Setup and Installation
Installation of the Maxxfan Deluxe requires careful attention to sealing and electrical connections. It is recommended that installation be performed by individuals with appropriate DIY skills or a professional RV technician.
Pre-Installation Checklist:
- Ensure the RV's power source (shore power, batteries) is disconnected before beginning any electrical work.

Installation Steps (Summary):
- Carefully remove the existing vent and clean any remaining sealant from the roof opening.
- Apply Butyl rubber tape to the underside of the Maxxfan's mounting flange.
- Position the Maxxfan base into the opening, ensuring proper alignment. Secure it with screws, utilizing existing holes where possible.
- Apply self-leveling sealant around the perimeter of the fan's flange on the roof for a watertight seal.

- Install the interior trim frame, cutting to fit if necessary, and secure it.
- Attach the fan assembly to the base, ensuring the four retaining knobs are rotated to secure the insect screen.
Note: The Maxxfan Deluxe does not require an additional vent cover due to its integrated rain shield design.
