MaxxFan 4500K Installation

[Cate&Rob]

Rob, the wall mount box awning like on the back of Momentums would work as you describe. They have support arms if you want to deploy them or not if you don't need them. I added one to my living room slide. One of the best mods I've done.

Hi Jim,

This sounds like exactly what we are looking for. Do you have brand and maybe even model number?

Hi Justa5th,

The model you chose was top of our list until we realized that it blocked all light either open or closed. We went with the MaxxFan 4500K to get full daylight when open.

Rob

I agree that is one of the drawbacks. I think whatever Maxxair fan is chosen you can’t go wrong with the quality.

Here ya go Rob,

"Carefree Freedom wall mount box awning"

They have manual or electric. I went with the manual. They are proud of them, mine was about $900(ish) for 8Ft.(ish) at a Carefree dealer.

BTW Rob, if you want maximum air intake via your Maxxfan's, have General RV in Jacksonville install your Maxxfan cover's. Why?? Because their tech will install the covers in the opposite direction than what the instructions call for. That's right, we ended up with a "hood scoop" until I noticed the covers were installed in the wrong direction and they corrected it.

But man-o-man....the air coming into the RV at 70mph was impressive!! LMAO........

Rob periodically put some slide seal lube on the rubber seal of the vent. They tend to stick when closed for long periods of time and the motor really works to break the lid loose. Link for the lube below. As far as getting the old vent/fan off the roof I found that a flick of the wrist toward the nearest trash can to work pretty well. Oh, and your roof is really dirty.

HI Rob,
I've had the same awning that Jim's link points to for 20 years on my camper and it has held up extremely well. The arms are quite sturdy and survived 55-65 kph winds without any damage.

HTH,

Just FYI Pics of awning.




(I don't have a picture with the legs deployed)

Jim

Do the legs have to be deployed? Or can it be used like you have in the picture?

Brian

They do not have to be deployed. I think I have only used them once when it was a bit windy.

Hello,
When using the legs they can be adjusted for different lengths so if it's raining you can select which side the water runs off.

HTH,
Kevin
