For anyone interested in purchasing one, Home Depot has the Maxxfan with LED on sale for $73 at the moment.

MaxxFan Dome Plus with 12-Volt Fan and LED Light

My order arrived yesterday and it *did* have the LED light included. Was a little worried with so many receiving theirs without one when buying though Amazon and Ebay.

My order also had the LED lite.  Thanks for the heads up!

The MaxxFan Plus with the LED light really makes for a superior lighting configuration in the head with the factory OTT LED lighting package, FYI.  Should be another standard module from the Mothership, IMO.

Best bang for the buck upgrade we've done yet.

I purchased this LED fan last year, was going to install it…

Hate to get on a ladder, on a tall incline, gravel drive, uneven ground. The OEM fan still works fine. Working on other upgrades as this items sits in waiting. One day…

Thanks for the heads up...order on its way.  I'll review the initial post before installing and provide any updates on hull 505 installation.

We're preparing for a trip from Seattle Area all the way to Nova Scotia then down to Florida by Dec.

We've had the fan, with the soft led ring light for almost four years now. It's the bomb. Quiet. The overhead light is a joy. Plus, easily accessible fuse, should we ever need to replace it.

Install was easy, as I recall. I'm sure I have a post somewhere.

I should get mine off the shelf and install it. The list is still long!

Thanks to @MAX Burner and others who shared their installation.

I was able to install the upgrade today in a reasonable time without rushing.

My tip after having done the install with simple connections..  

"Do a dry fit to see where the wires are going to land and build a simple wiring harness."

The Light and the Fan each have their own white and black wires, it would be nice if the fan company provided a pre wired header to plug those in to the light shroud with a long bare white and black out of the harness to connect to the trailer leads.

If I were to do it over, I would make my own header and tuck it up inside before securing down the fan.

I think the trickiest part was measuring to cut the extension tube because of the Oliver's slightly curved ceiling.

Joe installed a light on our Max fan in the Casita.  He added a dimmable feature to it which helped with the brightness.  So far we have not found a need for additional lighting in the galley/salon area of the Oliver.  He did change out two of the touch lights that were malfunctioning.
