Sprinter Van Build MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Fan Install - Step By Step!

Sprinter Van Conversion Series Episode 3: In this installment of the Sprinter VanLife Build series we continue to chop up the roof of the van in our quest to make the ultimate Adventure Camper Van!!! Follow along as we install our MaxxFan Deluxe 7500 vent unit in our Mercedes Cargo Sprinter Van. We've tried to include all the steps and information on how to make this a successful install and learn from some of the minor inconveniences we encountered along the way. We are also considering making the anti-crack ring and interior overlap brackets if there's interest so let us know in the comments!
