Very cool idea.

You can export the STL file to a Google Drive (cloud) and post a link here. Anybody who clicks the link can download the file (but not edit it).

LMAO!!! Thanks for the humor, Rob.

I went totally low key. Got a piece of black plastic pipe and cut appropriate slots in one end to fit between the bumps on the knob and it works just fine.

Hi, Thats not a problem for her. Just you as you will have to be opening and closing it for her LOL. I'm just 5ft too. We have a solitude 3550 bh. Wish it had an electric fan. Still, I married my hubby for a reason.

I found a kit to buy that was basically a 2" screw and an extention metal tube. Cgeap but I had to drill one of the tubes out.

That is a cool tool! I put MaxFans w/covers in all 3 vents. My wife's short also, so it's either have me do it or get the folding step out.

I installed this.

If you can print these at a reasonable price you might want to sell them, sounds like a new business idea in the making.

I'd like to put in a Maxxair fan or equivalent. The fan vents into a permanent, raised weatherproof hood so no auto hood needed. I just want a multispeed fan with a remote. Any suggestions on Model # and is it a big deal to replace?

I love the Fantastic Fan with rain sensing and remote control. The Fan is reversible and has 10 speeds plus temperature sensing control. I had the dealer install two of them when we bought the coach (kitchen and bath). Love the remote controls!
