Installation of MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent on V-Nose Cargo Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a 5x10 cargo trailer with v-front and the front triangle part of the roof has a small downward slope. Its no different than any other wedge front trailer you all would have seen that as the forward triangular part of the roof tipped downward this is a Pace Journey SE trailer. The rest of the roof will be covered with solar panels. Does the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat - Manual Lift - 10 Speed - Smoke Item # MA00-06200K have to be mounted on a perfectly horizontal surface or could it be mounted on this forward part of the roof with slight downward slope? The installation would otherwise be exactly as they direct in the instructions, which I have reviewed. I will be reinforcing the structure under the roof to facilitate the fan mounting. Thanks for any advice.

The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat, # MA00-06200K requires a flat surface and opening size of 14"x14" but does not require being on a surface that is perfectly horizontal to the road. This fan fits roofs 1-1/8" to 6-1/2" thick and the garnish that comes with this model is 16-3/8" x 16-3/8". So yes you can install in the manner you describe, the only thing to be aware of is that by installing in this manner you may increase the risk of water leaking in due to an alteration from the typical mounting and how it is designed and tested to operate.

The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat item #MA00-06200K uses up to 5-Amps to operate when running and up to 9-Amps for startup. So probably between 90 - 100 hours if it was the only thing running and you left it on.

You are right that the #MA00-06200K and the #MA00-07500K are very similar vent fans as far as most of the internal components. The main difference is that the 7500K uses a remote and has a powered lift. The 6200K is manual control and manual lift.…

Yes the Derale transmission cooler part #D13403 would do an excellent job keeping the transmission fluid of your 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500 cool. This is the most efficient style of cooler and it's also larger so it would easily work really well…
