Will The Remote Activate Two MaxxAir MaxxFans At The Same Time

Question:

I plan to install 2 Maxxair Deluxe fans on a 148 inch Ford Transit van. Will it be possible to control each fan separately with its remote or will there be a conflict i.e. both fans responding at the same time to the signal of one remote?

Depending on the amount of space between the two MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, Thermostat, and Remote - Powered Lift - 10 Speed - Smoke # MA00-07500K you could potentially have both fans react to the remote. The remote sends out an infrared signal to the sensor in the fan, just like how your tv remote sends a signal to your tv. The only way to prevent both fans from reacting would to have the spaced away from each other and using the remote close to the specific fan you're trying to control. If you have a wall between the two, i.e. one fan in the living room and one a bedroom, then you wouldn't have any issues.
