Switching the RV

As you know or should know, I love working on RV and retirement-related issues.  I especially like working with my hands too.  Had an issue.  The existing switch to turn on the bathroom light was under the medicine cabinet above the sink (see pic).  Can you imagine trying to find this switch in a small bathroom in the dark while having to go?  Not a convenient plan on the part of Voyager's manufacturer, Carriage.  At the same time, the switch to operate the vent is a tiny sucker (see pic) located above the toilet in the ceiling.  It is way too high for any kiddo to reach that may have to, well….vent.  So, I got-ta-thinkin' that I might as well solve both problems by wiring it in a convenient spot the same way it's wired in a typical house.  Ah, what a concept.  And, since I was changing the switch, I might as well update the overly loud stock fan with a modification I'd read about on RV.net--a computer 12V fan.  Actually, it was two fans.  Follow the progress in the pics below.
