Best Chevrolet Express Van RV Vents and Fans

Several of the vent covers were crushed in shipping from being stacked in the boxes (metal arm from one on top pushed in to one under it). Trailer promptly replaced them after sending pictures. A testament to their customer service and satisfaction. I would definitely order from them again. The covers themselves fit perfectly on our 2017 Montana 5th wheel

Perfect replacement for our 1999 Jayco Kiwi bathroom vent cover. Easy swap out. We are ready for another year of outdoor enjoyment thanks to etrailer's excellent customer service.

Nothing but issues. It has worked fully for maybe 3 months in the last two years. At multiple times an owner of these will experience the beeping and blinking green light issue. You’ll be told “oh, moisture in the mother board” so, you replace the PC board and add electrical waterproofing (which voids your warranty). That holds for a while then the beeping and blinking starts again “oh, its gotta be the current draw, the fans require a solid 12v”. Add a DC/DC stabilizer to each fan should settle the issue. Nope, only another two month fix. You can reset these fans easily by just disconnecting the power to them and that seems to get some time but the issue of your fan not going above low and the beeping and green light will inevitably return. there seems to be a lot of people who experience this exact issue leading me to believe it’s a quality control issue at and is not being addressed. I would not recommend these fans to anyone.

It worked great until it didn’t. I used the fan approximately two dozen times over the course of a year. I usually ran the fan for an hour or less. Now the fan controls just beep. It will not turn on.

Fan arrived quickly and was an exact replacement for our Hail storm damaged unit. Thanks eTrailer!

Our hunt club has 2 pit blinds that are used for waterfowl hunting. Each blind is essentially a concrete box with walls, floor and top 4 inches thick and dimensions of 12'x5'x5'. Each blind is buried to a depth of 5 foot to where the top is flush with ground level. Access is through the top using 24 inch wide manhole lids that are made of high density plastic. The cooler air inside of the blinds clashing with warmer air absorbed by the concrete and manhole lids at ground level caused condensation that made the inside damp and smelly. We only hunt 3 months each year, so needed a vent solution for the other 9 months the blinds were not in use. We also needed something that could be powered by DC voltage from a solar panel due to the remote location. In July 2015 we installed each fan into a manhole cover and used water-tight conduit and electrical boxes to run the wiring from the solar panel to each fan. Great solution! Once enough daylight hits the solar panel the fan blades start moving and run constantly until sundown. Will see how long these things last but so far so good

Bought this to replace original bath fan (Maxxair) when the raising mechanism broke. I ordered it from etrailer on a Wednesday, and it was delivered on Friday....super fast delivery. Easy install, and I think we will really like it's features (i.e. 10 speed reversible fan, rain proof cover).

I purchased 2 of these fans to replace the old fan in our RV. Absolutely love these fans and the features; keeps out the rain open or closed, auto on at set temperature, in or out air flow, remote control, low profile design, and straight forward installation. If you are considering a fan replacement, I highly recommend this fan.

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.

These are awesome! They can be used whether it is raining or not, no middle of the night scramble to shut all the vents. Since install we rarely run the AC. We have 2 installed, with a 3rd vent being the brand "fantastic fan" (it was our 1st one installed). Wish we would have known about these before listening to the dealer and wasting our time and money on the 1st install--all would be the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent!

Well made vent should last years. I like the removable screen for easy cleaning. Unfortunately the roof vent mounting flange is badly damaged. I will need to do some work with my hammer and anvil to make it useable. This is clearly incorrect/damaged.

I’m very pleased with the quality of the vent and how easy it is to open and close. This was a replacement for the previous vent that became inoperable and leaked.

Fit the old opening just fine. Easy install, I had to install backwards because of the roof slope on my A-Frame trailer.

This vent is well made and assembly was very easy. Installed with a liberal bead of flex seal caulk and flex seal aerosol as final sealant.

Installed this vent into my Haulmark Transport 6'x12' enclosed trailer. Installation was easy, I cut a 14.25" x 14.25" inch hole between two crossmembers in the roof and dropped it in place. Because the roof on this enclosed trailer is so thin, I used a piece of 3/8" plywood so sandwich between the interior garnish and actual vent. I cut the same size hole into the plywood and left a 2" lip all around. I use 28 #8 x 5/8" stainless screws to hold it in place, pre-drilled with 1/8" bit. I then used roofing tar to seal the vent and put masking tape all around, leave 1" from the flange to ensure good coverage. I then removed the masking tape, leaving nice clean lines. Interior garnish is held in place by #8 x 3/8" galvanized screws. Huge kudos to etrailer for carrying such awesome products for great low prices and offering super cheap shipping to Canada!

My truck build; I have developed, invented, a new kind of truck cap and also wanted to provide the best venting in the industry and this is why I wanted this product. Although it is a little flimsy it is easy to install and easy to use. And it adapts well for my use. My product (I hope to have available in good stores like Etrailer by years end) is a rigid, folding, adjustable (fits most trucks), one person on & off, and easy to store when off pick up truck cap or camper. See attached photos of my prototype build. Many have inquired to use it for their pets, for camping, and many other uses.

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.

When they work, they do really well. Mine started squeaking loudly, so it has been returned. The designers of this model were kind enough to install a super bright green LED that shines when in auto mode, which is where most people will use it. You cannot shut off the LED unless you take it out of auto mode. If you like waking up to a green light, as in an alien spacecraft coming to pick you up for a free ride, then this is the fan for you. Otherwise, shop around because that light is really really bright! If it wasn't for the beacon that you cannot shut off, this would be a five-star review of a fan.

