RV Vent Fan Replacement Guide | RV Modifications

The removal and installation will require several hours and utilize tools like a caulking gun, putty knife, and electrical connectors. These are in addition to the parts and hardware that come with a MaxxFan Deluxe vent fan kit.

RV Heating System Overview and Troubleshooting
I use a gate value attached to the clear fitting connected to the camper that I keep closed till my tank is 3/4 full then open the valve and let it drain.i also use a water meter so I know when the tank is atleast 3/4 full.
What if you are plugged into shore power znd have a zero volt reading on your meter at the battery connection
Hi Brandon! Is your RV equipped with a battery disconnect switch?
I was told by a professional that you should do a few seconds of gray, then black, then gray to finish. The initial gray allows you to look for leaks without risk of blowing waste water all over the place and it lubricates the line.
What is a king pin?
Great question! The kingpin is located on the fifth wheel itself. It’s mounted to your trailer’s frame and slides into the hitch head to secure your truck-to-trailer connection. You can learn more about fifth wheel hitch parts here: blog.campingworld.com/learn-to-rv/how-to-hook-up-a-fifth-wheel-hitch/ Hope that helps!
Ian, why are we in the bathroom? 😂 great info, my man. And I appreciate how you educate while still having a sense of humor
Thanks so much!
Great information. Great energy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video. Short, precise and to the point. Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
How long of screws ?
Hi There! This is from our written tutorial regarding screw length: "Measure the wall thickness at a door opening and use the longest fastener possible without going all the way through." You can read that entire article here: blog.campingworld.com/learn-to-rv/how-to-mount-a-tv-in-an-rv/ Hope that helps! - Tucker Ballister
So this is supposed to work, 24/7?? What good is it to run when the fridge isn't cooling? More poorly thought out RV garbage...
Thanks for the video! Very helpful. Where do I find my inner tank to purchase? Can't seem to find a good website...
Hi There! I'd recommend contacting your local Camping World to speak to a product specialist. They'll likely need a model number from your water heater to find a compatible replacement. Here's a link to help you find the contact info for the location nearest you: rv.campingworld.com/locations Hope that helps!
DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING FROM CAMPING WORLD
I just feel a 5 gallon pail and dump it down a few few times
You didn’t mention mounts that have a locking feature. Alternatively you can tighten up the swing arm so it does move around when traveling.
Good call, thanks for pointing that out! -Ian Baker
Can you post link of that inner tank ?
Your wasting your time installing that junk Gerard heater I have a new Gulf Stream with one of these junk heaters or I should say warmers. If the incoming aster is cold it will not hear the water above 77 degs. Plus’s it takes about 2 qts of water before I get warm water to my shower or sink !
2 things to check BEFORE you commit to the site. Power supply for 30/50 Amp working? Water and good flow from the spigot? It save the trouble of having to move to another working location after you have dropped your rig especially if its a towable. ?
Great tips, thank you for bringing this up! -Ian Baker
bonjour,Like- beautiful travel,peace out~ 😉
Many thanks!
Opens and closes like new
Thank you for your informative video! I appreciate your expertise and calm manner in your video. I plan on putting the camera on the middle running light. I also have an old class c, Tioga as a matter of fact. She's a good rig.
Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Your a hero
You guys did a great job not showing how to disassemble the crank assembly. Dip 💩
Friend of mine has a momentum toy hauler and he claims that when he goes camping, it comes on little while then he hast to reset it he thinks that the heater is too small for the elevation, and overwork itself ideals ?
What about dumping some ice in after you dump the tank so the ice will move around and clean it on the way home? Thanks
Doesn't work. Get a tank flusher and back fill a few times
Hey Jerry! I'd recommend tank treatments or a tank wand for cleaning over that method! Here's a couple links to those products if you're curious: www.campingworld.com/maintain-rv/sewer/sewer-chemicals www.campingworld.com/flexible-tank-wand-14497.html Hope that helps! - Tucker Ballister

You forgot the pooper :)
What is the part number for-the RV vent i have a 2008 Jayflight G2 25RKS Travel Trailer
I’m having trouble with the 2 min mark
😂 I love they chop saw and propane tanks next to each other
I heard use white lithium grease. I also heard it can damage certain valves that are made of certain materials, not all valves, though due to it being petroleum-based. Any suggestions appreciated. Happy Easter Season 🐣 🪻 🐤
What about the yellow wire?
2013 outback 301bq thermostat keeps blowing the fuse in the thermostat, do you know the reason?
I jusy got charged 300 bucks to replaced one
Great video guys!
Thanks so much!
Proper PPE is the very first step when dealing with BioHazards. Gloves, and all mucus membrane areas should be covered. So eyes, mouth and nose. Then get after it like a pig in poo!
HI, I have just put a brand new Gen 3 system in mine, it worked perfectly for a 3 weeks, not when I set a temp it rises and wont sit at the designated tempm for example, if I set the temp at 35 C, it will rise until it get to 43 degrees C (celsius). I have checked filter,s leaks etc and everything seems to be fine. Any ideas?
Ducks quack quack
I would get rid of the marker light and put the camera there instead one less hole to make. You have 2 other marker lights then seal with calk.the power is from the marker lights anyway. I did that to my coleman. It looks like i tapped into a already wired connection like the furion pre wired factory install. No one knows the difference that i have one less marker light. But what ever floats your boat.
Great video. Thank you so much. This inspires me to get the right tools and maintain my RV furnace.
Yeah let all that water drip inside the Rv and start warping the floor and mdf all around there. Also didn’t relieve the pressure before draining. Also didn’t use a back up wrench when loosening the water lines. They get a grade of F
He forgot to put the earth wire back
10-24-23. Fine job. Came out easier then mine.
What a 🎪 😂
solid instructional
should i be concerned about it getting too hot in the summer if i have the black box? i will be running lithium batteries. Just wondering if i should fans on the box to ventilate?
The tanks don't have to be empty before you do this. Just drill the hole and put the screw in. You can lube it later and anytime thereafter.
I think you forgot to reconnect your ground wire.
This is the EXACT video we were looking for! Thank you for having such clear instructions and video work! We're trying to install a backup camera on our vintage RV and we kept finding videos on RV with old ones already installed, so it was so helpful to see it done on a camper without one on it! We're super confident with installing it now! And thanks for all the little tips/hacks throughout the video!
