    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.

    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☺
