Manual lift roof vent with LED light removes unwanted hot air and moisture from your RV's kitchen or bathroom. The fan circulates air like a ceiling fan when your vent is closed. Integrated rain shield lets you open your vent in any weather.
Features:
Specs:
The LED light acts as a convenient night light or accent light. Whether installed on your ceiling or sidewall, the light will assist in leading you to the restroom in the middle of the night or into the kitchen for a midnight snack.
The built-in rain shield surrounds the vent opening so that you can use it in rain or shine. The shield blocks rainwater and other debris from entering through the vent and damaging the interior of your RV or camper. It also eliminates the need to install a separate vent cover.
The fan guard protects your fan from water and debris when mounted on the side of your RV. The guard slides over your vent with the solid end facing up to block rainwater and allow run-off, while the slotted end faces down to allow ventilation. The fan guard also gives you peace of mind with small children around, as it provides the ultimate protection against accidental contact with fan blades.
The push-button handle lets you open and close the lid of your vent with ease - no hand-cranking needed. Simply push the button and push up to open the lid, or pull down to close the lid. Releasing the button automatically locks the lid in place. When the lid is closed, it provides a seamless, low-profile appearance.

Today we're going to take a look at the MaxxFan six inch diameter dome plus roof vent with a 12 volt fan and the LED lighting. Now this roof vent with the fan, you can control ventilation and moisture in small areas inside your RV or camper. This is perfect size for bathroom showers, and it is designed for you to rooftop or sidewall applications. This does include everything shown here on the table, the MaxxFan dome, the LED trim ring, six inch extension sleeve, and the fan guard.Now this is a six inch exhaust only fan, has a manual lift lid, the little lock and unlock with a single hand push button right here, so when you go to open it, you just push in and it'll lift it up, and then your fans right in there, and then when you go to close it, just push the button and pull it down. Very easy to open or close. It does offer removable screens for easy cleaning, and what's nice is on the inside when you install this, this would be your interior trim ring, that once this is installed will go around it.
It offers you a nice stylish LED lighting on this interior trim ring, allows you to operate your vent in the dark. At the end of this video I'm going to hook the LED ring up to some power to show you how bright it is and then we're going to hook the fan up to show you the fan operating.Now it does come with this matching fan guard, and that's used for sidewall applications. The reason they do that, is when this comes through at the side, you can put this fan guard on there and that'll actually prevent any weather, from debris from getting into your fan. But it also protects from any accidental contact with the fan blades, because you can see when you open this, those blades are right in there, so you don't want anybody touching those.Few specs on this, it's again designed to fit roofs or walls with a minimum thickness of one inch up to a maximum thickness of six inches. Now it does include this extension sleeve if your roof or wall is thicker than one inch.
If it's four inches thick, you'll just measure off, cut it off, and use this as an extension that would go between your fan and your ring there. Now this is designed to fit into a six and one quarter inch diameter opening. The voltage on this is 12 volts. Comes with a nice set of detailed instructions on how to install it, how it operates. It comes with the mounting screws to install it.What we're going to do now is go ahead and hook this up to some 12 volt power.
We'll go ahead and hook our white wire up to their ground, and then we'll hook our black wire up to our power. Then we'll go ahead and turn on our power. You can hear the fan operating. Let me go ahead and push this to open it. And the fans blowing in there.
There is an on and off button right here. If you push it, that'll click it off. If you push it again, then the fan starts up, really moves the air. You can see it blowing, really moves a lot of air. Going to go ahead and turn that back off.Now what I'm going to do is move this over to our light. Make sure we get our connections right. 12 volt powered at a black, white is our ground. That also has a push button just like the fan does. You can see when you push the ring, the light will come on. Go ahead and turn off the overhead light, you can see it's a very bright LED light. Again, that'll be on the inside underneath the fan. Push it for off, push it again for on. Turn back on our overhead lights. Turn off our power.But that should do it for the review on the Maxxfan six inch diameter dome plus roof vent with the 12 volt fan and the LED lighting.

