Maxxfan Plus High Powered 10-Speed RV Intake and Exhaust Fan - Manual or Remote Control Electric Opening, Easy Ceiling Controls, Rain Sensor with Automatic Lid Closure, Smoke (00-04500K)

Had a MaxxAir manually operated lid that I replaced with this fan. Because the two fans are basically the same model with different internals, I was able to actually take all of the "guts" out of our manual fan, and replace them with the guts from this remote controlled fan. Installation was about a 2 hour job, but I didn't need to disturb, or redo any of the sealing on the roof of our camper. Remote works great, and has the bonus feature of a temperature controlled setting. Have actually used it to pull hot air out of the bathroom, and it works well!

I purchased the MaxxFan to replace an existing non-fan vent in my RV. This fan has includes tabs for the Fanmate outside vent cover so if you decide you need a cover it will be very easy to add one. (I didn't want a cover since it would shade my adjacent solar panels.) You will need putty tape and self-leveling sealant to complete the installation.The fan is quiet and move plenty of air. The motorized hood does not rattle when it's open and it's windy outside. I'm very pleased with the fan, but the remote is another story. It's an IR remote so you need a direct line of sight to the fan. Even worse, it doesn't work very well during the daytime when the hood is open. You will need to stand directly under the fan holding the remote above your head to get reliable operation.

I ordered this product and it was marked as delivered. Amazon refunded the money and I ordered it again. The second time was the charm and it arrived quickly and undamaged. Thank you Amazon for that. I recommend reading the instructuons and looking at instructional videos on youtube. Butyl tape and self leveling Dicor caulk is needed for instlation but is not mentioned in the listing. I tested the fan before installation to ensure its operation as it would be difficult to remove for return. I did this in response to some reviewers who reported that the fan did not work properly out of the box.The instructions were easy to follow and the unit went in as expected. I used the inside trim from the old fan to measure and mark off the new trim to ensure correct fit. This unit is a big upgrade from the very small exhaust fan that came as origional on my RV. It moves plenty air and can be reversed. It also can be cleaned from the inside. The original fan could only be cleaned from the roof. Overall i am pleased with the results. Only one star for the remote because I did not purchase that feature. I would buy this again.

The white $200 version of this fan does not have the rain sensor or automatic closure which was disappointing and confusing based on the listing. besides that, Fan works great and speeds are nice. Has temperature feature if gets too hot in rv it turns on automatically.Has the tabs to easily install vent cover (sold separately.

I have installed Fan-tastic fans on RV's for years. This time around I thought I would try the lesser known Maxxair fan.What a pleasant surprise! Significantly less expensive than the comparable Fan-tastic fan, 10 forward and reverse speeds and the ability to run the fan with the vent closed for interior air circulation. The controls are digital and easy to operate. The fan is almost completely silent when used at speeds 5 and below, getting louder as speeds increase but never to the point of being irritating. The integral thermostat is accurate and shuts the fan off at the selected temperature.Installation is identical to the Fan-tastic Fan - not difficult but time consuming to remove the sealant from the fan being replaced and the RV's roof.For those of you who are aware of the forthcoming Zombie Squirrel Acropolis, this vent locks from the inside providing another level of protection from the zombie squirrels.

You wouldn’t think you could get excited or think much about an RV bathroom exhaust fan, but this fan does it. We’ve had everything from the very cheap junk fans the manufacturers dump on RV buyers to the best model Fan-tastic makes and none of them are even in the same league for comparison to this fan. This is a really nice fan!The controls on the fan are a little confusing to use, but that’s not the case with the no brainer to figure out remote control that has an LCD display that shows you everything thats going on, and comes with a mount to attach it to like a regular wall switch.I really wish this product listing had more pictures than just the outside top of it, the part you never see anyhow. A better picture of how it looks on the inside and of the remote is badly needed as well as a picture of everything that’s included in the box. The lack of both almost made us hesitant to not buy it. The description really needs to be better as well. We were hesitant to buy one with a motor lift because what happens if the power goes out or the lift motor fails and you need to open or close it? The description and lack of pictures don’t show you there’s also a very easy to turn (unlike other hard to turn fans like the Fantastic or lower quality) manual hand crank knob.The dual supports for the lid is a far superior design. The electric lift motor is a little louder than it probably needs to be, it isn’t loud per say, but you can hear it running up and down. The manual hand crank to over ride the motor if need be is very smooth and effortless to run it up or down unlike all the other brand fans out there.The fan itself is insanely quiet, on lower speeds it still moves plenty of air but is so quiet that even standing directly under it with my head inches away I keep finding myself looking up to see if its actually on. Even on the highest speed its quiet and can’t be heard at all from just a few feet away, and it really moves the air.One things for sure, after having used every other brand of fan out there over the years we’ll never be buying any other fan again other than this exact one. Its only flaw is in the operating buttons on the actual fan itself being a little confusing to use and not a real feeling of if you’re pushing the buttons or not, but with the remote mounted to me wall on the included wall mount bracket you never need to use those buttons anyhow.We added on the sold separately inside LED lighted cover that Maxxair also sells and its really a nice combination, looks and works amazing.
