Jared, I should do a counter video called - How To Install A RV Fan Vent The Wrong Way - According to my mother in law I'm always doing everything wrong.

@AllAboutRVs Год назад

Haha, that’s funny. We joke my Mother-in-law didn’t like me until I started fixing things at their house.

@louannthomas8043 Год назад

I still need things fixed, where are you?

@TomGarner99 Месяц назад

I watched 3 or 4 of these installs before yours. You WIN!! NICE WORK!

@thedillon6 7 дней назад

Jared I know this video is old but you listed Alpha sealant vs. Dicor but on your Amazon page you have Dicor for self leveling. I'm curious which you feel is better and use more often. I watched your video numerous times and got nervous about the roof and had someone install it but then while helping/watching them was mad at myself because you were right it was an easy install just need to be careful. Next time I'll trust you and do it myself and save a few hundred dollars. I really do appreciate all that you put out for the RV community! We have a GD with the same roof material as you if that makes a difference between Alpha and Dicor. I also appreciate all the links you provide, we've purchased several things from your links like the fan :)

I appreciate the install video!! I am uncomfortable with repairs/upgrades on the roof for fear of damaging the roof membrane. Your tips for peeling the sealant off is very helpful to me for gaining confidence on replacing the shower sunlight that has discolored and crazed. Maybe I can do it myself and save some money. I thought of putting a fan in our master but it’s not wired. There is a light nearby that I could probably tap into but coupled with my reservations about roof work, it just seemed to much for me to handle. Now, I’m a little closer to considering it again, thanks!

We have a Grand Design 3100RD and much to my disappointment it came with 3 cheap fans and one vent only no fan. There was no option to upgrade from the factory so the very 1st trip out I upgraded all 4 to the Max Air 10 speed with remote and auto open close feature. We LOVE them, they make a huge difference in moving air and when the trailer is parked in storage the auto mode helps regulate the temperature and humidity inside. They also have the ability to pull air in too or run as ceiling fans in that mode with the lid closed which is great in the spring and fall for moving warm air inside. I added solar and lithium so power use is minimal and the benefits are absolutely outstanding. I don't understand why you are not able to upgrade the fans with factory orders?

@johnlong3102 Год назад

Very nice job, I changed one out in my bathroom. As you said, it's not that hard. Just take your time.

@nhaukap 4 месяца назад

Thanks for posting this - I'm in the market to replace the Fantastic fans in my trailer and this is a great tutorial. And bonus points to you for using your bare hands to remove all of the sealant! Scraping around with tools or putty knives - as I've seen in other videos - strikes me as a terrible idea; your method was MUCH safer. I'm an RV (travel trailer) newbie and I really appreciate your videos!

@douglasdillon9280 Год назад

Jared we want to add that type of fan into our bathroom. How do you know which Maxx Fan will fit properly? We have a GD Reflection 303RLS so I’m betting it’s same bathroom fan you had? Great video and I definitely think I can tackle this project myself thanks to videos like yours.

@il7747 14 дней назад

I have a question...looking into replacing my vent fan. It install from the inside. So on my 2022 jayco 264bh the fan comes with a t- handle to open and close the vent. If i replace it with a fan that comes with a knob to open or close the vent, will it work

@TrentShivley 5 месяцев назад

Love the videos, Jared! Thanks for all the great information you provide! We just purchased a 2018 28bh and I'm looking to do this install in the kids bunkhouse as well. Can I assume there will be dedicated power right there or will i be tapping into a light fixture? I know the front bedroom is already prepped, but I i can't find anything about the bunkhouse. Thanks!

@prepper1013 Год назад

2:08 Child labor. That's been my go to method for several years now. lol

@evergreenacresuny2877 Год назад

My tip with this fan is to make sure you separate the four screws for attaching the base to the fan from the other screws. If I remember correctly, they are shorter and undoing the screws to find them after you caulked is not a fun time. Marshmallow fluff scares me now.

@JasonGarcia-t3y 4 месяца назад

What is we just have a vent and no fan with power, where do I pull the power from ?

@willpursell 2 месяца назад

Same deal with fibreglass campers?

@tomoneill1182 Год назад

I have the same camper, Grand Design Reflection 28BH 2022. I've got the fan installed, but I am having difficulty getting it wired. I took off the wall panel where the light switch and the TV Backer is. I see some 12v wires that I could splice in. However, before I splice the wire I’ve been trying to fish the wires up through the ceiling. I can’t get it to go through. Any tips? Did you have to take off the ceiling panels too?

