No Exhaust fan in toilet room

My 2011 Journey has no exhaust fan in the toilet room . I am looking for options

The shower has one but none in the other.

The DW says they don't make them that big.

Same design flaw in my Itasca. I'm considering options to vent through the wall or the floor or possibly through the window. I'm thinking a couple of computer style fans running off the 12 volt system with a timer to shut down after 15 minutes.

Another option is running a duct from the bathroom to the roof fan, but it would not look very neat.

It looks like there would be enough room in the ceiling for a smart fan,my last coach had one . I didn't notice it until it was time to "vent"

Not sure of your layout, and we have a ceiling fan in the toilet area----wimpy fan-----but I had a Fantastic Installed when we ordered our rig new above the bath sink thinking more of exhausting moisture, our toilet door has room at top and bottom----so I am certain the Fantastic draws enough air to vacate any-----well anything unpleasant. You could put a Fantastic in the bath area since you have a vent there------it might just take care of it in good odor-----er ah order-----.

Hmmm. Never understood the kitchen matches thing. But I don't think I want it explained to be either. You might as well put a "Do Not Enter" sign on the door. I do remember Tim the Toolman giant match skit though. Funny.

It Sounds like Winnies Bean Counters found another way to cut costs. I guess I would look into cutting a hole and installing a vent fan.

No mystery - when it comes to the human nose, the byproduct of combustion supersedes the byproduct of digestion...

I thought my 02 Journey was the only year they did this, I came accross a few owners that had one installed in the commode area even though there was one just outside in the hallway by the shower. Now we have one in the commode area and none in the shower area we just run the one and it takes care of everything its not like its a 1500 square foot space. By the way nice colors on the 2011 Journey

I bet you have a window in your bathroom.
I have no fan also, but a small window. I have noticed in other rvs, a window=no fan.

I have a fan and a window. I;d give one of them up just for reach-around room.

Don't think it matters if you have a window or not, it should have a fan. to draw odor out not blow it into the coach is the wind is from the wrong direction

Totally agree here, glad I got the fantastic fan in the bedroom, at least it draws it in that direction when its not occupied.
I guess in my case anyway they intended for you to turn on the noisy nearby fan next to the shower.

I have no problem spending money on or cutting a hole----- in someone elses coach---I'm the first in line and the sky is the limit ------------

What was I thinking suggesting a fantastic in the adjacent room--------I must be nuts----
