YES, I changed out the stock exhaust fan with a MAXX FAN. To compensate for the curved roof, I made a hardwood frame, with curved undersides front and back, and straight at the sides. It is about a half inch thick at the center.
The frame is screwed to the roof from below. Calking bead between and along the outer edges on top. That keeps the Maxx Fan frame from being distorted. I see you went ahead without a frame. Good Luck!

There is a slight curve side to side from the roof line center to the outside edge of the mounting flange (approx 1/4" drop from center to outside). I was hoping that between a little flex in the roof flange mount and butyl tape along with rv sealant would take up the variation. Any thoughts or experience with this out there?
Thanks,
