Connecting my Maxxair Fan to the Bluetti Power Bank

- The inspiration to try this project again comes from Christi at @TinyTexan Adventures on TH-cam.
Christi once told me that she took inspiration for her van build from me which is such a nice compliment! Today I’m returning the compliment because her video on connecting her Maxxair fan to her power station inspired me to finally get this done.
Back in 2021 when I bought my Promaster van and decided to do a minimal-build conversion the Maxxair fan was one of my first big projects. I did try to connect it to a 12V plug but it didn’t work and to be honest I think I had the wrong kind of plug. So I moved on to more fun projects and here I am 3 years later with a fan that I can manually open as a vent but can’t use for it’s intended purpose to circulate air.
Last weekend I was watching Christi’s video and she made it look so easy that I realized I had no excuse! So today I’m taking you along with me as I buy the supplies and get this project done!
Go over to Christi’s channel Tiny Texan Adventures and give her some love. Thanks Christi!
Be Kind,
Adelina

Duck tape and Zip ties make the world go round!
I remember when you cut those holes gal!
You are gonna have soooooo much fun! You deserve it!😊
Duck tape is a miracle 😁.
Great job, Adelina! BTW, I really do like your saying "In a world where you can be anything, be kind!"
Thanks 😊
Great job! Happier adventures when you'll get some air flow this summer. My bag is packed and waiting on your next virtual adventure.😊
Can't wait!
Sometimes we hit a roadblock and put the trip on hold…then all of a sudden we figure out how to move the rock and it’s clear sailing ahead! Awesome progress! Looking forward to your future travels 😊… have a great week!
I love that analogy ☺️.
YOU ROCK!
Thanks so much for this. We were able to hook up our fan to a Jackery in about 10 minutes. We appreciate you! ❤
That is awesome!
Well done! Congratulations on making it happen. Take care!
Thank you!
Wow! I can’t believe how easy that was… I I also installed a max air fan in my van and it’s been sitting there for a year without being connected. I have been dreading it and waiting to find someone to do it for me (which is not characteristic ) I will now do what you just did. Incredible…. Thank you so much.!!!
Glad it helped! Let me know how it goes. You can do it! 😁
Great job!!! Summer will be here soon and let’s hit the road!!
🚐😎
You are a marvel,Adelin🎉
It's so amazing how we each inspire one another. Now you can enjoy camping more with a working fan. Missed Sophie so sending XOXO 🐈😺. Have a great week and see you in the next video. In the meantime take care.
Yes, we need to always support one another! Thank you!
I bought a fan to put in my tiny house. 2 1/2 years ago , so I am watching your video now. You know I built things all the time. Well a lot things. So I am going to try to put my fan in. I will be watching you do yours. Thanks so much. For sharing ok. And I have a window to take out in my kitchen, when the weather gets better I will try to do that. 🥹💕👏👏
Wow! Good for you! 😊💪🏼❤️
Woo hoo!!!🎉 Adelina!! I was hollering and 👏👏 for you!! We are women hear us roar!!
Absolutely! ❤️😊💪🏼
I am so impressed! Well done Adelina😊
Thanks Pam 😁
Great project completion! Way to go! I love how you’ve done the decor in your van & your tiny home! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
Thank you! 😊
Good job! Looking forward to your Van travels this summer.
Thanks! 😁
Way to go! Girl power indeed!!
💪🏼🧒🏻❤️😁
Bug screen i bought $5. White netting at IKEA and hung with a bungee secured with magnet hooks. Im greatful for this video because i need to do the exact same thing!! 😀
Good luck 😁.
Great job! Another project done and you made it look so easy. I am going to put 2 maxx fans on my van front and rear. I will save this for future reference! Thanks for your videos.
You can do it!
Good job! Can wait to see further updates on the van. Take care! 😊❤️
YeSssS ❤❤❤ Now tuning in Adelina!
Great job, looks so easy👍I like your van set up, really nice looks comfortable and looking forward to your next video, you and Sophie take care🐈🌻😀
Thanks Gloria 😊.
You are an inspiration ! Great job !
Thanks 😁.
Congrats on hitting the You Tube big time!.....Don't let it get to your head and forget about us common folk...I look forward to your review of the Bluetti because I've got my eye on one. I don't trust a lot of vanlifers reviews because they do a whole bloody commercial on power stations, and will never admit to getting it for free. You..I trust...So enjoy all that power! 🙂
LOL, thanks! I'll be putting it to the test this summer with the fridge and fan for sure.
12:36 I mean It seems like You had the connections as It should be. 🙌🏾✅ and YeSss with the electricians knowing their work! 😂🎯🤗😮💨
I like your curly hair. I knew you could do it . When you set your mind to something, you get it done.
Thank you! 😊
You are inspirational, Adelina. I am incorporating more veggies and vegan dishes in my diet because of your channel. I am also considering a van build/remodel after seeing you do it. Thank you!
That's so cool! 😎 thanks.
16:19 8 watts = 68 hours Is a steal! Imo I love that for you Goiirl! ❤
Yehh 🎉🎉🎉 so inspired .🏴
Thanks! 😊
How exciting! I love it when we can accomplish something we previously were reluctant to attempt.
Me too! 😁
Congratulations! Inspiring as usual.
Thank you so much!
Great video!
Especially the moment the fan worked :-) You're so good at these projects, well done!
Thanks! That was a happy moment. 😁
Very cool! I totally felt your ah-ha moment when the fan beeped and you turned it on. You are definitely one of MY inspirations for what you're doing and giving me ideas of what's out there and possible.
I can't wait for summer van adventures!
Awwww, thanks Laura! ☺️
Good job! You were so excited when it worked! So cute! looking forward to your adventures.
I was way more excited than I needed to be 🤷🏻♀️😁
Congratulations on getting this job completed. It did look so easy.
Thanks 😁.
I'm very impressed by your approach to building out your van. I've been wanting to do a similar build, but I'm a retired guy who doesn't have a lot of money. By going slow and steady, you're spreading out the economy of it. I enjoy all of your videos because you have a great attitude and easy going style. You do have an advantage over me in that you have a home to return to, where I would have to live in my van build while doing it. Keep up the fantastic work. Hugs from Colorado.
Hello Paul. Thanks. When will you be able to start your build?
I'm waiting for the weather to turn. Right now there's a 30° F swing from daytime to overnight. Perhaps another 15 days before starting. Thanks for the interest. 😊
Great job!!!
Thanks. 😊
Great vid! Thanks Adelina!
You bet Sue 😊.
Good Job!! You still amaze me! Love Ya! 🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯
😁

