An EXPERIENCED RV tech. would have not trusted a sticker. He would have:
Checked for stud locations with a stud finder.
Verified location was good on the outside wall (IE: nothing in the way outside).
Drilled a small pilot hole at center point of vent location from inside listening and feeling to make sure it did not contact a stud.
Used high tooth count (fine finish) scrolling jig saw blade to cut left and right of the pilot hole to verify no studs in the way. If hit stud adjust hole accordingly.


It's not rocket science. Any reasonably experienced handyman can do it right.


In the OPs case unfortunately he got the kid fresh out of high school that was clueless. Worse yet they tried to cover it up or didn't know any better maybe?


Like I said above, TAKE YOUR RV TO A REPAIR ONLY business!!


Some of you may have been lucky and Keystone accidentally put your sticker in the right place. But I can assure you it isn't a guarantee on ALL the units they build and if they use a small sticker like they did on mine it isn't exactly showing an EXACT location as the hole has to be far larger than the sticker!


This is something that Keystone COULD address with little effort. AND THEY SHOULD!
