Thanks! If you set the vent to ‚on‘ and switch off the power supply- will it still be on when the power comes back? What I actually would like to know is if I can switch the fan on/off by switching the power supply on/off
Great vid! My controller stopped working or it’s not being recognized by the fan anymore… has full battery just not calibrated or something… any tips??
It is powered utilizing the same wire as the existing fan. If you just had a vent with no fan, then you would run power from a nearby 12v light. Sorry I don't have an installation video showing how I connected the wires, however, there are several out there on TH-cam.
Very good tutorial. Nicely done. I'd love to be able to turn off the fan and NOT have the lid close every time. I realize I can open the lid again (leaving the fan off), but there doesn't seem to be a way around this extra step. Wanting to turn off the fan and NOT closing the lid is something I do often. Am I missing something? (MaxxFan Deluxe 7500K)
Thanks for the kind words about the tutorial! Unfortunately, on the MaxxFan Deluxe 7500K, there isn't a built-in way to turn off the fan and leave the lid open. The thermostat and fan are powered together so if you turn off the fan the lid will close, unfortunately the closing mechanism is linked to the fan operation. Manual is the only way.
@@DougsX5 Thanks for the quick reply. I understand the explanation. It seems MaxxFan didn't think that one through. So often we stop needing the fan (e. g., after cooking or showering) but want to leave the lid open. Requiring the user to reopen the lid as an extra step is noisy and really should be unnecessary. Alas. Again, thanks.
@@mdm40mdm I don't have an answer then. That's how it works on mine. It may have an electrical glitch. Try pulling the fuse removing all power and maybe that will reset it.
I just used a putty knife, and slowly worked it off. Shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to scrap old sealant off. The overall job took approx 2 hours.
I can’t get the set temp to work well, put in two fans, and they will open well before the “set” temp. For example I had set temp at 83 and room temp was 73 and the fan came on….i don’t understand why
The settings for auto mode should be controlled at the fan. It comes preset at 78 degrees. Please watch this video for how to set auto mode m.th-cam.com/video/A_bdXzjijZc/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUWSG93IHRvIHVzZSBtYXggYWlyIGZhbg%3D%3D
I currently have the green light on and it will not go off, even after hitting the on/off button. In fact, nothing happens anymore. The fan does not run, but I suspect this is because it's in auto mode. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks
The green light is the 75 degree hold temp light. If that is turned on it will automatically run the fan on and off to try and maintain a temperature of 75 degrees. It should go off by turning the fan off. One thing you can try is to turn the fan on, and if the green light is still on then press the 75 degree button and hold it until a long beep is heard release and then push the on/off switch once and the light and fan should turn off. Otherwise it may be turned on on your remote control. Hope this helps.
@@DougsX5 Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I've tried all of your suggestions and nothing happens. I'm wondering if there is a malfunction with the unit.
@@bmd37289 You have to down power your whole RV by unplugging it from electric and turning your batteries off. Or you can find the fuse for that circuit and pull the fuse and then reinstall it.
Thank you great video I’ve got a channel too ~ just started working I had an RV shop less than three months ago because I’m a full timer and there’s just no way to get service so I have decided to get into the industry 😊
That's awesome! Thanks for checking out the video and thanks for the compliment! Working an RV shop while being a full-timer yourself is a fantastic idea. You've definitely got the firsthand experience to understand what customers need.
@@psketch If the green light is "on" that means you have Auto selected to maintain 78 degrees. Push the "Auto" button to turn the green light off and see if that works for you.

I believe it will default to off when powered back on by the power supply. Not sure as I don't operate mine this way.
Great vid! My controller stopped working or it’s not being recognized by the fan anymore… has full battery just not calibrated or something… any tips??
Unfortunately no, I haven't had to deal with that problem yet.
Is the remote control "radio" or "infrared - line-of-sight"?
Unfortunately yes.
Hi. How is this powered? Do you have an installation video ? Thank you

Thank you. Looking for something that has solar.
@@janingham1823 best way would be to invest in solar to charge your batteries. Then your entire RV benefits.

I can’t get the green light to go off on my max air. I accidentally turned it on. Do you know how I turn it off?
Should be able to just push the on/off switch.

@@bmd37289 No, sadly the RV technicians said I’d have to replace it
What did you use to remove old sealant? How long did it take you to do the installation? Great informational video

Plastic scrapper! Scrape and pop up motion! You'll have it clean in no time

@@DougsX5 according to instructions one can control the “set” temp with the remote! Good video about ventilation though.
The only thing I can think is try resetting it at the fan. It should work appropriately plus or minus 2 degrees.@@daviddurden9327

Problem. Our fan works but the vent does not want to open. Any ideas? Thanks. Yes it opens manually
Can you open the vent and NOT have the fan run?
Yes, you just open it manually.
Watch the video from the 7:00 mark to see how to do this.
Cover can't be open halfway is worthless it only opens all the way, so you have to use very high cover toler then ac itself
If you don't want it opened all the way then you have to manually open it.
