Best Ford Focus RV Vents And Fans

The order was processed quickly and I was kept informed on the status with e-mails. Vent cover installation and fit up was easy. The mate up of the existing open/close mechanism was a little "fussy". But a re-review of the included instructions confirmed the correct orientation. After I applied a small amount of grease to the friction retaining clip and slide, it was working as good as new.

Pleasantly pleased with this vent cover. Its fit over the roof opening of our 20 year old hay trailer was a bit tight so the plastic dome wouldn't descend flush to the trailer roof. It seemed the closing edge opposite the hinge was bowed inward a little. (Might have been compressed during shipping, but the outside of the box was not damaged). Anyway, I was able to gently bend it outward without damage using a channel lock on the supporting galvanized brace which runs from the hinge to the opposite side. The excellent instructional video attached to the dome part on etrailer's digital shopping catalogue was very helpful. I changed the screen too. I was able to find an older style screen on the Walmart website which did not require me to drill a new hole for the crank handle as demonstrated in the instructional video on the etrailer.com site. At half the price as etrailer's screen and double the shipping cost from Walmart, cost for replacing my vent dome was a horse apiece. Thanks etrailer. I'm very happy.

After many months of fretting over cutting into the roof of my new van, and waiting for the rainy season to end, I found the installation very easy, and the operation is great. We're currently on a road trip, and the MaxxAir has made camping much more comfortable, and it even improves air circulation while driving with the vent open. it's very quiet at low speed and no leaks in even the heaviest rain.

Decided to try the delux fan on my current lance camper. I installed a Maxxfan plus on the last camper, but wanted one with an integrated vent cover instead of needing an extra piece. The lower roof profile is a big plus for me with this fan. Very easy install just like other Maxxfan units. The fan is quiet and pulls a lot of air.

The (2)fan lid black plastic mounting bosses broke as if they had deteriored in the sun. This lower the lift arm to flop down and keep the lid from opening. Trying to figure a method to repair.

Absolute waste. It seems like when the company was sold they changed the programming and instead of fixing it or giving customers an option (read: a simple switch!) they made it so the rain sensor just shuts it permanently absolutely destroying any usefulness of the rain sensor. Customer service doesn't even understand the problem (e.g. getting up at 3 am because of a 2 minute rain at midnight to cycle the fan power) or alternative uses (e.g. using the fan to prevent overheating for longer periods- an all day hike). It now just closes permanently a the first drop of rain instead of reopening when the sensor is dry. I literally ripped this brand new fan out two weeks after install and a year later it's still sitting on my workbench because I refuse to hobble someone else with this absolute piece of garbage before I get a chance to override the problem with an FRM01 12v relay computer. I haven't bothered because 1. I have a better fan (the old version I was lucky enough to find) 2. this one has a chimney which sits up 2" higher 3. the new motor is weak enough that even if nothing else was wrong it would still be a mediocre fan. The old model has a horizontal front hinge and a black motor housing that extends into the lid. Beware a lot of images of the old model are still used in listings for the new model.

So far so good. The fan arrived on time, and despite being shipped without the benefit of an outer box, there was no damage to the fan. The installation instructions were clear, and the installation was not overly complicated. The fan itself is very quiet, allows a good amount of light in, and swiftly pulls heat and presumably propane exhaust up and out of the kitchen. It’s a huge improvement for our 2011 Keystone Raptor both in terms of safety and convenience. The materials and construction of the fan appear to be of high quality, but time will tell how well it will hold up to daily use and occasional travel.

I purchased 2 MaxxAir fans about a year ago & I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase! My husband and I installed them ourselves, which was a bit of a task but still doable. Removing the old adhesive before installing the new fan was the hardest part. They aren't cheap, so I was a little hesitate before buying, but they have proven to be worth every penny! I'm actually on a cross country road trip right now, using these wonderful fans everyday since I hit the road in August. They're great for blowing out the hot air after a hot day, cooling off the rv when it gets a bit too warm inside or when you just need a little circulation. The rain sensors are so incredibly helpful and work great! The lids are a bit noisy when they open and close, but once the lid stops moving, the fan isn't that distracting at all, especially on the lower settings. I highly recommend the MaxxAir Fans!

Would not fit the vent. It is a fan-tasting vent. Is it possible to return this?

Good product, better value than the Maxxair covers. I had ordered a Maxxair from another vendor, but the order was cancelled because they don't seem to be available. The smoke color is translucent, but darker than the Maxxair. I assume this to be the same height, but this limits the opening of my standard vent a little bit. Very quick, easy install.

