This weekend we installed a Maxx Air fan the one we can leave open in the rain and has a thermostat.
It took a lot of time to get the roof vent putty off that the factory put on there. Other than taking longer than expected, the install was pretty strait forward. I was using a plastic putty knife for the most part and a metal one to pry up the actual vent. The butal tape really had it stuck on.
Is there an easier way to get that old stuff off of the roof?
We ordered the trailer wired and had the factory do the supports for a roof mount ac. We have decided on a Coleman Mach 3 ac but have not odered it yet. I wanted to see how the vent fan install went before deciding if I would install the ac myself. I’ve decided to bribe a friend with a cookout to help get the ac on the roof.
Hankaye, from what I’m seeing pplmotorhomes.com has some good prices. I think we are going to order from them. Thanks for the link.
I have a question about rv ac. Most of the ceiling units for non-ducted don’t have thermostats that we can set a temp on. They have a knob that goes from hot to cold. I’ve read that they run the fan all of the time to keep the air circulating. Is this really needed? I would rather have a wall thermostat that will turn the fan off when it isn’t running the compressor. Pplmotorhimes.com has the parts listed for a non-ducted install with thermostat. This will be my first rv ac. So, what did you do for controls on your roof mount ac?
Thanks for everyone’s help!
I’ll get some pictures posted in a couple days.
