this weekend I installed this.


First step, get ladder setup with protection for the fibreglass body.


Remove old roof vent. Came off a bit too easy for my liking tho.


All cleaned. used thinners and a scraper. Isopropal Alcohol to remove any oils etc.

Installing the MaxxFan, I had to remove a fair bit from the flange.
Was meant to be for a 14" opening (standard size). The internal garnish ring fitted fine as did the fan itself, but for whatever reason the flange had a 10mm high strengthening (?) area. Multitool soon fixed that. Not required for my install as the flange is sitting on a wooden / aluminium area.


Butyl tape and Marine grade sealent / adhesive applied. Flange installed.


MaxxFan installed and outside finished.


I was able to run wiring to the nerby light. Cable size was just fine for the fan



All done.


Long post. Hopefully not too boring but I am very happy with the way it turned out.
Excellent fan to use. Love the auto option!

8am set off on Saturday to Bilbao from Bidart , sailing home , overnight at Sunnydale and then the joys of the M6 ( though the ring road around Bordeaux wasn’t exactly carefree traffic free driving , I’ve never seen so many lorries out on a Sunday ! )
First job when I get home is to pick my sweetcorn crop , should be about 60 cobs to blanch and freeze .

What aren’t you enjoying or not getting about motorhoming?
You seem a gregarious fella with good taste so what boxes is it not ticking ?
We came to motorhoming after doing all the long haul destinations , luxury hotels and Michelin starred restaurants and we love every minute of motorhoming life .
