Next winter, when we're in Florida, I'll probably get one of the Fantastic Fan covers for the bathroom fan.

Do you need a drill to install these, or will hand tools do the job?

I understand they mount somehow on the rim of the existing fan ...

Yes you do need a drill, I installed 2 on the 2619 and it was pretty easy. I'll do the Elk the next couple days and will let you know how that goes.

Vent covers are installed, no problems, pretty easy to do. I used a 3' x 2' piece of plywood to lay on when needed and it worked fine. I did disassemble the fan tastic vent fan for cleaning and to make sure I didn't drill into anything when attaching the vent cover brackets.

No problems encountered other than the 95 degree heat while laying on the roof! I was ready to finish when I did.

Ok, maybe I'll take along the portable drill. I carry along just about everything else when we got to Florida anyway

No wonder I needed to upgrade my truck to one with a higher payload!

Do you carry a tall ladder too?
For some reason, I expect you to say "yes"....

When we were having the roof leak problems I did indeed. Lashed on top of the truck along with the kayaks. But after the roof was fixed, no.

Have been known to lean a picnic table against the side and climb up that. A little precarious though, so I'll probably bring the ladder this winter. It's the upper part of an Al extension ladder, cut down somewhat, and very light.

After all, we're already carrying along the kitchen sink.

I'm 220 and use old cushion foam under the 3/4 inch plywood so as to not scrape anything.

Good Luck
