Replaces the operator mechanism for your MaxxAir MaxxFan Plus or MaxxAir Deluxe powered lift roof vent.

Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today we'll be taking a look at the replacement operator mechanism for the Maxxair MaxxFan Plus or MaxxFan Deluxe roof vents. This is going to be a direct replacement from Maxxair for that crucial component to actually open up your vent or fan. You can see when I turn this small portion that little hex portion turns. So that's what's going to open or close our vent and provide us with good circulation inside our RV or camper. This is a fit for the Maxxair MaxxFan Plus part number MA00-04500K or the Maxxair Deluxe MA00-070003 or MA00-0700K. That's for the powered lift roof vent.It doesn't come with any other hardware.
It just comes with the mechanism and then this small bushing to go over that portion there. It will reuse the same hardware to attach this in place. It'll get you back to working with your vent. If you need any other replacement parts for your Maxxair fan, check out etrailer.com for more replacement parts. That's going to do it for our look at the replacement operator mechanism for the Maxxair MaxxFan Plus or MaxxFan Deluxe roof vents..
Exact part. Easy parts look up and checkout. Communication from e-trailer on order and shipping status, part arrived early.
Easy to follow direction booklet included. 10 minute installation and 10 minutes of cleaning Maxxair blades, rain sensor,vent cover, shroud and Maxxair hood. In addition I used a seal cleaner and conditioner to renew vent cover seal. Vent cover was sticking before which may have led to part failure.
Vent works just like new!
Pictures show broken part and new part.
Thank you to all staff at etrailer for your efficiency in getting parts to customers.

Still flawless and fully functional.
My MaxFan is an older model of the 7500 fax, camper 2011 forest river Blueridge. The operator was slightly different from the original that was broken, the original did not use the vertical mounting screws to hold it down. It used the horizontal screw holes to mount to an L shaped bracket that screwed to the fan housing. I had to add some small washers and elongate the screw holes on the L shaped bracket to make it work, but besides that the part works great and my lid will now open and close. Not an exact fit but it now works!!
After buying my rv, the old maxxair operating gear blew up. The “new” replacement I purchased from trailer is still working great and came with specific instructions for the installation.
Perfect replacement for the original that basically blew up after 6 years and the vent could not open/close except by manual effort. All work done on the roof with manual open/close from inside. Worked perfectly 1st time, and 1 year later. A lot cheaper and easier than replacing the entire unit.
This part was a perfect replacement for the factory one that "exploded". Simple, clear instructions were included and the hardest part was climbing the ladder to the camper roof. Shipping was great with the tracking options, and it actually arrived two days early.
Perfect fit, easy to install. The installation instructions need a little extra. Once you have followed the install part you need to go inside and use the manual opener to give you more room to connect the lid.
Product was shipped then delivered without issue and on time.
Removal of the defective actuator was very simple as was the installation of the replacement. The instructions provided are accurate and detailed but better photos could be provided. My original actuator had exploded so I couldn’t use it for reference when installing the new one. Removal and installation took about 30-45 minutes including cleaning the fan area and the vent lid.
My issue was synchronizing the actuator with the opening/closing of the vent lid. First of all, note the position of the lift rod arms. Upon installaon you’ll want to position the rod so the arms are at the same height as when it was removed. If your existing actuator still functions, when it’s removed rotate the motor/knob connecting rod one way or the other and note when it comes to a stop. Rotate the new actuator to match the position of the old component when it was removed. As my old actuator was in pieces, I had to make repeated attempts to get properly position the opening and closing of the vent lid. This took another 30 minutes or so.
In the end, the new component functions perfectly and the lid raises and lowers to its proper positions.
Seems better built than the original. Time will tell how it holds up. There is quite alot of pressure on the mechanism. easily replaced the original.

Great service/delivery. The part works, however the range of movement of the fan lid is limited. The instructions could have been better. But overall satisfied and will use them again if needed.
Arrived quickly and was correct and functional. We're old and had to have an RV maintenance business do the install and it was flawless. It's worked perfectly ever since and to me it looked to be an improved version of the original.

A year into service, the fan has worked flawlessly. I have to believe the replacement part was more robust that the original that came with the fan.
the OEM part is weak the point of being defective. the replacement installs easily, fits perfectly, and is WAY better than the original part.
if I had known all this before, I would have replaced these immediately to avoid the OEM failures.

The MaxAir fan parts are working as they should. Replacing them was pretty easy using the instructions provided.
Fits perfectly and the price was great

Baddabing Baddaboom, Jeffrey! Now that the fan is fixed, what's next on the project list?
Perfect, better than the original. The part was bolted together instead of pressed. The instructions were very good. Customer service and communications were excellent.

The part is still working great. We are fulltime and the fans get a lot of use. Very pleased.
Shipped quickly and got my MaxxAir Fan working properly again. Install was pretty easy, Just need a phillips screwdriver and some patience. Took me a few tries to get the range of motion properly set. Hopefully the replacement lasts longer than the original lasted (18 months).

The regulator is still working great, I ordered an second one to have on hand as a spare. MaxxAir was no help with warranty, but I got what I needed from etrailer.com.
Exact replacement for the parts that were broken by the tweeker that was trying to break into my trailer. My MaxaFan is operational once again. etrailer got the parts to me in short order and are always great to work with.

After one year, the replacement part is working as good as new.
Excellent shopping/ordering experience from etrailer. Even the order tracking was more than I expected.

Very happy with the repair mechanism for our MAXXFan, no problems to this point.
seems to work just fine. I figured out how to install it myself. Good instructions.
My maxxair fan does something weird however, which may be unrelated: it is humming along nicely moving air up and out, and all of a sudden it starts beeping and will shut down. no observable change in temperature, no rain or moisture… won't stop beeping until I turn off the whole house battery situation and back on again. So I don't use the fan much!
Super easy to change out, easy to repair than change complete roof vent.
Got the replacement (2nd shpmnt) with instruction pamphlet and all parts as originally expected. 1st shpmnt came missing part and no instructions. In fact, 1st shpmnt was not enclosed in MaxxAir packaging. Made me wonder.....? When I questioned the missing part in the 1st shpmnt, I got the same reply from two different people at eTrailer. Must have been looking at the same computer screen. Some times one wonders????????????

So far so good. I was a bit skeptical at first because is arrived without the coupler. Customer service implied I was not being truthful. Their position was, no way, not us but finally sent a replacement.
Easy to install and worked perfectly. Order process was simple and delivery was relatively quick.
Can always depend on E-trailer to keep me on the road.
As always, 5 star service....

I use the max air 6 months of the year at least 3 times per day depending on weather maybe more. Replacement part has functioned properly. I inspected part after 6 months of use, no cracks or visible wear and no out of the ordinary sound when operated.
