You did an amazing job, you make us women proud!
Aw thanks. I’m definitely learning as I go and trying to tackle as much as possible on my own :-)
I just woke up at 3 in the morning thinking about my fan install that Im doing soon and wiring to my jackery...and your video serendipitously popped up on my phone. Thank you!
Yay! Good luck with yours. It was SO easy.
Thank you!!! I used your video to wire my Maxxair fan! I am so excited!! Next, to install shore power plug! you are amazing!
That makes me so happy!!!! Thank you for sharing ♥️. Let me know how the plug goes :-)
Great job! I bet there is a lot of satisfaction every time you complete one of these projects. You should be really proud of yourself!
I wanted to let you know I just connected my maxair to my jackery using your video after entirely frying my first one (luckily I bought a warranty) thank you so much from someone who has no idea what I’m doing 🖤 so easy to follow and clear instructions thank you so much
Good job. My logic would have told me to match the black wires together. I have never done this either. Brave girl! I have learned to do lots of research on CZcams. Thanks for showing us how easy this is. Stay cool!😊
Thank you 😊 I give the credit to the pep talk and instructions from my nephew lol. In the end the process was so incredibly simple that I worried for nothing, but I’ll chalk it up to never having been exposed to it. You can’t know what you’ve never learned right?!
Great job! Having that fan will make a world of difference in your van.
Now I know who to call if I have trouble with my Max Fan.😁
😂😂 well I’ve found we could CZcams just about anything we need to know.
Your video was very helpful for me. I have two Maxx Air fans that have been installed for months, but I haven't been able to use them because I don't have my van wired with electricity, yet. I just have two Jackery power stations, that are charged with an extension cord at times. I'm intimidated with doing certain parts of my van build. But I can handle imitating what you did to get 12-volt power to the fan. I will be so much more comfortable being able to use the fans. Thanks so much for your helpful video!
Thank you for tuning in and commenting:-). I’m definitely no pro lol but I know I can’t be the only one of us out here looking for help in CZcams land. If you end up doing this, please let me know how it goes :-). Best of luck!
@@TinyTexanAdventures Thanks!
I have a truck camper and was way over-complicating planning the wiring-thank you for this! Great job, and it really is nice to see that it doesn’t have to be crazy complicated. Happy trails!
Thanks for watching and commenting:-). I’m so glad you found it helpful:-)
Thank you queen!!!! I have no idea what I’m doing and this looks totally manageable thank you so much for explaining in great detail, very easy to follow ❤
Aw thanks for watching and for the positive feedback! Have you tried this project yet?
Good to see you keep challenging yourself and making your dreams a reality. 👍🏼
Thank you 😊 I’m grateful to the encouraging people in my life who nudge me into the areas that seemed uncomfortable but ended up being empowering:-)
Thank you for sharing your incremental and small steps, it makes it easier to imagine doing something like this on my own, like you. Anyway, glad you have a fan and windows for some ventilation!! I just started watching your channel, but I'm really digging it, and excited to see your new journey, as well as go back through your old videos! Safe and happy travels to you!!
Aw thanks for watching, subbing, and commenting ♥️. Yes, while I obviously wouldn’t want to stay in hot temps, it sure has made a difference in the moderate temps of the season right now. Best of luck if you decide to go this route ♥️
Someone mentioned getting rain guards for the front windows so you can get a cross circulation going even if its only open a smidge... ❤❤
That’s a good idea too. I’m hoping for a/c by next summer, but I’ll be heading to cooler temps for the hottest parts this year. :-).
I bet that fan helped bunches!! lol Good job !
I guess that’s why my wife says that’s your job ! 😬lol . Thanks for sharing Christi .👍
lol thanks 😊 Oh my goodness the fan sure does make a huge difference! Thankful my nephew suggested this option!!!!
That was very entertaining to watch and I feel like I could do that one day!
Well I figured if I don’t edit out the real life stuff it might actually help someone 😊
Love watching your progress with the van. I think I want to find a Ford Transit connect wagon to start working on. Probably going to copy the Freebird offered by Caravan Outfitter somewhat for weekend trips to TX state parks in the cooler month, further nort during the cooler months and vacation time in the summer. I believe it will accommodate my 6' 4" self just barely. Please keep these awesom videos coming!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting:-). Best of luck with your Transit :-). Keep me posted please.
Hi , I just watched the lady in candana she is in a tiny house, she said you showed her how to hook her fan up. Thanks.
Thank you for watching 😊. Adelina was so kind to share my channel ❤️
@@TinyTexanAdventures I want to put a fan in my tiny house. I won’t put it in the ceiling, I am going to put it in my kitchen. Or bathroom. Thank you for sharing that.
That’s how I got her, too. 😍
@cricketwise6527 aww ☺️ Adelina was very kind to give the channel shout out ♥️
Great video! I have a Ford Transit with windows that do not opened up! I will be putting 2 maxx fans in. Thanks for the link!
