MaxxAirFan Installation to Independent Car Battery
Question:
Hi! Im building out a Ram Promaster and equipping it with a solar setup. I have installed the MaxxAir Fan physically but i dont know how to attach the wires to a power source. My solar system is independent of my car battery. Can i simply crimp rings on the end of the fan wires and attach them directly to my battery? Do i need a fuse? Thank you so much for your help.

Your MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # MA00-05100K will require a minimum of 5 amp service. I recommend installing a 15A inline fuse or 20 amp circuit breaker like # PK54220 to protect your fan components. The manual doesn't state anything about this setup, so it is simply my recommendation as precautionary. You can use # 16-1-1 wire and ring terminal # DW05737-1. I recommend butt connector # DW05744-5 to connect to fan power leads.
