Best Dodge Sprinter RV Vents and Fans

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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 on schedule. Installation was a simple replacement of my second Dometic NOT SO fantastic fan. I should have purchased a MaxxAir fan two years ago instead of wasting money on a Dometic. Once all the old caulk was removed, this fan slid right in and was connected to power within a minute. Operating this fan via its remote is pure pleasure (the dometic's remote was very frustrating), with its LED screen confirming mode, speed, temp, and fan direction. All of this with a minimum number of buttons and clean layout. I did reuse the interior cover from my removed Dometic as its was the same size, trimmed to fit, and the screw holes would have been exposed if I used the MaxxAir cover which has rounded corners (both are white). I previously ignored all the recommendations to purchase a MaxxAir, and I paid the price (money and very bad performance). Don't waste your money on other brands, buy a MaxxAir MaxxFan.

We love this fan! The remote is nice for me as I can't reach the fan. Nice to be able to reverse airflow, too.

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.

Vent was easy to install, really didn't need the instructions. I would have appreciated a template for the hole though. That way I can just throw the template up and cut along it. A recommendation to reinforce the underside with something (I used 2x2s) might be helpful as well. You do say to align it with a joist, but who's really going to have multiple joists within 14 1/2" from each other? Otherwise, it looks great. I figured you have multiple images of the vent itself so I figured an image of how I reinforced it would be the most helpful for future installers. Thank you. Aaron

This product got great reviews, and I'm not sure why. I was very disappointed in this vent. First, etrailer shipped it with the sealant on top of the unit and damaged it (still haven't heard back from them). Aside from that, the unit is supposed to be smoke. I thought some light inside my pop-up would be nice, and maybe the white unit I had before wouldn't look so dirty all the time if it was smoke. Outside it looks gray. Inside it looks blue. When the sun shines on it, it makes the inside of the trailer look rather depressing and blue. The lid itself is very flimsy, and flexes in the wind. While traveling, the flex allowed the vent to come out of the channel even while fully closed. It was a fun in-camp fix and I was thankful it didn't rain. The seal that goes around the rim does not stay on, and I am constantly pushing it back down (removing the screen to do so, reaching my arm through the hole and pushing it back on). IF I keep this thing, I will replace that lumpy weatherstripping with my own. Note: The new garnish (trim) did not work with my popup. I used my old garnish and cleaned it up with plastic polish and it worked well. It wouldn't have worked as well if I broke the old trim, so keep all your parts if you decide to get this thing. I didn't see any alternatives for the price on etrailer, but may shop around if the lid comes apart again on my next trip out.

Vents work great for the year that I have had them. I got the aluminum version to reduce any chance of rusting. I just painted the vents and they were just fine. Been going solid for a while now. The vents are a bit flimsy for the mechanism but I just baby it and it has been fine.

Nice product. Received this morning, installed by 2PM. Painted it to match the color of my truck. Easy to install; used the garnish as a template. Fixed the vent with stainless screws and the garnish with finishing screws. Had to trim down the garnish height by 3/4 inch which was easy. The vent is to be used either as a snorkel to get positive air pressure in truck cap, keeping road dust away, or as a normal vent.

This item was not package well at all scratched up the top of it, the order took 13 working days to arrive it sat in the UPS warehouse for 8 days claimed they did have enough drivers, I had to talk to them and etrailer folks sever times to get the shipment delivered, I guess when you live 100 miles from the warehouse they will take there time. On a side note there was a cargo slide and 3 other items on this shipment. not very happy with T-Force I think etrailer should look for a different delivery service. Other than that it worked fine

Totally pleased with Maxxair vent covers! Easy to install. We can now leave our roof vents open even in heavy rain or while driving. And they look great!

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.

Great fan cover for most any trailer fan. Dont forget the bug screen. Most fans will have a fan blade screen, but the cover screen is to keep out the wasps & other larger pests from nesting.

This unit binds the vent cover at the top of it’t open position. The vent cover broke. While etrailer is fulfilling their commitment to replace the cover, there is no assurance this will not happen again.

These were ordered to replace hail-damaged OEM spouts. They are superior because they extend further and do a better job of keeping the runnoff from staining the sides of my trailer. etrailer is my go-to supplier: Great pricing, fast shipping, tested and reviewed parts and the best options for replacements and accessories.

Fast, professional and very timely. The right part at a good price.

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.

Photo's showing replacement of new E-Trailer Solar Vent. Thanks for the no-hassle quick replacement.

I have installed these vents on two 7'x14' trailers that are used to store kayaking gear (boats, paddles, helmets,PFD's,clothing and other soft goods). Hoping that the constant air-flow will help prevent mold & mildew. I can already feel the difference in temperature (cooler) than prior to installation. They work, but the construction is so lightweight, I'm wary of how long they'll last. For $[XX], it seems they could construct them a little beefier.

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.

A great solution to increase the air flow in my UTV. 2024 RZR. I removed the screen to increase more air flow. I think this increases air flow twice as much. Easy install!!!!! I placed it on the roof.

Installed on a SxS utv roof for ventilation on warmer days. It gives a much more comfortable ride. Very glad I took the time to install it.