Great idea! That will definitely help with airflow :-)
The fan only pulls 7 watts!!! I'm tempted to have one put in!
OK, FYI I just did a test for you because realized I tested it on the lowest fan setting. So I turned it all the way up to the highest fan which on mine is a number five (which I doubt I’ll ever have it set on)but even at the highest setting, it ran at 37W, the in between obviously was from 7 to 37 on the other 4 settings.
Hi Christi. I'm so glad you made this video. I tried this exact project 3 years ago and couldn't make it work. NOW I know it's because I did black wire to black wire. I got discouraged, moved in to the next project and kind of forgot about it 😁. Never occurred to me positive would be different on the two wires 🤔🤓🙄. Now I can try it again. Thanks you!!
Ha. The black on black wire absolutely made sense to me but I called in phone support just to make sure lol. Hope you get yours done now :-)
Perfect! Thank you!
:-). Hope it helps, thanks for watching.
YAY 😂🎉🎉🎉 you did it! Excellent job ... wooohoo go get em girl... LOL i just ordered the same 14 ft cord to run my DC roof fan off a ciggy lighter spot too... i really thank you so much for sharing... i had a few stuffed shirts tell me it wasnt gonna work - id set my van on fire or blow out my jackery...total jerks but i also hsd a couple people say "...just try it.. " so i ordered the products and am very much looking forward to having a fan in my roof... i still need to find someone who has experience cutting the hole etc.. but thrilled it will work for us all... happy trails my dear
Thank you and thanks for tuning in :-). This was definitely a project that I was dreading but I was sooo much easier than I thought :-). Good luck to you!!
I needed this so!!!!❤
Thank you!!!
Yay! I’m so glad 😃 Thanks for tuning in :-)
:) WELL DONE and THANKS MUCH for sharing! ALL the BEST and Cheers :)
Thanks for watching and commenting ♥️
That was awsome!! Good for you.
It wasn’t even close to being as hard as I imagined lol 😂
Great job!
Thank you 😊 So much easier than I thought it would be:-)
Great job!!!!
Thank you! 😊
Winner winner chicken dinner!
lol yep. Learning as I go!!
That's awesome give me hope 😀 😊
I’m so glad! I had no idea it would be that easy :-)
Oh! I put a Maxxair fan in my motorhome, but had no wiring to connect it to.
A vanner friend did that to his.
Now I know how. Easy peasy!
Thanks!!
I'd like to put a Maxxair fan in my van, but it has dual ac built into the roof. That's more important to me for my cats & dogs in travel.
Yes! Easy peasy is right! Oh nice on the van a/c! Hoping to have that by next summer (ish).
@@TinyTexanAdventuresOh, the dual air is factory on the van, only to use along with the dash air. Can't be used for camping.
I did order a portable ac unit that's supposed to arrive on Tuesday. I'm excited about it! It's on the smaller side compared to some that are big. It's 8500 btu. So when camping with power, I will be able to use it!
I've read that anything below 8000 btu on portable ac's just won't cool well. Which I believe because I have a 5000 btu & it's bulky & doesn't do the job in my small motorhome.
@TexCynRVLife oh I see! So please let me know what you end up with on your portable and what you think!!!
@@TinyTexanAdventuresWill do!
Informative video.😊
YAY!
♥️😊. I was so glad it worked!
Awesome. Thats exactly what I did to my max fan. Only regret is I should have added 2 fans. I do have the 2 windows by my bed. My question is how did you install your curtains? Which rod did you use. I watched your videos but can’t find where you installed curtain rods. Thanks
Thank you. :-). I only put one fan because I’m hoping to add a 12volt a/c in a year or so that will go over my bed. The curtain rods are just held up by the bigger magnetic hooks linked in the no build video. The back one is also zip tied in the center. Thanks for asking, I will do my best to show the set up in one of my upcoming videos :-)
@@TinyTexanAdventures I’m also in TX and that was my thought also is putting an AC in. With our heat AC would be so miserable
I am getting ready to have my maxxfan installed in the roof. Glad I found this as I want to make my electrical easy. Do you know if there if a strip pf 2 or 3 of 12v female connector sockets that I could then attach a 12v male plug to so several go into my power bank? want my maxxfan and 12v lights to run of my power bank
What size Jackery do you use?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
lol thank you 😊
I also had another hair-brained idea... i use alot of ryobi pieces/power packs and was wondering if i could wire one of the 2-way charger staions from ryobi and use the piwer packs to run the maxx fan from... more complicated and my family doesnt have an electrician to ask yet... lol isnt it exciting to be be part gypsy?? 😂
lol. Well I have no idea on that one, but I’ll bet if it’s possible there’s a CZcams video somewhere! lol yep gypsy life is always interesting ♥️
Just remember, if you have not taken a course in electronics.... do what works for you. Your end result was just fine, so you must have done it right.
Thanks for watching and commenting 😊. It works and I’m calling it a victory lol. My nephew was helpful with his instructions for sure :-)
