This time went with a Maxx Air fan on this van conversion because well let's face it.... It's the best option although it is expensive the other models don't compare. Trust us we have used all of them.

The Fantastic Fan is trash don't waste your time or money with that junk unit.

It's also very important to apply a lot of self-leveling lap sealant around the fan to make sure it's watertight. It's also very important to use butyl tape as well. We have done this process many times and this is the best way to do it. If you follow along with this video you should have zero problems with this installation.
