I just looked at photos of a build by Yellow Chrome on a short bus, and they have mounted a roof AC unit side by side with a MaxAir Fan.
Anyone else ever done this? Roof leaks?
Feedback please.

I have a Houghton A3800 on Freddy D's roof. It moves more air than any other rooftop unit, 350cfm, I believe. I wouldn't mount it tilted though, as per the installation instructions. The condenser makes it own rain (condensate) and the built in drains have a gravitational flow.
I understand the need for an exaust vent, too. Have you considered a different model of Maxxair fan? They have models for horizontal and even diagonally mounted. This model is built for the purpose you described, including wall mounter. (Saving roof space.)
