Low-Profile MaxxFan Roof Vent Options For A Converted 2013 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van  

Published 05/11/2022



Question:

I’m converting a Ford Transit Connect Cargo van for camping. I’m looking for a low profile manual fan with rain guard and reverse speeds. Don’t need 10 speeds or thermostat. Something between MAOO-05301k and MAOO-05100K in white.

Expert Reply:

In order to get the features you want (rain guard, reversible fan) you'll have to go with a fan like the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # MA00-05100K or # MA00-05301K that you mentioned.

These fans that have the options you want, come standard with a 10 speed fan, and a thermostat.

If you really didn't want the 10 speed fan however, we also have the MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # MA00-04002K.

This is a 4 speed fan that is also reversible with a manual lift, however, it does come standard with a thermostat and there is no rain guard.

This fan also has a seamless low profile design, like you mentioned you wanted, and comes with a bug screen to keep insects out and your fan clean.

How Long Could 100 Amp Hour Battery Power 5 Amp Roof Vent

Since the fan draws 5 amps that would mean that a 100 amp hour battery could power it for 20 hours. So 8 hours wouldn't be a problem at all. Basically you take the amp hours of the battery and divide it by the power draw of the accessory.
