Reverse the connectors on one of the wire connections so there is never a question of polarity when reconnecting the wires in the future. Also, use self leveling lap sealant on the top surface of the roof flange so your finished work doesn't look like such a hack job!
dogpatch75 You said it well...”hack job” was the one word that came to mind while watching this. Why is it that in North America this is supposed to be a professional instal? On the roof there is goop schmeered everywhere and on the inside gaps and wires visible. I definitely wouldn’t be happy with it if I’d done it myself, much less if I hired someone to do it.
Is there a difference in the maximum fan speed on the 4-speed vs. 10-speed model MaxxFan or is it just a matter of having 4 vs. 10 interval settings with the same maximum speed?
The "smoke" colored cover is translucent but not see through. It's a darker tint. When the vent is closed it extends 5" above the roof. When open it extends 9-5/16" above the roof. Technically you can add a rocker switch to the vent but since it is designed for 12v Maxxair does not recommend wiring the vent to a seperate switch. The fan is designed for a constant 12v feed and flipping a switch on will create short high spike in voltage. Overtime those short spikes in voltage will run the fan down causing failure.
would the maxxfan deluxe be overkill for a camper shell on a pickup truck? trying to figure out the best way to keep the temperature down back there with my dogs loaded. thanks

I see from another Question, that Smoke is “translucent but not transparent”. ?!? So, I gather that means Extremely diffused (Light) ? Then how about White, is that “translucent”, as well ? I LIKE the fan A Lot, but I want as much Light to come through as possible ......
If you are wanting as much light as you can get, you are going to want to go with the white. The white lid will provide much more light than the smoked lid. The smoked lid will act as a tint limiting the amount of light that comes in but not all of it. www.etrailer.com/RV-Vents-and-Fans/MaxxAir/MA00-07000K.html

As long as you use a good sealant (see links below) you shouldn't experience any kind of links. Really the only way that rain could get in is if you are parked and the winds are high enough that they are sweeping the rain in below the rain cover with the vent opened (which would be the same case with any kind of rain cover).

@@etrailer I was planning step down from 18v to 12.. but that might step up amps to 20a.. what im not clear on is what that will mean if the source is 12v but 20a and the load is 12v 3a.

Is there a difference in the maximum fan speed on the 4-speed vs. 10-speed model MaxxFan or is it just a matter of having 4 vs. 10 interval settings with the same maximum speed?
It has the same maximum speed as the base model
Just more variable in speed
you can't see through them? can i add rocker switch to use base model as fan or extractor ? what's the clearance when its closed?
The "smoke" colored cover is translucent but not see through. It's a darker tint. When the vent is closed it extends 5"
above the roof. When open it extends 9-5/16" above the roof. Technically you can add a rocker switch to the vent but since it is designed for 12v Maxxair does not recommend wiring the vent to a seperate switch. The fan is designed for a constant 12v feed and flipping a switch on will create short high spike in voltage. Overtime those short spikes in voltage will run the fan down causing failure.
so the industry designs these boxes WITHOUT proper ventilation?

Great video I tried to find it but I could not find, can you pinpoint what is the difference between 7000 and 7500.
The only difference is the cover. One will be white and the other is smoke.

why put so much sealing so it looks that messy, dont need that amount
You don't want the screw holes or where the fan meets the roof to leak.
www.etrailer.com/RV-Vents-and-Fans/MaxxAir/MA00-07000K.html
Can it be put on a sloping roof, where the slope is down to the front of the caravan
You just want to make sure that you have a good seal on the roof if it is sloped.

With these models do you still need to install a vent cover?
You do not need an additional vent cover. The cover is the lid that comes installed on this vent.

Did you pre-drill the 16 holes before screwing in the screws? Thanks!
The holes are already pre-drilled on the vent ring that seats to the roof. We did not pre-drill into the roof.

etrailer.com great, thanks!
You are very welcome!
Why don’t you use butyl tape under the bracket?!
Can these be mounted on a curved cargo trailer roof?
It depends on the amount of curve but if it's quite a bit then standard vent sizes normally don't work well. You may be able to use a smaller round vent with fan www.etrailer.com/p-VP-543SP.html
Can you manually open the electric versions ?
You can manually open them by turning the black knob on the bottom near the controls.

Leaking during rainy season?
As long as you use a good sealant (see links below) you shouldn't experience any kind of links. Really the only way that rain could get in is if you are parked and the winds are high enough that they are sweeping the rain in below the rain cover with the vent opened (which would be the same case with any kind of rain cover).

What's the difference between this and the 5100K?
The MA00-05100K is a manual lift compared to the fan featured in the video part # MA00-07500K has a powered lift. Also part # MA00-07500K has a black cover and the MA00-05100K has a white cover.

Hand or foot made
A black wire for the positive+ ? Now that's a first.
It is a little different than what everyone is used to, but that is just the way Maxxair designs their wiring.
I see many of these have circuit board issues. Made in China
We have not heard or seen many issues with this fan and the circuit board. Many people love the auto close feature for when it rains.

Same this thing is junk.
Has anybody ever tried to run 18v through this fan?
I contacted maxxair and anything over 12 volts will cause the fan to wear down and eventually fail.
@@etrailer I was planning step down from 18v to 12.. but that might step up amps to 20a.. what im not clear on is what that will mean if the source is 12v but 20a and the load is 12v 3a.

Terrible fit! You can see the sealant on the inside….
Clean the roof
Why if the customer didn't pay for it?
