Question:
I have a Wells Cargo , motortrack 20ft. when installing this vent# V2110SP-24 do I need to make a wood frame to go between the roof joists? or can I just cut the hole and fasten to roof?

Expert Reply:
You should not have to fabricate anything to go between the roof joists to install the Ventline vent # V2110SP-24. The vent does come with a garnish that can be trimmed some to fit different roof thicknesses. If your trailer roof is thin enough you may need to fabricate something for it to fit more flush on the inside of the trailer.
I also recommend vent installation kit # 344270KITW. It includes screws, tape, and caulk needed for installation. I have included a link to a video review of the roof vent for you.
