Hi, John with etrailer. You know you want a fan with a remote. Well, check this out. This is the MaxxFan Deluxe Powered Roof Vent Fan, and it's on our 2015 Ford F-53 chassis. Now this is a great fan that fits in place of another vent on your RV or on your trailer. This is gonna be a standard 14 by 14 hole.

You got the controls up here, which is nice. And it also comes with a full-function remote control as well. The fan's got 10 speeds, it's gonna have a thermostat on it, but the biggest thing for me is that this fan and the vent can be open while you're driving down the road. That can't be said for a lot of the other stuff out there on the market, and that's a real problem. Also, if you're storing your RV or your coach, this can be left up and you don't have to worry about a rain sensor or anything else with moisture coming in.

So you could set the thermostat to kick on at 78 degrees, maybe it's a sunny day and you've got this parked, this thing will automatically kick open and draw all the heat out or blow cold air in. Okay, so to begin our installation, we need to remove the broken vent that's on our coach right now. In order to do that, we're gonna have this roof sealant here that we need to remove. The base of this fan is gonna be bolted down into the roof, and the sealant is covering those bolts. So you can use a scraper.

We've got people that use multi-tools, oscillating multi-tools. You can see this stuff is kind of rubbery, so using the scraper seems to work okay. Now you definitely wanna be careful when you get down closer to your roof that you don't gouge your roof. So try to stay with the flange right now. Let me see if I can get one of these screw holes uncovered on these screws and kind of see what we need to do here.

So that's one of the screws we need to do, and you can kind of see them, you know, we're gonna expect one right here too. So here's another one. And so just kind of work your way around the fan shroud uncovering those, and then we're gonna pull these screws out. And while you're doing that, just kind of work the sealant loose around the flange so that it'll come up. So once you can identify the fastener that they use, in our case it's a Phillips head screw, you can work your way around. And really if you know where they are, you don't have to get them completely cleared off. This stuff is pretty flexible and the bits end up grabbing anyway. So just work your way around and get all the screws out. Now inside the coach here we're gonna remove the inner bezel. It looks like we've got four Phillips head screws. (drill whirring) Okay. Now we can head back up to the roof and we'll cut the sealant that's holding it, and we should be able to lift this fan straight up. Now we have the interior trim lowered and the bolts and screws are out of the top here. So really the only thing that's holding this on is gonna be this sealant. So we need to work our way around separating the sealant from the flange here. And again, you wanna be careful that you don't dig into your roof. But the other thing to think about is that we have a 12-volt electrical line in here. Now we haven't seen where exactly it is, but when we go and pull this up, then we'll be able to check that out. Okay. All right. So here is our electric line here. Okay, so that's the old fan. We're gonna cut the wires. But the other thing we need to do for sure is we wanna clean up all of the old sealant and caulk and everything else they have around this, so it could be a nice, clean prep surface for the new fan. Now we have the old sealant all scraped off and vacuumed up. We don't want any of this old stuff being driven into the roof, so make sure your area's nice and clean. First thing we're gonna do is we'll disconnect the fan. And your kit will come with the sheet metal screws, and these wood screws, and these electrical connectors to hook up the new fan. So right now I'm gonna get the connectors at least on the RV side to keep us from popping a fuse. When you do this, make sure you match up the wiring the same as it was when you go to reconnect it. That's why I left a little bit of wire on the fan itself. It's just makes it a little bit easier later on that you know how it was connected to begin with. Give it a tug, make sure it's secure on there. We'll get the other one on. So we've got the new fan here.
