Revisions / Clarifications: I was wrong about what the manual says, I was just reading the instructions step by step however in another section it does encourage you to install a wooden frame if the following is true... ( This is a direct quote from the Maxxair Fan manual ) "The MAXXFAN is designed for a minimum roof thickness of 50mm to a maximum of 110mm. If your roof thickness is less than 50mm, build additional thickness at the ceiling opening using wood or other suitable material." A typical roof's metal in between between 22-29 gauges, I couldn't find the exact gauge of a Promaster roof on Google. So technically according to the instructions I am supposed to add a wooden frame. Do I regret not doing so? EHHHH Not enough to lose sleep over. I lived in my last van for 3 years with the fan installed the same way and I have seen plenty of fan installs even by professionals without the frame. I knew I was in an ideal spot for support that would't really fit the frame in the first place. So all that to say, do with as you please with all of this information. ALSO, I saw someone screw a block of wood into the middle of where they were going to cut out for their fan. So he had something to grip to hold it up after cutting it out, which is MUCH better than my tape method! I wanted to share the great idea :)

[@krishessler8527]

Sorry.. the best part of this video, is you with your lightsaber 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@chrisgarciart]

subbed for the lotr and star wars references, liked for the quality tutorial. 👍

[@Fyreblade2000]

Hey Tory, thank you for sharing!!! To be honest, I couldn't stop watching...well done mate!

[@x35mmman]

been watching your videos and starting to like more each time your skills on making them.

[@higgnbe]

A heavy duty magnet on the piece you're cutting helps with the shavings

[@marcklemens9152]

All I know is if I ever need a Max air vent installed on my van, I’m calling you Tory. Good job!

[@llewellyn56]

Blockbusters was the place. Great video. Awesome installation. Everything done hundred percent.

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Yep, peeking through the hole is a requirement, that and nose glasses 😂🤪 Great how too 👍

[@ToddDesiato]

Nice job lady! You did a great instructional video. See that? You still know things even if you don't drink. Take care Toryian Delurian.

[@jasonpenn8152]

Another Fan-Tastic & entertaining video Tory 👍

[@islandhomegrown778]

I like how you threw in bits and part of your Haleakala trip

[@marty4933]

Confidence and quality of finish are always better the second time around. Good work!

[@IhateSIGNINGup4this]

Precious, precious, precious van install video!

[@iainmcglynn833]

Another major step taken Tory as only you could take with your gorgeousness and determination to show every possible scenario Excellent work 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👌😎

[@fredricjulien8738]

Nice work Tori. That was an amazing fan install with good explanations. I'm glad the Ringwraiths and Orcs didn't bother you. I did see that Ringwraith flyover at the end. He didn't care to mess with you. 🗡

[@dj_1701]

Watched both parts of the install so far. Really enjoying the joy you find too .

[@espnmk]

BRAVO! Excellent Job Tory... butyl tape absolutely works WHEN! installed correctly. Thanks for Sharing and stay safel

[@joecool7165]

[@paladinfx3083]

Excellent video, thanks Tory! :)

[@RichardVac]

I loved the video, thx! ❤❤

[@mattwedelich347]

Great video 😊🌹🌹

[@introman1016]

Damn you have a HUGE talent, getting that roof done

[@terry4265]

Well, I have to hand it to you. You not only did a great job, but I learned something, I haven't installed a Fan before but did take out and replace the Tape and Calking on my old RV. So great video and Thanks :)

[@jaymedina3142]

Well done.

[@whatthefunction9140]

[@marcl5048]

[@brianwalker9185]

You are a great instructor. great tips. Never saw anyone do this work with clunky high heels. I think you are well on your way to an awesome van.

[@ethen420]

Best pic is @14:46 😅 Just hold the precious one

[@jacoblesperance2208]

How is there never an upskirt

[@Nebbia_affaraccimiei]

cause it's not only a fan...

[@TapiaJ]

On ebay they sell a base that has the ridges of the roof for the promaster. I found it later and wish i knew about it sooner.

[@ski6712]

hello, a really good way to drill sheet metal is with a cobalt step drill and add a few drops of rapid tap cutting fluid as you drill.... it leaves a perfect round hole with the edges/rim beveled/smooth.......... great video's☺

[@onelovetvglobalvlogs]

Bravo!! I’m def a “ FAN” - love the story building- and was that Maui’s Volcano above the clouds ? Interesting how you’re building in the desert !!

[@Lian-es5jy]

❤❤love skirt❤❤

[@hijack4661]

2:03 😄😄😄👍🏻

[@Campbase1]

I think the screws penetrating to the inside might be a problem. Maybe add that wood frame you were talking about.

[@TomMinnick]

Powered Paraglider Spotting!!!

[@kloppskalli]

that squeek at 13:00

[@richadent968]

Nice trick, to use a bag to collect metal shavings. If your breaking saw blade, you may be pushing to hard and/or have the wrong type of blade.

[@roger3786]

... I've installed a few of these and Always gotta stick your head through the hole !!! however at 70 , I don't come close to looking as good as you while doing it lol ... safe travels ...

[@AZ-rg3rf]

2:16 👀👀 Tory you know exactly what your doing

[@joecool7165]

Three and one will well keep your drillbit from getting doll the same with the jigsaw blade keeps the heat down

[@Rob-vg6lw]

Always remember, measure twice and cut once.

[@user-ci2dv3wi7u]

[@LivingProcess]

Brilliant as always 💚 From Starwars to TLOTR's would you want to waterproof the inside of the fan?

[@stephenrussell6074]

I thought you were saying Beetletape I was fully expecting Michael Keatons brother the third time.

[@benjamin48th]

Solar panels are next

[@GinjaNinja350]

There is also a side quest to save a village on the way to Mordor. Then the paint will be dry 😂

❤❤❤

[@ThatGirlLib]

Tory DeLorean 😂🎉

[@amuthanshan]

I guess this means the Cruise N’ Comfort sponsorship for an AC unit installation that you were seeking did not come through. I'm sure you will have another chance.

[@hawl20]

❤

[@lightdark00]

Face shield > safety glasses Safety goggles that include the nose ins another option.

[@songjiang165]

Buy several replacement circuit boards as they fail quickly, Id Pass on Maxx Air fans

[@BobLHedd]

Do you and your clone fight about who was the original like I do with mine?

[@aaronlister7838]

Oil the blade keep it cool

[@ezekielzapataez]

How many weapons do you have with you?😂 I see a lightsaber, the Ring of Power, and at least 1 sword! If u had Batmans belt, you'd be unstoppable.

[@MJ-ge6jz]
