To connect your MaxxFan Dome Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # MA00-03812B to your Wattfun Power Pack 12v outlet you would just need some 16 gauge wire and would need to splice the wire to the fan and to a 12v male plug. To make it easy you could just cut the female end of the NOCO Extension Cable with 12V Plug - 12' Long # 329-GC019 and splice it to the fan. This would allow you to easily plug into the power pack 12v outlet and only have to make one connection with the wiring.
