Roof vents - iKangooCamping

Soon fixed side windows will be fitted to the rear.   To improve ventilation, a Fiamma 280mm lifing roof vent is being fitted leading to a heart-in-mouth moment at the first cut was made to the van roof.  Neither of us have ever attempted this previously and although J is a very competent and skilled woodworker, he's never previously cut metal with a jigsaw.   

Fitting the internal framing for the roof vent.  These are designed to be fitted to caravans and motorhomes with a double-skin construction.  Clearly, my tin van doesn't have this so a frame is needed to provide both stability and something to screw into to secure the vent.

The roof vent in place - and sealed to prevent water ingress.