15:40 YeSsssS okayyyy now! 😌😍🫶🏾🙌🏾

We all inspire each other 💪🏼😁
❤❤great job 👏👍

@@myBIGtinyhouselife we’re doing okay thanks! ❤️
Great job 💪🏾👍🏾
Thanks 😁
Good job
❤
Well done! Great to check another project off the list. I just “re-subscribed” 😊. I’m so glad you mentioned to check the subscription because I was no longer subscribed… and I hadn’t changed anything.
Thanks for checking! It's happening to a lot of creators on YT. Not sure why. 🥺
I remember when you cut your first hole. My it had been awhile. 🎉
:) WELL DONE and THANKS MUCH for sharing! That Bluetti IS a MONSTER! ENJOY and ALL the BEST! Cheers :)
Thanks Marty. 😁
Don’t forget to put the sticker back on the wire ([above].
Great video!! Thank you 🙏🏽
Good call!
Yay! That's great!
😁
perfection!
😁
Thanks ! 😊
You're welcome 😊
I was thing the same thing. I put a longer cord on a light 💡 so I could put it right outside of my house. And I can plug it in when I want the light on at night. ( it works).
Good for you Betty 😊.
Thanks for the video I have an ecoflow I want to temporarily connect my fan to while I work on my electric
Glad I could help
I think you said you have a place in Texas and you do the RV van lifestyle? I found that instructional video p very relatable procrastinating ha ha. But yeah I have a place in Central Texas myself and do the same thing.
Hi. No, I've never said I live in Texas or that I live in my van. I think you're thinking of the Tiny Texan Adventures channel 😊.
I subscribed
Great job! You are a force Adelina!🤣 I’m still trying to catch up with all your older videos and came across your clean the shed out one with the pj and banana loaf recipe with it so I’m about to give it a try in muffin form (I’ll obviously adjust the baking time).
Always look forward to my Adelina Adventure fix! Thanks for all the smiles and inspiration. Still don’t think I could handle life in such a rainy spot in our beautiful country but it has its own charm I’m sure. Be well and have a wonderful week! Thank you for my moments of escapism 😉.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy your muffins ☺️.
Muffins are delicious!!!! Baked for 20 minutes. Made 15 muffins. And I was mistaken. This recipe was the video where you were trying to lessen the noise from your furnace! Thanks again Adelina!
Maybe i missed it. Did she wire the 2 wires into a traditional plug or usb plug?
A 12V plug. (Cigarette lighter plug)
If the bluetti is left on 24/7, will the battery run itself down without any of the items turned ON? Or do you need to turn the power station off each time?
I don't know. I turn all my power banks off when not in use. I do t imagine they use much power in standby mode.
@myBIGtinyhouselife I just wonder because if I place the battery under my bed in the back with everything plugged in, the juice can be instantly available without needing to reach or go to the back of my van to turn it on each time it's needed. Thanks for sharing. Maybe I should put it to the test. 🤔 🙋♀️😊
@CindyCaVANas definitely put it to the test.
14:07 and usually i think the colors match up with each other when fusing them together. As you mentioned hun 🎉🤎🔥👏🏾💃🏾💯🥳 Thank You for sharing this information with us Adelina!
17:48 I absolutely agree with you on this Community is so important 🫶🏾👏🏾✅🤗🎯💯
Great job! 😀❤

Great job 👏 😊
Thanks.
Thanks!!
