Finished Fan Photos

After just a few more minutes work, the job is complete. I removed the painter’s tape and squished the lap sealant a bit in a few spots. That is some weird stuff. I curled it out of the caulking gun in a pattern similar to what a welder would do. As advertised, it does self-level and conform to the fan mounting bracket edge really nicely. However, even after 16 hours, this stuff was still pretty wet. It has skinned over, but certainly is not cured yet.

I may end up adding RV roofing tape over the top in a few weeks. I’ve seen knowledgeable builders recommend it for the water being driven across the roof at highway speed.

This position is all the way open. The idea with this fan is can remain open, even in the rain.

This is fully closed. Since I was up on the ladder, I grabbed the carpenter square - the fan adds 6” to the 103.6” vehicle height. I think I may measure myself before I head under a low bridge. Has the internets every been wrong?
