Best Ford Van RV Vents And Fans

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

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.

I have two of these installed in our stepvan - they were one of the first things we installed during the build process, and thank goodness we did because they kept us cooler during the summer build. Easy to use, the multiple-fan settings are nice, and the exhaust feature can pull a lot of air. We don't have AC, so these fans make a huge difference in pulling out hot air and replacing with outside air. Great service from etrailer - I ordered the wrong fan the first time and they were great to work with in getting another shipped out to me.

Installed this 15 months ago, worked pretty well, bearings make some noise, and fan has slight wobble, but worse-off, just this week began to turn on by itself, and via the control panel would sometimes turn off when I pressed the power button, but most buttons just don't do anything when pressed. I had to disconnect the power, then re-connect, and, at first, it would be okay, but now it just stays on at a high speed when connected to power and unable to change anything on it, power, speed, direction. > > Now it just turns on when I connect power, and none of the control panel buttons do anything. > > It is connected to 12 V system 2 100 ah lithium batteries to buss bar and fuse box. >What a shame at over $200 you would think this would last at least 3-5 years. But, I suppose these days of cheap manufacturing and execs making more top dollar, well, we consumers pay the price. > What can be done to fix this control panel issue?

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.

Work great, no problems with rain, snow or leaks. With solar panels we leave both fans on while Class A is unoccupied to keep humidity down and temperature cooler inside rig. We are very satisfied

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.

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.

I waited several months before writing a review so that I could make sure this replacement cover didn't leak. It hasn't! It was really easy to install which I did myself. For reference, I'm a 53 year old woman. Our trailer is an enclosed aluminum trailer, and this cover fit perfectly.

The cover came very quickly and securely in the mail, very durable, well constructed and stream-lined. Installed fairly easily with your on line installation Tudors. Unfortunately my base has a different type hinge, so a few minor challenges, but for the most part doable. I still need to find a friction clip to secure my top to the actuator mechanism, but hopefully I can find it locally. Our Arizona sun destroys most plastics as our original cover had failed in about five years. I am very pleased with my new cover top, looking to it meeting and exceeding our needs!

I just got the trailer roof vent, and it is a great product. I unboxed it and noticed it was made of quality material. The top half had nice wide corners with several predrilled holes for easy installation. The inside plastic parts were sturdy and well designed to fit just right. I will be replacing an old plastic roof vent on my 6x12 enclosed trailer. This roof vent will be a life saver because of its quality, and it will be able to handle the years of being in the elements to come. Plastic just doesn't last at all in elements. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to save themselves a lot of time and money replacing the plastic model roof vents by purchasing one of these. Great Job folks!

No more breaking the roof vent on the trailer when shoveling off snow! Customer service was also excellent and shipped fast!

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.

So far it's holding up with no leaks. Kind of on the flimsy side comparing to the one removed but easy to install. Couldn't use the trim ring inside but after a year still looks new and the lifting/lowering mechanism works smoothly. Overall a good price for the quality.

Purchased this because from Etrailer because they state made in USA. Nowhere is there a made in USA stamp or in print. It looks identical to the made in China ones for $[XX] cheaper on [online resale]. By the build quality I am quite sure that it is Disappointed to say the least

Easily and effortlessly installed. They are made of nylon or flexible plastic I believe. White, powder coated aluminum would have been better but after a few hours of searching these were the nicest looking and the best price.

Hi Carol, I bought a lot of things from etrailer, I'm looking for two rear doors for my trailer, do you sell doors for a 24x60 triailer, or where can I find them? thanks

Product worked but wasn't worth the price paid. Ordered the white version which was cheaper and combined with other items for free shipping. Ordered 11/23; Kept changing the delivery till July 2024. You offered the black vents. Charged the higher price and also charged me freight. Turned me off as a customer by bait and switch. Forced me to find a better source for components.

Excellent product and easy to work with. Great service. I was concerned however about insects entering through the vents so came up with a filtration system. Used a PVC coupling and some filter material. Cut the coupling to 1/2 inch rings and remove just enough material to allow an inside press fit. Cut round filter and insert first then hold in place with the ring. On the outside vent cut a long narrow piece as shown. When installed as shown, adds very good double filter and allows air to move freely. Just finished a 6000 mile trip clear across the country and back and filter performed perfectly. Eliminating the heat build up AND keeping the bugs out. JIM : ]

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!

Exactly what we needed as it keeps the windup vent from breaking off if it is left open while driving, as mine was

Easy to install. Product is made durable material that will last. Also works well in that I can leave my roof vent open without getting debris or rain inside with this cover design.

I’m writing this review before installing the vent so I can’t attest to its durability/longevity. This is a lightweight unit but it should suffice for use about three times a year for a couple of days at a time. This unit is affordable; well under $200. It is a next step up from a passive vent with no fan.

Five stars to E-Trailer for processing my order same day and getting it on UPS Ground where it took the three days to get delivered in time for my install on the weekend. I'm assuming this product deserves 5 stars as well since it is what it was advertised to be. My only minor ding is for the two missing screws that are needed to hold the screen in place. The $20 for the 'installation kit' shipped a tube of urethane caulking two sets of screws, one for the mounting topside (plenty, thank you) and the bottom ones for the trim. But did not see the short 1/2"? for the screen. I had to use my old ones, one of which fell down a floor vent so I need to hit up a hardware store for it. The vent went in with little effort. Just took my time scraping off the old caulking and used plumbers putty, instead of the caulking for under the flange (in case I have to rip this up again). The tube provided just enough for a thick coat of goo to cover the flange and where it meets the roof. I have a rubber roof, so this was perfect. I'll rate the other things I purchased once I install and use them.

This Exceeded our expectations; we didn't know that this would have such an impact on how much air was moved by this vent fan. I was in, then out of the "Doghouse" for the cost of this (the wife did her own research after I had) and then the wait; the unit this replaced was leaking water as it rained outside. Within a week of ordering this it was delivered, and the following day I got it installed. Installation directions were very simple to understand/follow; the hard part was removing the old vent fan and caulk. Another "Bonus" was how quite this is compared to the original.

Excellent fan. Correction to the etrailer description. The lid can be opened and left open without the fan running, either with the remote control, a wired wall control or by the manual knob on the fan. It can be partially to fully opened by using the manual knob. The optional wired wall control works great for those who can't reach the ceiling control panel on the fan. I have 4 of the 07000K fans in 2 campers, all with wireless remotes and wired wall mount control panels.

Fit perfect! Was just what I needed. There was even a video showing how to install. It even shows other related and parts that connect to the part incase those may be needed as well.

Replaced my old, cracked vent cover on 2010 Keystone Bullet. Exact fit. Fairly easy to install. Just ordered another to have on hand . Happy customer.

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...

Before I installed both vent covers I took picks and then the installed both took about an hour and a half. Everything worked out great as a matter of fact I can open both vent tops all the way. Here are some picks. All installation instructions were dead on Video was the best. Thanks ,job well done on both ends.

We needed some MaxxAirs for a new 5th wheel that we purchased. We knew from having them on a previous camper that they are good products. eTrailer has been a trustworthy place to order and get knowledgeable information from in the past. I had found a really good deal on the MaxxAirs at a different site, and contacted eTrailer. They stuck to their 110% price match policy and beat the other price. Quick shipping and good service on top of the best price. Can't beat it!

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!
