Sprinter Van Fantastic Fan Install 

solid video thank you for taking time to film this! Ill be picking up my van for my motovan build soon! Cheers from Texas!

I picked this up off eBay and it didn't come with the screws or remote. I installed the whole thing before realizing I had no way to turn it on. I looked all over for a picture of one without a switch. Thank you so much for showing me that it appears not to be broken. It's just the sensors and not broke off. Sigh. Heavy sigh. Thank you.

Buen vídeo 👌 gracias.

Now that's one fine job on the installation of the fan and the production of your video too. Thanks for putting this up.

Do not measure twice. Measure 10 times. This is not a do-over scenario. This is a space mission to the moon. Mistakes are not an option. I spent 30 minutes inside my van measuring where the van will fit and marking my first corner hole. Then another 30 minutes on the roof measuring and marking the lines for my cut. I also stopped a few times in the middle of cutting to measure my cut to make sure it was not running in/out. My cut came out perfect and I do not regret taking the extra time to do it right. I highly recommend placing your fan in a spot where you only have to cut into one groove/valley/bump or whatever you want to call it. Cutting out that groove weakens the roof considerably so try to avoid cutting more than one groove.

when applying caulking of any sort. use a solution of mild soap and mainly water. Spray it on the caulk and use finger to smooth it out. This will get rid of any air gaps as well seal properly and look much better.. Window installer do the same thing

thank God for you posting this video

Great Install job!!!!! You make it look so easy. You said around 3 hours to install? I'd be luck y to do it in 6 hours. Thanks for posting the video. Big help for me!!!

Great vid!

Where is it best to place the fan (front vs back of bus) . My kitchen is toward the front of the bus but my bed and pets area is toward the back. Just curious where it’s going to be most efficient!

No leaking issues.

This is great! Thanks! Were actually doing the same thing, moving the fan so we have to work around the ridges. Have you had any leaking issues since putting it in?

Anyone else have the problem where it blows the fuse when starting Everytime?

heith :) That's actually why I searched videos on this because I wanted to know how high (height lol) it went. I thought it could be cut down, though.

I have been watching a lot of videos on this. I am about to install one of these on my 2002 Dodge ram van. I am really starting to think that screwing through the top of the roof is not necessary at all. Those extra holes are asking for extra leaks. Wouldn't enough sealant around the edges hold it down fairly well?

How did you paint your roof AC? Did you remove the cover and paint it or paint it while on the roof?

great video! but f.y.i. the noun form of high is height not heighth

My 3500 Sprinter Van has a spot played out on the roof for a vent or fan.

Nice install. But how do you power it? Any info on wiring the fan to the 12v system?

DO NOT(!!!!) make relief cuts to flatten the roof like in this video!!! Very very bad idea. You are risking so much for basically nothing. Just build up the flat areas to the higher levels with an adapter or stuff the gaps in the grooves with mastic tape. Keep it simple. Don't create unnecessary work where one wrong cut/bend and you just created a bigger hole and have to buy sheet metal and do welding. Don't do it.

After over a year, have you had any leak issues? Would you do anything differently if you had to do it again?

thats alot of rattle trap... they say only use about 25-30% coverage, anything above that doesnt do anything but add cost and weight.

how did you wire the fan?

how do you do the wiring? where does it connect to?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Some of the very worst silicone beading I have ever seen.
