How do replace my AC unit with a Maxxair fan?
I got rid of the rotten old AC unit and want to replace it with a Maxxair. Problem is I don't know how to wire it. Do I have to run all new wire to the battery (or wherever it runs to) or can I use ...

Yea I decided I'm just going to leave the original AC wire alone in case I or someone else ever wants to reinstall AC.
I've tried going from a nearby light but the wire must be damaged somewhere along the line. So I tried to go from an further small wall mounted fan wire but that didn't work either. So yea a lot of these wires seem to be dead. So I guess I have to run new wires after all. I don't know how I'm going to do that because they make it impossible to run new wire. I'm guessing everything was wired up before they put on all of the inside panels and such. :R
Yes, that is exactly how they wire it up. Given that there is no easy access to 12v, I would go with SidecarFlip's idea and just use the existing wire. Label it all clearly, and call it good.
