- I install my new MaxxAir Vent/Fan combo on the roof of our brand new 7X16 Cargo Express Enclosed trailer. This is continuing the series for this toy hauler conversion project. I was extremely nervous about this, but no worries! Make sure you have everything you need before starting this project and you'll be just fine.
Good luck! Take care.

Probably should have tested it before installing it, but nice work otherwise.
Great point, that would’ve sucked if it didn’t work. Thank you for the advice and for watching!
Thank you for the tip with the ladder and Jack inside to hold up boards to screw into.
I’m glad my hillbilly engineering worked for you! I’m the kind of person that’ll suffer before asking for help. Just had to stare at the garage tools and think for a second. Thanks for watching, I hope the video was useful for you! Take care
@@JBOutdoors sure did work, thank you.
I just installed ny roof vent after watching your video, thanks for the help. I drilled holes through the metal cross bracing and screwed the wood to them. Nice and strong
Glad the video helped! I ended up doing the same with some brackets to firm it all up. I wish I documented how I did the wiring but I did all that off camera since I’m no professional. I’m considering putting one more vent in towards the back of the trailer now. Thanks for watching!
I finished installing my roof vent on my 7x16 cargo trailer conversion about two hours ago. I agree it feels great to have it done. And the anticipation was worse than the actual job. Very happy with how mine turned out too.
THanks for the video. The fact that fit so well with drilling the corners through the wood and sheet metal was incredibly tight! Nice work!
Very helpful, I'm doing the exact same thing plus a solar panel.
I’m hoping to do a solar panel this year. The controller/inverter and charger is what I really need to do research on first. Will do a tour of our current set up soon! Thanks for watching!
Good video Justin, I also have a new trailer than needs a roof fan/vent, to cold now up here in Canada so will give me time to watch install videos. Glad you used the proper install tape as some guys use super p/l type caulking and if it fails, they will never get it off.
Thank you for watching and for the comment! I did my research prior to installing as it pained me to cut into a brand new trailer. After close to 6 months of use, Michigan weather changes and temperature swings, there’s no signs of leaks. I feel comfortable after doing it once, but as said in the video, take your time and you’ll be fine! Thanks again
Looks good. Great step by step. I am hesitant to cut that hole in my roof but this may have convinced me that it is not too tough of a job. Thx.
Trust me that was tough to make that first hole and cut. I don’t blame you at all. Luckily it all went really smooth and was a boost in my confidence once it was all done. Hopefully it helps for the better for you and your project. Thanks for watching! Take care
This is just what I was looking for! Great job and thanks!
Nice. Thanks for making this video.
Hey friend!👋 found your channel and looks like you have a bunch of useful info. Hope you upload another one real soon!☝️🇺🇲
I have visited your youtube channel your video content is very nice,
Hey I never saw how you did the electrical? We are stuck on it?
I need to do an update video, At the time I did this video, I didn't have anything ready for the electrical, but I've since added an on board 12v 125 amp/hr battery and wired a switch panel to it. One of the switches turns the whole panel on, two switches for lights and one switch for the roof fan. Thank you and sorry for the delay in my response!
You’re going to, our already have run into a problem. Your insert trim piece is going to hit the roof cross brace. The fan should’ve been mounted further away from the roof brace. You could just cut that side completely off the insert. And use the other three sides to mount it.
I think I got lucky and there was enough space for it with a 1/4 inch to spare. I wanted it mounted to something solid without reframing the room. I just finished the ceiling in Eastern red cedar, turned out amazing! Thanks for watching
@@JBOutdoors Ok gotcha. I just installed two and thought it was going to be a issue. Good install.
One more comment, it would be nice if these fans came with a template for cutting the hole.
Absolutely, some of the videos I watched showed different brands of vents that came with that template outlined on the original package that’s a brilliant idea, I was bummed this known brand didn’t offer it.
what do you think about where you put it? as far as air flow. would you put it farther forward in the trailer or farther to the back? or do you think it's good where it's at?
This was something I thought long and hard about. I like my location with future plans to add a 2nd one proportionally correct further back in the trailer. The second might just be a vent, but will be directly above where our bed is now. Thank you for watching and commenting! I hope this video helped
It’s called beautie
Did this install void any sort of warranty on your brand new trailer?
Hello, my trailer is a 2023 model I purchased late 2022 with only a 6 month warranty included. I waited until this warranty was up before cutting any holes. I'm extremely happy with the roof fan! I need to make an update video of the build. Thank you for commenting, sorry for the delay!
Hi friend, do you still have the barnett droptine crossbow, can you sell it?
I gave it to my father in law, sorry!
@@JBOutdoors Let's try to close the deal, check with your father-in-law if he agrees to sell, I pay a good price, even a little above the current price of a new one as it is very difficult to find to buy
@@thiagoct6803 sorry, it’s not for sale it was a gift to him and he uses it since he can no longer use a compound bow.
@@JBOutdoors Can you sell it to me for a good price and buy a new one, more current from barnett, I've been looking for this crossbow for 2 years, but it's hard to find, I pay up to 450 usd, with that amount you can buy a current barnett for your father-in-law
but if you don't accept no problem
I know it’s been a year but any updates? I plan on doing something similar to my 16x7
I’ve made progress but haven’t documented. When the weather breaks, I’ll make an update video! Thanks for watching
@@JBOutdoors if that’s the case, you sir have won another subscriber 👍🏽. I’m looking at that exact fan and just wondering how you wired it and how well it circulates the air.
Plus any other ideas I can steal for my conversion 😁
@@PelonDeArizona it moves enough air it will put a vacuum on the trailer if you don’t have windows in it or the door open some. I’ve since put 3 windows in mine and like to keep each of them about half open when I have the fan on to create a nice breeze when there’s no wind. The wiring would be better described in a video, I’m happy to share! Thanks again I appreciate the support! Work gets busy and projects go to the wayside
