Minnie Winnie 26T Satellite/Fan pre-wire?

[GBFANKEN]

Does anyone know if the New MW 26T is Pre-Wired for satellite ?


Are the Manual roof vents Pre-Wired for Electric fans ?


Thanks in Advance !

I can't speak to the satellite prewiring, but I can speak to the roof vents. They are not pre-wired.

I installed MaxxAir fans in all 3 vent openings and I had to tap into nearby power through the foam-filled ceiling. I used a fiberglass fish tape system like this:

Here is where I tapped:

1. Front vent - tap into the nearby light with a push switch on it.

2. Kitchen vent - remove the microwave facia and tap into the power to the LED light switch over the sink/stove area.

3. Bedroom - tap into the power to the bathroom vent fan.

None of these have had any fuse blowing issues even with the fan on high and the item I tapped into ON.

Thank you very much ! I will probably do the same.
We're the fans easily replaced with MaxxAir, Roof caulking ?? Etc ??
Thanks ��. Gbfanken

The MaxxAir install was easy and they fit like a glove. The toughest part is fully removing the caulking from the original vents and cleaning that area up before installing the new units. Remember, you have to use silicon self-leveling caulking for fiberglass roofs. The Dicor brand for rubber roofs will not work.

I bought the top of the line MaxxAir - Maxxfan Deluxe 00-07500K and having the remote is really handy. You can even open and run the fans with the slides in, which is necessary after storage, etc. Without the remotes, the slide really covers 2 of the 3 fans.

Thanks again for the information...


I would like to replace the bathroom and the kitchen area fan. Those MaxxAir are much, much better than the small bathroom fan. Living, kitchen area would be great for cooking, breeze etc. Thank you so much. Gbfanken

Dicor works just fine on fiberglass:

Dicor’s HAPS Free Self-Leveling Lap Sealant creates a secure, secondary seal along the roof’s edges, air vents, vent pipes and screw heads. Compatible with EPDM, TPO and PVC membranes, it adheres firmly to aluminum, mortar, wood, vinyl, galvanized metal, fiberglass and concrete. Ideally suited for aftermarket use, the lap sealant is one of the highest volume products sold in RV stores today.

You can also install Hengs Vortex II fans. They are a lot cheaper and much easier to install and probably give you 80% of the MaxxAir airflow. I had them in my last two RVs and was very pleased with them.

As far as you satellite wiring, you should have connection for park cable somewhere outside, if you have two connections one is for satellite.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind!

I bought 2 fans, 7500. Will try to change out but June 1st. Also, My wife wanted another " In- Motion" dish satellite. We had one in our Sightseer.
The Winnie Minnie 26 T is not Pre-Wired as you know. I'm thinking about accessing the roof above the cabinet where the DVD player is. The TV, DVD and local TV amp is there. Open the corner panel inside the Left corner of that cabinet.. WHAT DO YOU THINK ?? MOVE THE Dish towards the center of the RV, between the VENT and edge of awning ?? I've installed a Dish on a Navion and Sightseer. Both were Pre-Wired. Any thoughts ????

This will work just fine. that corner panel has lots of access. Drill the hole from inside, then run the cable across the roof where you want the satellite unit. Hold the wire down with stick-on cable hold-downs and wire ties.
