  • We are a family of 4 who loves to travel. In 2019, we bought a 30 ft. travel trailer and decided to make our dreams happen by getting out on the road. Since then, we have upgraded to a 39' Fifth Wheel Mid-Bunkhouse and a 2018 Ford F-350 Diesel and are loving the upgrade for our family. We have always LOVED traveling and now seeing our world on the road has given us opportunities to see and make more memories as a family. We are teachers and are blessed to have the same "vacation" schedule, so we make the most of it with our kids by being both weekend warriors and "school schedule" traveling--We call ourselves part-timers. We hope to share what we learn while exploring this beautiful world around us and inspire you to get out and see it, too.

    Thank you!!! I was going to order a new fan and I know what a pain it is to pull all the caulk! You just saved me a bunch of work and I greatly appreciate that!!!!

    Thanks for the vid! Repaired mine with the same part, but my fan was bit older and a spring mechanism on the arm attached to the lifter. I just took the spring off and mounted to new piece as there is a hole to bolt it in the same spot. Works great.

    Many thanks for this video! Not only did you identify the needed part, but your instructions were so much more clear than those provided by MaxxAir. Fan is fixed, my wife is happy and life is good!

    I have electric fan in the living room and a manual one in the bathroom, the knob that makes the lid open on the interior keeps spinning and won’t lift a cover anymore or close it

      Yep, cheap parts is correct but at least it’s an easy fix. Best of luck and thanks for checking out the video ~Wilson & Kelli

    I am so happy to find this great video. I have the Maxxair with the manual knob inside, but I think that the part you replaced is (hopefully) the same as the one you used. Thanks so much!

    Can you use the fan, when you have rv ac going? Seems you are pumping cool air out? It’s just freaking hot out, don’t think pulling hot air isn’t the ticket.? Brian

    • @OnTheMewve
      @OnTheMewve  2 месяца назад +1

      So we will use ours to pull out air out when we arrive somewhere. Turn the air on, cold air falls toward the floor, and turn the fan on until the hot air, which rises, has been pulled out of the camper. If you let it run too long though, it will begin to pull the cold air out. You just have to balance it so you don't let too much cold air out. I hope this helps ~Wilson

    Hey man thanks for the video. What type of sealan did you use around your fan. It looks good and strong, never seen that kind before

    • @OnTheMewve
      @OnTheMewve  Год назад

      Glad it could help you out! I always use dicor self leveling on anything on the roof except on the very edge. amzn.to/447DgTu is a link to the sealant if you need it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! ~Wilson

  • @kathleengustafson6753

    You might have diagnosed our problem. When the fan opens and closes, it goes all the way up and all the way down, but the motor keeps going as if it hasn't sensed that the lid is completely open or closed. It goes, "Clunk, clunk, clunk x 10" until it finally stops. All the while the black knob in the inside keeps going around and around until the clunking stops. I wonder if one of those left arms has slipped out or that piece is broken? Time to get out the ladder!

    • @OnTheMewve
      @OnTheMewve  2 года назад +1

      Probably the mechanism, like ours. It just slips and slips and turns and turns. You’ll see the cracks in the plastic if that’s the issue. I hope this helps and good luck! ~Wilson

      @kathleengustafson6753 2 года назад +1

      @@OnTheMewve Spot on! That's exactly what was going on. I'll be ordering the part today. On top of that, we have to pull the fuse every time we want to use it. As nice as it is, it is definitely aggravating.

    After replacing the mechanism for the max air fan, my lid won't close all the way down. the piece will only fit one way and I'm stumped as to why it won't close. Any suggestions? My part looks just like yours. I have a 2019 Jayco Pinnacle 5th wheel.

    • @DavidTidmore-c7e
      @DavidTidmore-c7e Год назад +1

      found the problem!!! make sure the mechanical lift is in the complete closed position by turn in the gear counterclockwise. this makes the arms in the down position and will allow the vent to completely close.

    • @OnTheMewve
      @OnTheMewve  Год назад

      Yes, glad you figured it out. I had to make the same adjustment. Thanks for watching and commenting! ~Wilson
