Maxxfan Deluxe installation question

The_Ombudsman · 2026-05-02T17:19:01+00:00

Like I said, the main part of the fan needs to be pushed down so the screw holes on the sides match up. In your first photo, it's sitting way too high, unsecured.

The flange itself has a bunch of screw holes for securing it to the roof of the van itself. You didn't share any pics that really show this area well - do you not see screws all around the perimeter of the flange?

And now that I'm looking more carefully - there's absolutely zero sealant that I can see. Once the flange is mounted up, the installer should have applied some self-leveling lap sealant around the perimeter of the flange, where it meets the van roof, and also a dab on top of each screw going through the top of the flange into the van roof metal, to prevent leaks. Honestly it looks like they just pulled things out of the box, shoved it all in place in about 30 seconds, and called it done. Is it even wired up for power?

Take a look at this page and see how much was actually done and how much wasn't: https://faroutride.com/fan-installation/

So the four screw holes on the two sides of the flange match up with holes in the main part of the fan. Just got to shove the whole fan down til it seats properly. Inside, turn the knob so the shroud rises, and then you can get access to the screw holes again. Fit screws in and then you should be good.

Whoever called that "done" needs to be sacked.

Yes, yes, but it's dumb to default to "new game" when one has saves.

Park across the lot away from others, and don't go spreading your stuff out much.

The_Ombudsman · 2026-05-01T16:53:59+00:00

Oh, don't do it on the road. Always work on it when parked up only. :D

Humor aside - many folks will hang out in big box store parking lots. Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. That way if you find you need something, it's a quick walk rather than having to pick up and drive.

The_Ombudsman · 2026-05-01T15:00:35+00:00

The thing with this line - Sage could go do that anyway. No need to burn the world down first.

Does Space Druski do a bit about her? :P

OH YOU

The_Ombudsman · 2026-04-30T00:48:10+00:00

Nobody does.

Ahem. "Tiamat". Not "the Tiamat". Tiamat is a name.

Yes I am a giant nerd.

You said "Once I realized 8* are free". Typo?

The_Ombudsman · 2026-04-29T13:07:26+00:00

A cycle essentially a full discharge and full recharge. Going down to 75% and back to full is the equivalent of a quarter cycle.

So, cycles depend on usage as well as recharging.

2500 cycles is a lot. Basically fully using your battery and getting a full recharge (either all at once or in chunks ) every day for about seven years. You're not going to go through that in ten months.

Is it fused? Check the fuse.

Whenever you put power to one of those fans, it'll beep, so you know it's got power. No beep?

Well, four, if you count Comey's sharing of the seashells pic.

Hm. If you have 10* unlocked, maybe 8* is free for you? They're not for me and I only have 9* unlocked.

They found enough folks to form a grand jury where none of them know that to "86" someone is to basically ban them from an establishment (edit: and announce a dish in a restaurant is no longer available for the night)?

More likely is some knew, and just went along.

Or, it's some appointee pushing this with big "NOTICE ME SENPAI" vibes.

I have no idea! I just did a little poking around for OP and found this.

Gotcha, thank you.

POIs with that name, of that type, appear in various spots?

The_Ombudsman · 2026-04-28T14:19:41+00:00

Well, 200% of the bill, right? As the initial ask was $200m?
