KZfaq is stupid. How do these RV remodeling videos not have more views. They don’t just show before and after. They show the entire job. Amazing channel. THANK YOU.

Exactly what I needed thank you! Great job!

Excellent video. I was wondering how I could add a fan to a vent that doesn't have a fan. Now I know! Tap into the light next to it! Loved the table saw work on the flange. Thanks for the lesson.

Thank you for making your replacement video and posting here on KZfaq. Our 31.5’ 5th wheel had only one vent fan. I just replaced the others with fan and lights vents. For the vent covers from MaxAir, I too, modified the brackets to work with the plastic vent body and the lower clearance. I did not do the butal tape clean up. I see you followed instructions! I’m a lazy lady, but I try to reuse as much as possible. The butal tape from the original instal was in great condition and wider than the new stuff my husband bought. I just dusted it all down, added the very narrow butal tape to the screw hole lines. Nice and snug fit. I used self-leveling sealant the same brand as you used here. Two of the three fans are too high for manual cranking. I bought rain sensor with remote control. Our lives have improved so much with the fans venting out the heat that hugs the ceiling and later it may be switched/reversed to bring in the cool air of the evening. We do not use the factory ac. It is noisy, sucks up electricity like a thirsty elephant, and did not bring us much comfort. Our lives keep us in SW NM where it is terribly hot and dry. We prefer ‘swamp’ coolers which gives us some relief from the dry air, don’t cost an arm and a leg to run, and are easy to place as they are portable. No one taught me to tie into the light fixture. It just made sense. It keeps the ceiling clean and wire free. Thanks again…please loose the music it detracts from the voices.

Hello, thank you very much for this video. I would add only three things. 1. When I attach something to the roof, vent flanges, solar panels etc. I use putty tape between the two, It is thicker and wider. If the flanges are flush, I would just smear the surface in between with Dicor. 2. When connecting electrical wires in an RV I always use crimp connecters. Your RV goes down the road with a never-ending earthquake and I think wire nuts are not that decent a connector in the first place. It may be a small point, but I would crimp and then you can forget it aside from a leak. 3. I would put a lot more Dicor on the final outside surface of the vent flanges. You are caulking the edge like you would at home, but this is going vibrate and flex and all the rest and I would rather use an second tube of Dicor and smear the entire surface full all the way around. Newer RV's often have roof caulking that is 2 or so inches wide, perhaps for the same reasoning. For me, we found that in our bathroom having a shower if we opened the small window and ran the fan you had it was pretty good at (a) getting shower moisture out and (b) other smells. However, in the main room, because we have tip out windows everywhere, the air circulation is not as good and the coach can get hot when in the sun. I will be changing out the vent in the living room with a powered fan. I have found the fantastic fans are pretty expensive. I prefer not to have all the automatic stuff as when I am boondocking, I want to have positive control over my power usage. Instead, I can crank up the lid myself and I am fine with a 3-speed fan with reverse. Such fans ae half the price and should do the same job. Travel safe. Henri (RVing with Henri)

Thank you I’ll be doing this soon on our fifth wheel. Thank you Awesome video

Thanks for the instructions. Your background song was stuck in my head while I installed mine! Great video

Thanks much, bought a 2013 travel trailer a few months back and this is one of many DIYs that I have to do.

Very good instructions, thank you very much 🙌🏼

I ran roof sealant around the outside edge and on the screw heads to be safe.

Thank you for this video. I will be installing new roof fans to my RV and this gave me more info. Bless you all

Nice upgrade!!

Very simple and very informative! Thank you!

Strong work!

Love the video straight to the point on each stage needed...nice work ❤❤

Super job, very helpful!!

Sweet fan. Man, these original fans don't do any anything. The parts for everything are outrageous. I should have built a house instead. Great video.

Thanks for the video it really was worth it.

Keep it up guys!

thanks! Just did this with your help :)

great vid. thanks for showing the process so I now know I will never do this ridiculous amount of work just to increase airflow by 25%. and everything went relatively smooth in your process.

My fan doesn’t have a name on it. But now I need a new one. Can I get a dometic Fantastic Fan in it’s place and use their vent cover. Simpler to what you did here? It’s it a 14 x 14 standard roof whole?

First class video. Very helpful. One question. Can I use mineral spirits or paint thinner or denatured alcohol to clean with instead of lacquer thinner?

Great video. Do you have a link to the fan cover ?

I’m installing a new fan without wiring and plan to tap into a light nearby. Does the light switch have to be on though for power to the fan?

Great video! Also what about all the previous screw holes? Did you need to make sure you covered those with butyl tape or lap sealant? Or not necessary?

my new fan has red for the hot and black for ground. I was wondering about connecting the wiring. So do all RV's have white for ground and black for hot. I am holding off on the replacement until I know for sure. I don't have anything to check the circuit with. I am electricity stupid.

What about instead of Thinner, can I use Acetone to clean up? Is there a difference between Thinner and Lacquer Thinner?

I’m just so confused. I wish i had someone able to look at my place. i live in texas. it’s hot. do i remove my ac unit? how do i know if i can even get a fan?

Can you come install one for me? Georgia??

Thank you kindly!🙏🏽
