    Two MaxAir Fans Amp/Wiring& Portable Power station Questions

    There's not a 30 amp Anderson plug output as this is not a Yeti. It's too late now, I already have two fans installed. I don't want to have to have a window open for safety reasons.

    Two MaxAir Fans Amp/Wiring& Portable Power station Questions

    Okay, I'm new to all this electrical stuff so please bear with me. . . I have two MaxAir fans installed in my roof. I have a 400 wh lithium portable power station. It has one 5 amp dc port and one 10 amp dc port. At the moment I have individual plugs on each of the two fans that plug into the 5...

    So many questions. . ..

    Getting ready to insulate my GMC van and my brain is full of everything I've been reading, watching, measuring, etc. A few questions. 1. Polyiso is recommended over the pink Owen corning Foamular, correct? Is that just for the Rvalue? On the 1/2" it looks like the Foamular is R3 and the Polyiso...

    Maxxair Fan Install Question

    Hurray! Props to Mike Thompson's RV Super Center in Colton, CA for carrying both the beige butyl tape and the Dicor lap sealant. You all have no idea how many phone calls I had to make to find this stuff. Crazy. Thanks for the help.

    Maxxair Fan Install Question

    Okay, I found a Home Depot in LA that has the 3M 5200. With it being "very permanent" it is a little concerning though should the fan ever stop working and I need to replace it. Still looking for the Butyl tape. The marine stores I've called so far haven't carried it. I'll keep looking.

    Maxxair Fan Install Question

    Any suggestions on which sealant to go with that Lowes or Home Depot carries or another place to get the stuff you all recommended? Fiberine said they would use silicone sealant to do the fans, which is why I originally asked the question here. I had asked Fiberine if they used Butyl tape and...

    Maxxair Fan Install Question

    I'm hoping someone can help me out here- I'm on my way now to Fiberine for my appt. on Wed. and I'm not finding any of the exact products recommended at Lowes or Home Depot. Lowes had Camper Seal foam tape but not Butyl. Is it the same stuff? They didn't have any of the sealants you all...

    Okay, no silicone, but why? What is the problem with it?

    Maxxair Fan Install Question

    I've noticed some people use Butyl tape plus silicone sealant and others use sealant only. Any advantages or disadvantages in the two? Also what silicone sealant do you recommend? Thanks in advance

    Sound like a good deal?

    Riverman, you were absolutely right. I just called and he sold it already this morning!

    Sound like a good deal?

    I haven't been in a huge hurry either. I've actually been looking regularly for over a year within 500 miles of my city. I'm only interested in either a Chevy or GMC and I'd like a 2010 or newer with preferably under 100k miles. I'm okay spending up to $16k in order to get these things. Over the...

    Sound like a good deal?

    This van is listed at $13,775 and meets my checklist of the basic things I want but when it comes to the engine info, I'm lost. In the photos it looks like it could need new tires before long. Does this sound like a decent deal to you guys?  It's about 3 hours from me and I'm wondering, how do I...

    1500 vs 2500

    Could someone explain in non mechanical terms what I would experience as the difference between a Chevy or GMC 1500 vs. 2500 cargo van? I had been looking for a 2500, just figuring I'd pick in the one in middle :rolleyes:  but someone asked me why I didn't just get a 1500 and I couldn't really...