Hello all. I have a 1973 Apache Pop up, the original vent was missing so I looked online for a replacement and I came across this ventline vanaire roof vent, the vent fit perfectly in the original location of the old vent . This pop up has hard sides when you bring the roof down the side walls meet in the center but leave a gap between each other the handle for the vent fits perfectly in the gap. This memorial weekend we vacationed at Lake Isabella and it gets windy when the vent was closed it stayed closed no matter how strong the wind was. It was a success and worked perfectly. Thanks and I am a happy camper.

I bought this 6" fan a year ago and it is still going strong. I mounted it vertically on the rear wall of my van conversion boxvan(RV Off-Grid Campervan) about 7" from the ceiling. It was a good fit because I didn't want to cut a hole in my roof and my ceiling. It pulls all of the hot air out of the room within less than a minute. If you want to mount yours vertically as well it will operate just fine with no flaws. Water has never leaked through the unit at all even while mounted on the wall instead of the roof. I recently recommended this fan to someone who needed a fresh air fan for summer as well in a van. Perfectly satisfied with this fan, recommend it and would buy again if the need arises! Thank You

This vent was bought to replace one of the roof vents on my recently purchased used horse trailer. The top section of the existing vent was completely missing so rain could come right on in. It was easy enough to remove the damaged vent. Took a bit of elbow grease to remove the old sealant off the roof. The new vent is EXACTLY the size needed and installing it took less than an hour. Now the vent is fully functional once again and no more rain coming straight into the trailer either!

I replaced all 4 rusted and broken vents. The new vents with rubber gaskets fit perfectly, used the same holes. A very easy install, maybe 1.5 hrs.

Was missing the retaining clips on both items. The old ones were ok.

What I'd like to know is how ETrailer got my Roof Vent stuff to me so quickly. Not only that, but I get a note right after I ordered referencing a prior order (for the same thing...different trailer) and I'm saying to myself, "These folks take customer service to another level." Everything ordered was in the box and delivered intact.

The numbers on the original vent are "AS-13 M-VDO449". The correct item number to order is BVD0449-A03 (for smoke color). There is a note on the etrailer site about this issue for a white cover, but they don't specifically tell you which item number to order for the smoke color. Printed instructions on the new vent were excellent in most respects. But there was nothing about how to remove the safety clip from the outside of the camper. More importantly, reinstalling the clip was the hardest aspect of this replacement. To remove the vent, you must first go inside and remove the black handle, screen, plastic cowling and plastic separator. You must then remove the two screws holding the cranking assembly in order to remove the white plastic slide from the vent. I was able to remove the clip by slipping a small flat head screwdriver under the top of the metal clip and prying it up carefully to avoid breaking or bending it too far. The new cover is then easily placed under the camper's hinge tabs and lifted into place. You may need to try to install the metal clip first so you can see how it fits together. In the photo the top of the clip is on the right while the left shows the extra tab which goes under the plastic vent. It took me a good 20 minutes to get the metal clip to seat properly over the two metal tabs on the vent frame.

These vents work well and they are a perfect fit if you are replacing existing ventadome vents. The Smoke color is my favorite, lets plenty of light in, but does not produce any glare. They are a bit difficult to change if damaged. They are also susceptible to grape sized hail damage resulting in cracks and leaks. 4 Stars because changing them required removing the inner trim ring, screen, screen support frame and leaver arm assembly. I also wish they offered a thicker or hardened version for those of us who deal with hail all summer.

We attached the roof vent to our John Deere Gator and with it open the air flow increases significantly and keeps the inside cooler on hot days. Great product, easy to install, and we highly recommend.

I used one of the two I purchased in my 1971 W200 dodge truck its like free A/C, no not really but it helps flow air through my cab for those 9 months of stifling Florida heat an humidity. No leaks when closed. Great price. I paid 100 bucks more then a scraper paid for the truck (300) drive it almost everyday its a beater for sure but has good airflow...

My experience with etrailer could not have been better. Their online catalog had very good pictures and product description, so I was confident the I was ordering the right item for my application. Pricing was competitive. George J emailed me after I placed the order to let me know he upgraded my shipping so I could get the product sooner. The vent covers came well packaged and undamaged. Now I need to install them on my vintage 1964 Airstream Overlander, which I bought several years ago and rehabilitated. The white plastic vent covers I installed several years ago became brittle and crumbled. I hope the smoke colored ones I bought from etrailer will last a bit longer, but the price was so fair I bought an extra pair for the next time.

