How'd you go with the install Teanncoffee?

@@thesaladtable4446 Fine! We chose to instal on cutting board so we could move it around.

Awesome install vid mate! 👌🏽

[@thesaladtable4446]

Thanks (awesome name) 🙂

Thanks for this Dennis. I do not have the skills to go through the wall in my van and access the power supply so decided to attach the fan wires to the wires of a cigarette 12 v plug. would I need a special connection between the two connecting wires?

[@vanontheback4419]

Hi Bron, no problems in hooking up to a cigarette lighter plug. It’s very simple to attach you fan wiring to a male cig plug which you can plug in whenever you need. 😁

@@vanontheback4419 thank you do I just twist the connecting wires together?

[@vanontheback4419]

@@MsNZgal use crimp connectors or get someone to solder together. 👍

Thanks mate! Good vid. How do you get the cover back on your radio I can’t get mine back on?

[@vanontheback4419]

Hey Damien, it was a bit of a pain as it kept pushing past flush. A bit of tinkering and after sealing again with silastic it’s like new

[@adamjamesgee8612]

The backing plate has keyhole shaped slots that the unit fits into and slides down to alight the final two mounting screws. Which I cannot get to slide once the backing plate is screwed into the wall.

[@vanontheback4419]

Did you back off the screws a bit to allow for a little movement in case the screws weren't aligned perfectly?

[@adamjamesgee8612]

@@vanontheback4419 No, and thanks for the tip, obvious now you mention it.

[@debbiesmith7385]

Could you convert this to a plug in somehow. What would you use?

[@thesaladtable4446]

I've seen others use a cig plug with success Debbie

[@jessesmtb4725]

Reckon it could be ceiling mounted?

[@thesaladtable4446]

Im fairly sure they can Jesse as they move 360deg
