\"\"<\/a>Looking good !!!<\/p>\n

Very pleased with the results. Much more useful than AC for us.<\/p>\n

The fan I used is a 10 speed MAXXFAN #7500K. That model has the built-in rain shroud. <\/p>\n

It was nice that the original AC install did not need sealing tape. Once the AC was removed the top of the roof was clean. No residue that required scraping.<\/p>\n

To close gap between frame and aluminum roof I applied exterior grade construction cement and left it clamped for a couple of days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The usual overdoing with reference to the number of clamps used, but I didn’t want any bubbles, <\/p>\n

To make sure that the clamps didn’t leave any marks on the inside ceiling I applied painters tape around the opening and also used wood, top and bottom.<\/p>\n

Ceiling stayed clean and without marks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The resulting opening:<\/p>\n

Instruction from MaxxFan were straight forward. All hardware was supplied. Only thing(s) I had to buy extra was the sealing tape and the smoothing sealant.<\/p>\n

One variation, compared to a regular install, was the use of the existing 110 Volt wiring. I looked into fishing a wire from the rear ceiling light but that was a now go due to the cross-members being tight to ceiling and roof.<\/p>\n

I chopped the 110 in about the middle. The half with 110 power will terminate at an additional outlet below the bench. The non-powered end was connected to 12 Volts and viola… the MaxxFan had power.<\/p>\n

Controls are easy to see and use. There is also a remote control. <\/p>\n
