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, White (00-07000K)

This fan is light years ahead of Fantastic Crap Vent. Everything about this fan is better quality that Fantastic Crap. Super quiet, great remote, and a REAL rain cover built in. I don't worry about leaving this on all the time, even when I'm out of the RV. The install is easy and the best part is the housing that goes through the roof is a standard size so no addition cutting is required. The trim all stays in place if you need to remove the fan for any reason to clean or work on it, just remove a couple screws and unplug it to take it off the roof. I have another fan still that is the equivalent in features made by Fantastic Crap and it is like dealing with 20 year old technology compared to the MAXXAIR. The prices are equivalent but the quality goes to MAXXAIR. Before Atwood bought Fantasic Vent, they would at least stand behind their crappy product, not they tell you to by an "upgrade" if you call for parts. Update 7/22/2017, after almost a year of full time use the MAXXAIR continues to work great. It has actually become even quieter with use. I bought an "upgrade" to my living room fantastic vent at the same time I purchased this Maxxair for the bedroom. The fantastic vent already failed two months ago, the main board fried and Fantastic vent want me to take my parked 5th wheel to the nearest camping world to have it looked at. I told them I can replace the main board, the fan motor still works. They refuse to send me parts. I would have expected the FANTASTIC VENT to last at least one year, nope! As for the MAXXAIR, my only complaint so far is the extremely bright green LED that is always ON when in the AUTO mode. I had to put black tape over it in order to sleep in a dark room.

I loved this fan so much in my trailer that I bought a second one for my camper. It is easy to install, high quality, easy to use, runs quiet, and a bargain in my opinion. It was a nice finishing touch on my camper that adds a touch of luxury that wasn't there with the original, manual crank, can't-use-when-it's-raining, can't-use-when-it's-closed old piece of junk that was there before. My wife loves this fan because she likes to change the settings in the middle of the night without having to get out of the bed. She also loves being able to have the air flow IN while the exhaust fan over the stove flows OUT. She is an awesome cook and great cooking needs ventilation. People complained on these reviews that you cannot close it while the fan is running: FALSE! Just click the open/close button (on the panel or the remote) and there you go. People complained on these reviews that it uses an IR remote (you have to point it at the unit, like you do with a TV remote) but I find this to be a benefit and not a drawback because I wouldn't want to accidentally control the one in the camper when I am trying to control the one in the trailer (or else my wife will get very mad at me), and I definitely wouldn't want someone camping next to me to control my fan. This thing is awesome and well worth spending hundreds more than you would on a basic piece of junk. :-Dave

I have been using this fan on a daily basis for over a year. I have it running almost 24/7 powered by my goal zero yeti 400. The fan constantly runs at 20-30% because my dog is in the van for a few hours at a time when I am working. I have peace of mind knowing I can set the temperature and the fan will automatically kick up the speed if needed. Even when I park in the sun, this fan keeps the internal temperatures below 70degrees. I live/work in SF near the ocean so this also helps regulate the temperature. When I visit Tahoe and colder areas, I have it run at 10% during the evenings to prevent moisture from condensing inside. The install took less than an hour, that includes cutting a hole in the roof, installing the fan, and setting up the wiring. The remote works great for my needs, I mounted it right next to the door so I can turn the fan on and off without having to climb all the way into my van. I need to clean the fan about once every other month when the screen and blades get covered in dust. The waterproof cover works great, it has survived many rain and snow storms, it's fantastic to circulate air when the weather is not agreeable! 100% would recommend this fan for anyone considering the #vanlife!

This unit comes complete, it was very easy to install and it works well. It moves a lot of air and is nice and quiet.

Never used send it back

Firstly, I have say that I have two Fantastic Fans in our trailer - one in the bedroom and the second over the kitchen. I use them constantly throughout the summer. I have had this 29ft camper for 11 years now and I can honestly say that I can count on two hands the number of times I actually used the AC in preference to the fans. Doors and windows have to be shut for the AC to work. It is so loud inside the camper that you cannot carryon a conversation or listen to the radio or TV. We don’t travel where it constantly gets over 35C. Nor do we suffer high humidity. AC is not of much value either when you cannot plug in. So when it came time to do my last semi-annual check of the AC, it failed. Replacement quote was $1096CND plus installation. After a little soul searching, I could not justify laying out that much cash for what amounts to a roof ornament. So with he help of a friend, we hoisted the broken AC off the roof and I installed the Maxxfan 7000 with remote. Chose this model over a comparable Fantastic Fan for the integrated vent cover and the overall good online reviews. They are rather pricy but the build quality looks excellent. Amazon had the best price but be careful, it can increase over $100 when stock gets low. The remote was required due to the ceiling height. Installation instructions are clear. There is also an excellent online video to follow. Search for Maxx Fan Installation by RV Education.

This is one of the nicest fans on the market. It sure move the air and on lower speeds is very quiet. Good quality product.

Automatically opens and closes and adjusts speed, depending on interior temp setting. Rain-sensing and closes when appropriate. Set and forget. Wonderfully effective. Worth every penny.
