Re: Maxxair Vent Covers
Yes, MAXAIR instructions instruct that the Vent Cover be mounted to the metal frame of the vent. My installation was particularly interesting as I mounted a TurboMax Unit over the vent of my TM. The opening on them is even larger then the standard vent cover. As it has a thermostatically controlled, variable speed, reversible fan built in, it was necessary to provide a good seal so the air would be channeled into the TM when set to "intake". So, I built a frame using the new "plasticized" decking boards now available and "siliconed" it to the roof in a tight fit around TM's already built up lift. The inside edges of the frame needed to be beveled to avoid water standing between the two frames. No need to fasten it down other than the silicone, as minimal structural strength was needed, due to the fact the cover was fastened to the metal frame of the vent. I removed one of the two 12 v lights to install the controls. Looks good, works good.
Happy trails.............George
