    Is it possible to install a dehumidifier ?
    It might be best not actually in the bathroom, but taking air from one part of the room, and returning it to another. That way, you wouldn't need good airflow into the room, nor good airflow out.

    In my experience, steamy bathrooms are a summer problem. In winter, with heating on, the warmer air carries more moisture and a decent extractor fan carries it away, preventing everything from steaming up. If it is a concern to you in summer, then set your heating to come on a bit before your shower and just for a short period.

    Does the fan have an overrun timer ??
    My bathroom fans are set to run for 15 minutes after the light has been switched off.
    Moving the vent is not really worth doing I don't think.
