I don't have any more pictures but all I did was build a simple box and took scrap pieces of wood and angle cut triangles bracing each corner nailed and glued them as well. I pre-drilled those corners and used that to secure the box to the ceiling.
I tapped into the lights over the bed for the 12v power source and ran the wires out the cabinets above the bed and cut another piece of oak trim to hide the wires.
Then I made a template and cut wood to separate the air returns from the blower side and cut a piece of 3/4" oak plywood cut the vents and returns, ran the wires and pre-drilled it and the box and screwed it to the box. Then I took some oak outside corner to finish the trim off.
The fan was screwed to the oak plywood and the wiring was pretty straight forward. Here is a link to the fan I ordered. It doesn't move a ton of air but it is very quiet and has a remote control.

Finally got around to installing Smart Tiles in the galley and the bath. I thought it turned out very well. DW was pleased with it. Also installed the Vortex fan upgrade to replace the noisy little bath fan. In the process, I also replaced the seal, and the lid. When removing the old lid, the lift arm bushing disintegrated and I had to engineer a fix for that so the lift arm would stay in the slot on the lid when opening and closing. I have to say I'm very pleased with the new fan. Not as nice as my Fantastic Fan, but 100 times better than the old bath fan I replaced. Much quieter and seems to move more air. Made for a full day of it.

Looks great,
I've been contemplating tearing our carpet our and putting engineered wood floor down but not sure what to do about the slide area, it doesn't really sit flush with the floor when deployed, might have to leave out carpeted.
Nice work looks good.

After seeing what happens to vinyl, you decide on more vinyl? Why not real tile? I am thinking about installing carpeting on top of the vinyl my MH came with. I'd like to walk barefoot from the bedroom to the cockpit without getting cold feet.
