Installing a MaxxFan Deluxe into the Roof! | Transit Van Conversion E08

It's time to install our Maxxfan Deluxe into the roof of our Ford Transit! That means cutting a big hole in it for the first time, too! We were a little nervous, but it's a right of passage for anyone building a van conversion... and a good warm up for the window install later! We spent a lot of time researching how to install a maxxfan, so were pretty confident. We first made a frame for our maxxfan deluxe out of 4 pieces of timber, planed on one edge to make it easier to assemble, then pocket holed together. After that we just needed to wait for some decent weather to actually get up onto the roof. Because of the nature of it, we needed to do it all in one go and not have a big open skylight! After a couple of test cuts (as it was our first time ever using a jigsaw), we cut the hole! It wasn't that bad and actually cut really easily. The harder part was pre-drilling all the screw holes as our terrible drill bits kept snapping on us (since replaced!). That meant losing a lot of time so we lost all the light and were finishing in the dark. Not ideal as it was so cold and slippery on the roof, but we got it finished! The following morning, all that was left was to clean the roof and test it out, pretty happy with it! Our maxxfan install went and we can't wait to use it on the road when we've finished our van conversion! Thanks for watching!