The roof vents that I purchased was exactly what I needed! The shipping was fast. I installed them myself yesterday and it was pretty simple! I have purchased from etrailer.com before and have been very pleased with my purchases! Thank you!

Found a new place to shop for all my trailer needs. Thank You

Easy to install and look great. Cover was hard to remove at first but with a little elbow grease it popped off

This is a poorly designed vent. Once the base is screwed into the wall/ceiling then you are supposed to snap the vent on. Unfortunately the three snap tabs are wholly inadequate to the task. The vent continually snaps off and I find it on the floor. Probably the only way this will work is for me to drill holes through the vent cover and screw it into the wall. While this will prevent it from falling off, unfortunately it means I can no longer rotate the vent to direct air flow. So, basically not a product I would recommend.

I purchased four of this adjustable airflow heat vent to replace the Airstream 2015 Classic's vents that are fixed airflow. We had too much air coming out of the sitting area vents and not enough out of the bedroom, hall and bathroom vents. The product is not as heavy gauge plastic but they swivel and control airflow as designed. Also, they are very close to the same size as the vents being replaced so very easy to install. As always, etrailer is very good to deal with and fulfilled the order quickly.

Works great as my heater vent. I added and extra duct off my heater to get more heat after repairs were made to the furnace.

It worked great for the terminus of my Coolcat reroute in my Rockwood A213HW. I did remove the innards so as not to slow down the flow of two outlets to one smooth duct.

As usual, the vent cover arrived in good time and was well packaged. I was able to complete the installation in 10 minutes - instructions were clear and this is a quality product that fit my old trailer well. Now my trailer roof is water tight when needed, and I can vent heat easily as well. Thank you for great service!

Delivered super fast. Fits great. Easy install. Thanks

This roof vent is a real game changer for us. It allows us to open and vent our teardrop, even in the rain. Design is sleek. Lock works well. Fan is excellent and quiet.

Quiet running, good ventilation. And Etrailer actually contacted me 1 year after purchase to see how I like the unit. My orthopedic surgeon (knee replacement) doesn’t even do that!

Put this in to get heat out of semi. Open side vent and turn fan on high exhaust wow what a game changer.

Initially I was real apprehensive about getting this fan installed on my 16’ Casita. Not because I didn’t want the fan, believe me I did. The specifications alone were impressive, but the ability to run it like a ceiling fan, with the vent closed was hands down the most impressive feature. Something my little Dachshund Cinnamon would surely attest to. The front mounted ac unit in the 16’ Casita benifits greatly from this fan, it circulates the air better, cools things quicker and, helps maintain the temperature better. There is little information about putting this on a Casita, much less a 16’ one, but I’m happy with my decision to do so. This fan is awesome, and Etrailer was very helpful with information on my purchase. Another note was that I’m happy Terry my installer did this project, the factory installed Fan was riveted in from the top, and removing it wouldn’t have been a typical by the book procedure. Thanks George J. I’m one happy camper, and that’s without mentioning the remote control, air flow on low settings, great price, fast delivery, or quietness of the product. Sincerely, A. McCord Sgt. US Army Ret.

Love the fan light combo plus it's just simple to use. We did not like the Maxxfan Deluxe that fell off on vaction someplace in Wyoming it had two many oppositions and would turn on and off for no reason. Installation was ok but had to make some modifications fiberglass in only 1/2 inch thick and had to buy different fasteners. Over all love it big inprovement.

Huge upgrade from the stock fan, vents a good amount of air. The light was a nice bonus that I didn't think I would use but now I almost exclusively use the light on the fan over the stock light in our bathroom.

MaxxAir fan arrived on time. Installation was easy, just follow the enclosed instructions. Hardest part was removing the old vent, that takes the most time. Total time start to finish was about 3 hours. Unit is good quality and workmanship. Very quiet running and easy to operate.

I installed this myself on a vintage camper. It fit perfect in the space where the old vent was. Wiring was simple, and cutting down the bezel was easy. I have left this open for months and even in storms and no rain gets in. Being able to keep it open keeps the camper from getting musty. I also like the tinted skylight effect it gives.

It was packaged well. It Shipped promptly. It arrived a day early without paying extra for shipping. This is my new favorite RV store

Have had no problems since installing it, works as it should.