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 really like this product and will purchase the second one. It basically solves the dust problem in our canopy, as it pressurizes the canopy and keeps the dust out. Great product and recommend buying it.

Great fan with multiple speeds, including reverse. Easy to install, comes with everything you need (except butyl tape). Has made a really big difference in the temp. comfort in my RV. The only negative is the supplied electrical connectors-I put them on, tested the fan & then installed the trim ring- then no fan! Turn out the connectors had fallen off- replaced with standard wire nuts and reinstalled the trim ring....VOILA....coolness!

I've had the fan in for a season, and a couple southern road trips. Generally happy. It will run "all night" with no problems on the stock dual batteries in my Ford Transit passenger van. Didn't spring for the remote and maybe would the next time. the controls are bit small, hard to reach, a touch confusing for groggy, middle of the night changes. Fan is quiet and efficient but even on high, directly over the bed, it's not going to bath you with sweat drying air movement. Quality seems good, I installed with an aftermarket, designed for the transit roof profile, ring, it went well. I painted the interior trim with gray "for plastic" rattle can paint to match the Transit ceiling and that is good stuff, it held up well to multiple on offs while getting the install just right". I also brush painted elastomeric white roof coating over the exterior caulk and and mounting screws, zero leaks so far.

Added this to my travel van roof,love it! Gonna add more to my cargo van's side walls because I didn't want windows, but need heat release and a way to peek outside safely when needed. These are perfect and the raised vent helps keep the rain out. A bit hard to open, but that's proven to be a good thing; much easier to close. The holes are safer/stronger than a mesh opening. These are perfect for my use!

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 cannot recommend this product. It came with a crack in the fan blade assembly that results in severe vibration and noise when running. Neither Dometic nor Etrailer have been any help in providing a resolution. I can't even purchase the part I need without buying a full motor assembly, which I don't need, and which is going to cost $70. See pics. I have video as well but the page won't allow me to upload.

Perfect roof vent fan that should have been installed from the factory. Pulls plenty of air without a lot of noise with minimal battery draw. We use this when we shower, or as a fan to pull cool air in at night when sleeping. Good build quality.

Alex was very helpful, polite, and performed all facets of her job quickly and accurately. She asked if there was anything else she could do for me after our transaction was complete, and if I had any questions before ending our conversation. Overall, a very good experience, and would highly recommend etrailer to anyone needing their products.

I received my order but it was a day late and they refunded my shipping charges . Ty Etrailer....I will always do business with u...much love...

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.

These vents were exactly what I needed and was looking for to install on my home built steel frame aluminum skinned motorcycle trailer to create a positive continues in and out air flow to vent summer inside heat and fuel fumes out of the trailer that does vent from the m/c gas tank. I installed a total of four vents, two up front, one on each side high near the roof facing forward to force air in when the trailer is in motion and two on each side at the lower rear facing aft (rearward) to exhaust which will create a vacuum effect as the trailer is moving forward. Installation and painting was done pretty much the same way mentioned by a previous review made by Ray H. on 5/24 . I will add this helpful hint to make your multiple vent install go quick and accurate. If you first make a installation jig out of a piece of scrap 1/2 to 3/4 inch plywood large enough to trace the outside vent screw holes onto, but first drill the 3" hole with a hole-saw then slide the inside round vent tube through the plywood then fit the outside vent onto the inside thru tube collar now you can trace exactly where you need to drill the outside vent screw holes and everything will be aligned for a correct fit when you drill through your trailer wall. Now all you do is drill and secure with screws this plywood jig temporarily onto your trailer and drill all your holes and the plywood jig will insure your hole saw doesn't wobble or elongate it's pilot hole either. Last but not least, let me say that the entire staff at E-Trailer are the best regarding fast courteous and follow up service even after your order has been processed whether you order on-line or by telephone and you will become a repeat customer like myself for all your trailer needs but never for the same thing twice unless it's for another project..(: I'm including some pic's showing the partial to the finished vent installation but sorry I did not take a picture of the plywood jig.

I bought 2 vent to install on my horse trailer. It was easy to install and it work good for my horse. I will be ordering more parts for my trailer soon.

They look great. Well built, and etrailer is an excellent company. They shipped fast, packaging was good, and communication with the company by phone and email could not have been better.

The vents were exactly what I needed to vent the kitchen of my home-built teardrop camper.

RV storage compartment. Design of RV led to condensation in compartment and continual mold issue. This vent fixed the problem. It might require a slight modification to accommodate your situation.

Excellent, powerful fan & my second Maxx Fan purchase in total. Consistently great products. Shipping box was damaged & there were some smudges on the top of the fan, but... it's not like anyone is going to be looking at the top of it anyway & nothing inside was damaged, so all's well that ends well. Definitely a fan of the white top over the more popular "smoke" color for a smidge less heat absorbtion. Also glad that the manual fans continue to be offered as the remote-capable alternatives hardly seem worth the upcharge in situations where the fan is within reach.

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.

Great instructions. Very nice product. Installed nicely and looks beautiful. You will need to buy the butyl tape to properly install and of course the self leveling roof sealant.

This vent fan helps a lot with keeping my 7x14 cargo trailer cool. Did a lot of modifications with my trailer especially insulating the ceiling and now with this fan makes it better and cooler. The lid is always open to let the heat out because i have the MaxxAir II cover so rain cant get in. Fan runs better with more or bigger airflow from the side vents when all doors are closed so i added the Redline II popup vent and it works great. Fan does not slow down. Im glad i got this and will be purchasing again when i get another trailer. Thanks ETrailer

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.

They fit our trailer pefercetly, and we’ve had no issues. We use this trailer at least twice a month so they are used a good deal.
