In order to be able to work in the access area I had to cut the AC supply duct. It was too short to put back together so I ended up replacing it.

I need a flat spot to mount an L shaped board that will be used to support the heater. I notched the rail that was the routing point for the grey conduit.

Installed one of two of the euro vents. Installed here so if Vberth was installed it would not restrict the air flow under the cushions.

The 3 inch hose was run from the vberth under the sink in the head and then follows same route as the AC duct. The wires are for the fan unit on the heater.

Vent two is in the cockpit. These euro vents are cool. Not only do they have a closable louver, but they rotate 360 degrees.
