Maxxfan Deluxe Vent, Fan and Vent Cover All in One - Powerful 10-Speed Reversible Fan with Thermostat, Built-in Rain Cover, Remote Control, Intake & Exhaust Fan, Smoke (00-07500K)

Good Fan. I installed this in our camper bath. I like this particularly because of the rain-proof cap. The main fan in our trailer has a rain sensor that closes the lid & shuts the fan down if raining. That results in no cross breeze through the trailer at all. This MaxxAir remains running in the rain and moves plenty of air to keep that breeze going. Its not too loud and installation was as expected. Good quality fan - Im happy with it.

I paid a company to install it for me because I was too chicken to cut my roof open. It's working great. I highly recommend it.

The MAXXAIR Maxxfan Deluxe Vent exceeds expectations as a ventilation solution for vans and RVs. After installation, I noticed an immediate improvement in air circulation and temperature control. While some reviews mention noise concerns, my experience has been quite different. At lower speeds, the fan operates with remarkable quietness - so much so that visual confirmation is needed to verify operation. Even at maximum speed, the noise level remains reasonable and unobtrusive.The fan's performance stands out, but one area for improvement is the installation process. A mounting template would streamline the setup considerably. Despite this minor drawback, the Maxxfan Deluxe has proven to be an excellent investment. Its combination of efficient ventilation and quiet operation makes it a valuable addition to any van or RV setup. The unit's ability to maintain comfortable interior conditions while running almost silently addresses one of the main concerns in mobile living spaces - maintaining comfort without excessive noise.

This is our second MaxAir fan install in the past week or so. First one replaced our stock Fantastic fan (exhaust only) that died on our first day of a two month trip to Newfoundland.The first install was tricky on our 2019 Airstream Flying Cloud 28RB front vent as there is a solar combiner that prevents the fan from being installed. We have an aftermarket (AMSolar) solar install with a separate more beefy solar combiner so I just removed the stock one and made a cover plate out of 1/8” Alumium.Second fan install was under two hours. We loved the first one so much, we didn’t want to wait for the rear vent fan to die.You can leave these open in the rain, while driving, and in the rain while driving. With just one fan running, our Airstream was usable on bathroom and lunch stops on our travel days. We’ve done five travel days from NH to WI so far in torrential rain and hot, sunny heat.Make sure when you remove the old fan, you clean up the sealant. Spend extra time in prep and you will reap the benefits for years to come.We fulltime in our Airstream and these vent fans will get a lot of use.Each shipment arrived with the original box in tact, the last shipment had a pretty dented outer box but the inner product box was fine and the fan unit is fine.I reused our existing grey trim plates in our Airstream for each vent fan. It’s not that bad to see the white plate of the base of the fan against the grey trim.

We are full time RVers. In my 2017 RV I had 2 power roof vents that are controlled by a computer system. (Spyder). Sadly, these fans are no longer available and there is no direct replacement. One fan died and after a recommendation from E-Trailer I decided to try this one.Turns out that was a good choice! This unit is sleeker which will put less stress on the lid while driving. In fact, I'd be willing to drive with this one open! The fan is the same as my old unit, but this one is much quieter. My old fan had 2 speeds, this unit is a 10 speed. Because of the design, the lid covers the opening at all times so that rain cannot enter (unless it's wind driven). There is also a screen to keep critters out. Finally, although not compatible with my computerized wall switches, the remote control works perfectly fine to operate the unit.Very happy with this unit!!

I bought the Maxxair over a competitors because it came highly reccomended and has the auto-function on as well. My only concern with this is that because the air basically has to do a 180 degree turn to exhaust, and I thought it might not flow as well.Installation was pretty straight forward, made easier by the fact I removed a non-fan vent and just used the old installation holes to mount it. I did re-drill holes in the Maxxair vent skirt to match, simply because I didn't want to drill another 20 holes into the aluminum frame since 24 were already there. All I did was make it match. Not a big issue. Wiring was easy, the only thing to remember is which wire is positive as they are black and white only, but handilly they pre-label the wires.Once installed, I cranked it up and was very impressed. It flows a LOT of air. It is rather loud at 100%, and would probably keep me awake at night (especially since it's right over the bed), but when I turned it down to 50% it was very reasonable. I know that with the RV all closed up, and the fan on high, I can feel it resist me opening the door due to the vacuum it creates inside. I left the RV closed up in the hot sun, and when I opened it all I had to do was open a front window, turn the fan on, and within minutes it was temperate inside. My worries about airflow were for nothing. The fan works, and works well.I also tested the fan at various speeds with an ammeter. With the fan exhausting air at 100% it draws almost 2 amps, which is quite a bit. Still, I have two deep cycle batteries, so that setting would easily last overnight. At 50% it was just under 600 milliamps. 30% about 200 milliamps, and at 10% only 60 ma. When I ran it with the air being blown into the RV, it used about 10% more power at the same settings. As I suspect most people will run it in exhaust mode, this is irrelevant. I figure I will run it between 30-50% most of the time as well, so the power it uses seems quite reasonable for what it does.The remote works well, and you can auto set it to turn on at what ever temperature you select. If you lose the remote, you can still operate the fan with the controls built in to it. The remote is IR however, so you have to have it within visual range of the fan to operate it.My only concern is that the fan and the skirt that goes into the square hole first are two seperate pieces. You put the skirt in from the top and screw it to the roof. The fan and hood assembly then 'sits' on top of that and gets secured with four bolts. It seems sturdy enough, but their is a little lip in the skirt that the fan fits over... Water will certainly get blown into that lip. There is no seemingly easy way for it to drain. Does it just stagnate there? Is it just supposed to evaporate and leave behind dirt? I'm not quite understanding the design, and looking at the pictures from the installation guide don't help. To be clear, water won't leak into your RV, but will just sit in that small lip for a while (see pic).I called the 800 number that came with the installation instructions to inquire about this, and after going through the phone tree was given another number to call. Upon calling that number, and going through the phone tree, I got a recording telling me to that "if you are a retail customer" to contact "a retail service center near you". I tried some other extensions for support, but never got through to anybody. So.. no support there. An easy fix is to seal it up with silicone, which is what I'm going to do. (see attached photo of that gap where water could get into.)This fan is expensive, and even with that weird lip around the upper skirt, if it holds up to the test of time it will have been worth it. Installing and learning how to operate it was pretty easy and so far I like it.
