Do I Need to Mount the Replacement Exterior Pop-Up Roof Vent on a Stud?
Updated 08/14/2024 | Published 08/12/2024
Question:
I am looking at installing these on the side of an aluminum enclosed snowmobile trailer one on each side. My question is do I need to have the leading edge i.e. towards the front screwed into a vertical wall stud/beam, or is mounting in between so that only the skin is holding it on, sufficient? Placing them in the middle would be ideal, but the last thing I want to see is the wind ripping back my side paneling! Thanks!

The Replacement Exterior Pop-Up Roof Vent item # RV-626-062 can be installed anywhere on your trailer. It does not have to be bolted into a wall stud. Mounting it between them on a panel will be sufficient.
