I followed your instructions, used the recommended sealant as indicated in instructions and I actually had a fiberglass roof with just barely a curve to it but didnt have to make any modifications. 👍

Much the same way I did mine, but I used a 2x2 wooden frame underneath the fan to give the roof more stability.

Great video. my question is do you need to down or alter the piece that goes on the inside to fit? my roof thickness is 32mm, any help before I install would be much appreciated 😁

Hi there. I have just had my max air deluxe delivered. Just wanted to check it is usual that the external flange is not predrilled through the plastic and I have to do this myself. Couldn’t see in the video if you were drilling through the plastic of flange or just the metal roof. Thanks a million

Great video guys good to see an Aussie channel I’ve in Sydney my whole life, but I just brought this fan from eBay wait for it to arrive, I wanted to know how do you know if it should go the front or back as I have a Toyota high ace bus 14 seater high roof, also what’s the going or I’ve rate to get it installed please, cheers

@OutbackEquipment 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Pearcey, it's recommended to be placed at the front of your unit to maximise airflow, however you can place it in the rear, just keep in mind due to the exhaust / intake louvers that face the rear of the vehicle, the Maxxfan requires a roof area clear of obstructions such as air conditioners, storage boxes, etc. for at least 203 mm to the rear of the existing standard roof vent flange outer rear edge. Send us an email at service@outbackequipment.com.au, and we can supply an installation instruction manual for your review. Hope this helped

The swarf from the jigsaw will melt through the clear-coat / paint... then 6 months later all of the little melted spots will have rusted dots everywhere. You must protect the paintwork before doing any cutting.

@naturemama9175 5 ай бұрын

What would you recommend using to protect the paint?

@aus140 5 ай бұрын

@naturemama9175 old newspapers, a bed sheet, some plastic from the hardware store - it will need to the cover the whole roof and down the sides by about 5cm Then painters tape to hold it all down; using lots of tape at the cut-line, then cut-through-it to ensure no swarf touches the roof.

Thanks for the install video - very helpful. However you installed on a flat roof and I wish mine was flat but ... Do you have suggestions / a video for a roof with ridges? Is it just a matter of more silicone to seal up the "lower" bits of the roof? Ah just read the comment below about using butyl tape to "pack" the lower portions to make the gap waterproof - yes?

@OutbackEquipment Жыл бұрын

Hi Julie, yes that is correct, we've done this before on our own van builds and it worked very well, it will give you a harder surface the whole way round the edge to put pressure on when fitting, makes it much easier to clean up the silicone too!

Im looking at getting a Toyota Coaster, would you recommend getting 2 fans? 1 at front and rear? Or is that overkill?

Nice vid. When screwing off (17.18), my holes don't line up even with a fair bit of down pressure. Maybe the rubber has lost it's flexibility. Any ideas?

What sealant did you use?Also what size holes did you pre-drill through the roof for all the screws?

@ALana-wy5ql 3 ай бұрын

They used Soudal Fix All High Tack. There are better sealants out there with better UV resistance (e.g. Fixtech Fix15 and Sika 295 UV)

All good if your roof is flat, what about a roof with ribs or bumps like a lot of bus roofs ?

@OutbackEquipment Жыл бұрын

Hi Ivan, Usually with curved roofs you would need to create a boxed flat area for the fan to sit on. When it's ribbed it's suggested to use a foam seal & silicone to create a water-tight seal. Hope this helps.

@ciccorilla 2 жыл бұрын

Hey fellas, every other install video I’ve seen use butyl tape and a timber brace. Why not you guys?

@OutbackEquipment 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Ciccorilla, we've asked the guys at Southcoast Van and they said that you can do this way, but this is just works for them, we also believe that butyl tape is for vans with ribbed roofs so it really depends on the model of van, hope that helps!

Would these work on a canopy as well?

@outbackflynn 2 жыл бұрын

It depends on the thickness of the metal roof and which version you wish to install, send us an email to our customer service desk to confirm and we can suss it out for you :)

Hi what glue do you guys use?

@OutbackEquipment 2 жыл бұрын

Hi John, there is no glue used in this process, depending on your vehicle you may need to use butyl tape to pad out the lower point of the rib where the fan is installed.