@campinwill9977 3 месяца назад

I just replaced a vent on my Class A. A couple of points: First I wish I would have removed the inside trim, that exposed wires to upgrade to a powered vent. Next is that my 10 year old sealant was not just rolling off. A Multi tool turned a 5 hour job into 30 minutes.

@timf6916 Год назад

We like the Max Fan also. Have one in our bath, hehehe we have a GD and the bath fan was a JOKE LOL

@AllAboutRVs Год назад

You are so right.

@TheRoadTaken 3 месяца назад

I replaced my fan using this video has a guide. Two huge blisters on my thumbs from peeling back the adhesive lol but ultimately job done and super pleased with results. I did go with the Maxx air fan deluxe and have zero concerns about leaks due the the amount of preparation I did (no adhesive to be found) again thaanks to your video stating how important prep work was for this.

@Rocksteady176 Месяц назад

A can of Goof Off aerosol. Spray the old butyl caulk, wait 5 minutes and the butyl caulk slides right off. No need to seperate the skin from your finger nails. NEVER USE caulk sealent. Instead buy a tube of 3M windshield adhesive. It will last 20 years if needed.

@il7747 Год назад

I always like watching your videos. I just watched the ammo can one and looking forward to installing that and getting rid of my fancy plastic bag.😂 my question to you is i have a 2022 jayco 264bh. The fan in restroom has a lever to open the door instead of the knob that ive seen in all the videos. Would the install be the same if i get the fan that you install from the inside if the trailer has a lever instead of the knob. Or would i have to do something different?

@marixaacevedo8498 Год назад

I have a question for anyone who might be helpful, would the fan that is 4 speed work with the same switch that comes installed that has the on and off option and the opening and closing option, or would we need to install a new switch completely to work with this 4-speed fan. Hopefully someone can help

@CF542 Год назад

Great video! I have been wanting to do this for my RV, especially in the bedroom area where they placed a vent with no fan. Not sure how to pull the 12 Volts yet but there is a smoke detector and lighting nearby I may be able to use.

@jimegan7077 Год назад

I got blisters just watching you roll that sealant off the roof! I've had another brand of fan waiting to be installed for almost a year. The old (OEM) fan's base cracked and allowed water in. I sealed it up with Eternabond, which worked, but I still need to put the new one in. Good tip about rolling the old sealant off in the heat. I was thinking cold would work better, but apparently not.

@TheDefenderSisu Год назад

I think it is the best fan ever made. I am going to get one more on prime days for my new Ibex 23RLDS.

@AllAboutRVs Год назад

Good idea, I’m sure there will be a deal.

@safety_dave Год назад

I also installed a voltage regulator since my LiFePo4 converter runs at a higher voltage. There have been issues with circuit boards failing at elevated voltage levels, so this should eliminate that failure mode.

@garryhammond3117 Год назад

Thanks Jared - I installed the Maxfan Deluxe 7500 in the location that had a vent that had a (UV related) disengrating cover. Totally love it - it blows in or out with 10 speeds and temp control. - Expensive, but cheaper than a 2nd A/C unit. - Cheers!

@TMan4775 Год назад

Thank you for your video. In general are all the bathroom vents about the same size?

@SpykersB Год назад

Yup, AZ expert goes with the dicor too, vs the butyl tape. Lol 🍻

@AbortedEvolution 8 месяцев назад

Definitely getting this model. Ya sold me with the base so you don't have to keep tearing the roof up when it dies.

@dalenelson3707 Год назад

I rolled off two giant blisters on both of my thumbs taking the Dicor off 🤣

@bigoldal2436 Год назад

Not sure about this one but if it's made in China get some decent screws from the hardware store.

@tim9324 Год назад

We really like the Hengs RV fan as it is so easy to install so long as you already have electric nearby.

@AllAboutRVs Год назад

Yes it is by far the easiest and a decent fan.

@blakeryan29 Год назад

Your timing couldn't be more perfect! My maxx air vent fan gets delivered tomorrow!

@thetravelinghoundBristol Месяц назад

I considered doing this which is how i found your video. After watching it, I’ll just pay my RV repair guy an hour and a half labor to do it for me. That’s NOT worth the effort or time involved.

@AllAboutRVs Месяц назад

Glad it helped you make a decision. It’s not for everyone to jump up there and swap it out.

Having changed our the older Maxair fans with the new Maxair'10 speed remote with the built in hood, I've been able to use the older trim from Maxair without having to go through the trim to fit. Of the 3 I've installed, I only had to trim one about 1/8 inch in a corner for a nice snug fit. And it you align it correctly, you can even use the existing holes in the ceiling from the previous fan.
