MaxxFan Dome Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - 6" Diameter - Manual Lift - White

by: David05/26/2022

Installing this in the bathroom ceiling of our motorhome was pretty straightforward if cutting a hole in your roof doesn’t faze you. It works great to vent condensation out of our bathroom. It takes a bit of an effort to manually extend it to the open position and it would be impossible for a shorter person to open it. I’m 6’, so it’s not a problem for me.1303505

The vent fan is still working great and does a good job of venting the humid air while taking a shower.

Etrailer helped direct me to the MaxxFan 7500 I believe letting me know that I can probably use the wires to a near by light to power it and they went extra and sent me to videos and also a way to still use the light to with a special switch. I realized that the bathroom fan wasn't working too and an older dome fan so ordered this right away as it's replacement. It arrived in manufactures box and all parts appear to be with it. I also have the sealant materials so it's ready to be installed as soon as our weather up here in NW MT cooperates. Great extra mile answering my questions about installing an electric fan into a screen vent no power space but same size. So helpful to know it's possible.1574030

Very well made fan. Stainless screws and unit is heavy duty plastic. My old fan rusted to pieces. Literally.1650896

I'll write a review once I get around to installing the fan. Why do you request feedback the same day I received my order?1413904

I’m using this fan for some supplemental ventilation over my stove in my van — the van also has a 14” square maxxair in the middle like everyone does these days.

Installation was pretty easy- I bought a compass to mark the hole and cut with a jigsaw. The provided trim is fairly forgiving, so the accuracy of your cut isn’t crucial. My roof was a bit over 2.5” thick and after trimming the fan fits pretty comfortably at that depth. I imagine a thicker roof might leave the fan a bit awkwardly recessed, though this might not be an issue.

Operation is easy and pretty much as described. The mechanism that holds the fan open doesn’t feel incredibly sturdy, but also has been ample for the job. It just doesn’t feel super “solid” when it clicks into the open position. I do find myself wishing the fan direction was reversible at times. The fan also doesn’t displace nearly as much air as the 14” square maxxair, though given the difference in area I can’t fault it for this.

All-in-all it’s been good, if not maybe a bit flimsy feeling for the price.1027297

Great addition on my camper van. It is mounted on our side door and we use it when cooking inside.1125377

Shipping was very prompt and all arrived in good shape.1448487

Product is well made of heavy plastics. Easy to install once you get over the fear of cutting into your vehicle. Did not hook up to power yet to see how fan operates. Looks good on roof of vehicle.881890

Fan was installed as per the directions. Working as described. Would purchase again. The fan only has one speed. Added a fan control switch and I can now adjust the fan speed.

Product works even better than I expected. My friends love how easy it is to use. It looks like it was installed at the factory and totally belongs in my installation. When another needs comes up I would buy another one.

Well packaged. Great installation video. Only complaint is that it was delivered 4 days after anticipated date, that isn't shipper's fault. Installation was a snap after I removed all the old sealant, etc.Very pleased with this product.1625416

I can't say enough about etrailer, my shipment was early, the price was very competitive and the product works great. I would caution anyone installing this fan to also use a DC to DC 12 volt converter to keep the volts to 12 volt and the amps to 5a. If you exceed this my a small amount the circuit board will burn out.....1121634

The Max Air I purchased from trailer is working great after the first year, I would caution people these fans are volt sensitive do I would recommend including a buck converter to the instillation of this product to maintain 12 stay volts insuring longevity of the fan.

Just what I ordered for our van build - but better still, was the excellent customer service I received. The team at etrailer kept me updated on my delivery and were quick to respond when I had any questions. Very happy!1603058

I've had this fan for about one year now and it has been amazing. I love the fact it is reversable and has 10 speeds for just the right comfort.

I do wish the buttons had a soft glow at night so you could find them in the dark.

Also, be aware the smoke color will still let in a ton of light so if you don't want to rise with the sun, you might want a plug or dark cover.1652444

The fans were a great value work exceptionally well are very quiet. The one thing I did was by a switch and wire it in so I can reverse the fans from intake to outtake. Switches were less than $10 and if I remember right it was a considerable amount more if you bought a reversible fan system so I would highly suggest people to go on [online] and looking at it it’s not that hard to do. Thanks again for all your help look forward to my next purchase from you.1228927

I’m very satisfied with this product. I did modify it and wired in a reversal switch.

Nice product, very impressed with it’s design, construction, functions, quality and ease of operations. It looks great on my Transit van. Being it’s a medium height roof I don’t want it to be any higher than it has to be. The low profile is nice. The height of van with Maxxfan open is 9 ft. 4 in. The etrailer installation video on the Transit was very helpful. I made a frame just as described on the video. Using the 2 x 2 ft. piece of 3/4 inch plywood to make the frame is the way to go. It provides the strength I needed due to the weight of my solar panel bracket just 3 inches away. The two screws you see near the edge of the frame is the solar panel bracket. A constructed picture frame style frame would never support the weight. It is a strong solid frame. The roof is solid.634921

Maxxair after 1 year is working great and looking good. I didn’t. Mention in my original review that I have it powered by my solar batteries. This way there is no problem with draining the truck battery. I can leave the van locked up and windows closed and exhaust the heat for hours when away exploring.

MaxxFan Delux roof vent has been installed in our camper van for one year. I absolutely love it. The TOP THREE features are:
3) when closed, it is closed, even pollen stays out and that is saying a lot
2) when open the rain stays outside, just like you really want it to do
#1) the temperature activated ON/OFF feature is wonderful - hold the button closest to the corner for 3 seconds to activate this amazing feature. When the interior temp is > 78 degree F the fan automatically turns on and the higher the temp, the higher the fan speed. It shuts off when it is cool enough in the van. So it is not using battery unnecessarily. Speaking of energy, there has been no noticeable drawdown on my battery even when the fan is running almost fulltime in the summer heat. With our newly added insulation and cedar siding, and the MaxxFan, our van is so much cooler than ever before. LOVE IT and highly recommend. Separate from the great product, the staff at eTrailer are top notch and go out of their way to make sure you are getting what you need. They were out of stock when we ordered, and attempted to help us find a different item in stock if we needed it asap. We were fine to wait for the smoke lid. But it was nice they called to see if we wanted slightly different model sooner than later. Nice human touch in a world of automated order and delivery.1340588

I installed it the day after it arrived in a 37' 2008 Forest River Georgetown RV in the master bedroom area since it only had an air conditioner, but no ceiling vent in that area. I cut a 14" x 14" hole in the ceiling and roof and installed it. Perfect fit, but quite a job to say the least. Not for the faint of heart.1630615