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

Quick ship. Install in my 66 Airstream was a breeze. I put 1 in front and 1 in back to circulate air, which the originals just couldn't do very well. 556851

Great fan for the price. Installation was easy. You will spend time removing the old dicor on the roof if you are replacing a fan like we did but it was worth it. 553408

Had heard good things about etrailer, so I thought I would give them a shot...They did not disappoint....They had the Maxxair fan that I wanted for my RV.....They priced matched as advertised.. Delivery was as indicated and they followed up to make sure I got what I wanted and was satisfied.... Can't ask for much more.....Will definitely buy from them down the road.....Thanks 614790
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
They still work but 2 out of the 3 fans squeak at low speed.. which I feel is a little premature for only being a year old. When really they started squeaking at 6months. All in all they do a great job of exchanging the air in our rig.. 719771

The Maxxair Deluxe fan works better than expected. We ordered the version without a remote and are extemely happy with the product. It took me a while to get around to putting it in my motorhome as I thought I would have to fish wires through my ceiling insulation, but when I remove the vent (with no fan) there were wires for the 12 volt lights already passing through the opening. Some YouTube videos warned against using power to your lights to power your fan since they are switched. Each light in our motorhome has its own switch in addition to the switch up front that controls them all. I just have to leave the main switch on and turn each individual light off. We do that anyway most of the time so it worked out fine. The vent fan was pretty easy to install and I am not the most handy person you will ever meet. As always the fine people at etrailer were friendly and helpful and they have at least as good a price as anyone and better than most. Very happy camper. 497875
Timothy J - 04/20/2019Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
Purchased to install in fifth wheel bedroom, where no fan existed, just a roof vent. Most time consuming was removing the old vent. The caulking removal was a real labor intensive operation. The factory must have used a fire hose to apply the stuff. Once the vent removed and the caulking mostly removed, the install of the maxxair went pretty smooth. Putty tape (purchased from local shop) under the rim, several stainless screws (15), came with fan, then finish roof top install with self leveling caulk around rim and on screw heads. Inside had to tie into 12v wiring at bathroom fan and fish wires to bedroom vent hole, less than 4 feet. Made connections, put on interior trim, and now wait for next RV outing to test efficiency. Works great in driveway. And one more thing, I also installed a Maxxair II vent cover in black. Helps to darken bedroom along with protecting vent. 279793

My backyard Tuff Shed workshop has a turbine vent fan, which really doesn't work all that well. Over the years I've tried various powered fans, but have never been satisfied with the results. Now that it needs a roof, I was thinking about a solar roof fan. Since I have a 400 watt, 12 volt solar system for security lighting, I realized I could use a fan similar to the one in my RV. The installation was very easy, and the quality of the fan is excellent. Not having to worry about closing the lid for rain is great, and the automatic thermostat is a wonderful set and forget feature. I'm especially impressed how quiet it is. 547600

Nicely engineered unit that, with Maxxairs' thorough instructions, installed without difficulty. A nice addition to our fifth wheel... Equally important, the service from etrailer was top notch, the product was in stock, was shipped quickly and was priced competitively. We'll be back... 643823

We have had our fan for over a year now and love it! It's well built and works great! etrailer.com was very helpful in our purchase and we would use them again. 694088
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
Installation was easy and simple. As long as you seal it correctly, you’ll love this product. I installed it in a back room of my 34’ tag-along. Kids were complaining that it was stuffy and no air flow. I did about a weeks worth of research and product research and found this product. It works wonderfully! We primarily use the exahust function. With the integrated rain shield, you won’t have to worry when it’s raining outside. I was a little disappointed in the distributing service from eTralier. I was initially told that the product was not in available stock and the item had to come from the distributor. After about the third e-mail notifying me of the same delay, I called and expressed my disappointment. I received the product 2 days after that phone call was made. 443611
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
Good quality and perfect for my needs! I had one installed in the bedroom and one in the living room to replace current vents and it creates great air circulation. Haven't tested yet whether it can be open while it's raining. 680222
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
Great fans. We boondock a lot so don't use the AC much, so two of these give it lots of airflow and keeps us pretty cool in our 21' TT. They have lots of air flow to clear out the heat in just a few minutes. They are totally silent on low and not very loud on high (Some say quieter than the Superfan). When we cook we reverse the flow to blow in and pressurize the odors and smoke out the hood vent and kitchen window. The only recommendation I have is to consider the one with the remote control. My wife is 5'0" and cannot reach the controls to open the vent nor turn it on/off. 544636

Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
etrailer does a great job getting items sent out and customer service is great. Very helpful with questions. The fan I replaced with the Maxxfan 5100 was in the bedroom of the 5th wheel and had the automatic lift lid and in the middle of the night would open and close and was quite loud. That's why I bought the manual lift. It works fine for us. Have used it for a full summer now without issue. I have noticed that the old fan did move more air than this one but hasn't been an issue for us. The only thing I don't like is when you set the temperature on automatic this little green light comes on and stays on. It is bright enough that it lights up the whole bedroom all night. Will find some black tape to cut and put over it. Was easy to install as other reviews have stated. Cleaning up the old dicor off the rubber roof was the only thing that took some time. Very happy with it. 561770
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
It's been a year since we installed our first Maxxfan Deluxe Vent W/ 12v Fan - Manual - 10 Speed - White.... 1) It wasn't too difficult to remove the old fan and install the new one. Took a little patience with the first install, but by the third (we have three fans) it was a piece of cake. Don't forget to use Decor to ensure everything is sealed properly. 2) These fans are very powerful. The one in my bathroom will actually suck the door shut. When we set the one the living area to blow air in and the one in the bedroom to blow air out, air really moves and cools down the rv fast. 3) They are way more quiet compared to my old original fans. Only when I have them on the highest setting to I notice they are on. 4) The built in rain vent is very useful given that if it is raining the only air we get is through the fan vents as all the windows must be closed. 4) My only disappointment has been with the way the fan blades are designed, the air moves more sideways near the ceiling (which is good as hot air rises) but when it is really hot and I'm lying in bed I would like the air to blow downwards so I can feel it. 558588

I purchased this MaxxAir MaxxFan to replace a stock vent/fan that came on my teardrop camper. The most important thing to me was that the fan was quiet as it is only about 4 feet away while sleeping. This fan is so quiet that I can barely hear it on low and on high we can talk in normal tones and hear the television over it just fine. With the stock fan on we could not hear the TV even with the volume at max and could barely stand to leave it on while sleeping. The sleek profile actually adds style to the teardrop. My second hope is that it moves enough air that we won't need to use A/C - so far so good, this fan moves so much air that my curtains go sideways (and can still hear crickets outside) and the 10 speeds let me get it just perfect. Auto on at 78 degrees, reversible, ceiling fan... all nice bonuses. 100% satisfied with this product - Follow the directions, install is relatively easy, solid product. Hardest part for me was correcting the original opening which was not square. I used an oscillating tool to cut the inside shroud down, it was pretty quick but left some cleanup, not sure if it was ultimately any easier than using the prescribed hacksaw. 561667

Not really happy with this product. Expensive fan that will not run for three minutes without turning itself off. Called the mfg , they said bad board they sent a replacement board , worked great for a week now it is back to turning itself off again!!! Not etrailers fault , just a sorry & expensive piece of junk. Wish i had bought the fantastic fan instead. How hard is it to build a 12 volt fan???? 552948

Xcellnt Vent - Installed my vent a yr ago (long story), but only made it operational 10-2018, so I Very much like that it's manual, so i could open/close it without power. Best feature, dual lift arms. Able to drive with the vent open without the lid flapping "Very Stable". A great "Basic" fan vent without all fancy stuff like Rain Sensor, Thermostat, Variable Speed, like my last one that ends up not working after parts are no longer available. 4 speeds is enough. It's Quiet. Lifetime Lid Warranty "Awesome", my last one spider cracked from UV. Only option I'd like to see is "reverse". Doesn't feel like it's moving much air with the lid closed but I have not as yet used it as a ceiling fan to circulate heat. If it does it will be the perfect vent. I will be putting it to that test in the coming months so the jury is still out on that one. 583861
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
We ordered and DIY-installed two of these MaxxAir fans to replace ineffective and aging vent fans in our 5th wheel RV. Installation was straightforward using the easy-to-understand instructions. All the necessary hardware is included, although you'll need some butyl tape and self-leveling sealant to complete the installation on the rooftop. We love the ease of operation, the relatively quiet 10-speed fan, and the ability to use the fan even during a rain. The mounting bracket that fits the 14" roof opening is a one-time install, meaning that you don't have to tear into the roof and sealant again should you ever need to replace the fan and cover unit with the same or similar model. I agree with all the other positive reviews I've read about this product. 680545

This is my second purchase of this fan. The first one went away when I sold my van. My new van will be receiving this one. I was so satisfied with my previous MaxxFan that purchasing a second one was a no-brainer. Quiet and reliable with a number of useful features. Note the double brackets supporting the top, unlike other competing vents. This is my third purchase from etrailer. Their prices are great and shipping is fast. 546143
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
I love these fans. When I bought a caravan I removed the fantastic fan for one of these because it can be left open when it rains....I rarely ever closed it just so I had airflow in the caravan. Now I have a van, installed it for the same reason. Expensive, but worth it in the long run. I wish they offered a non translucent top model. 662099
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
Nice fan, I put a 7000 over bed and installed this one over cabover in Class C. Install was easy and identical to the 7000. They need to include self taping screws to attach collar to roof, mine has a metal frame and included screws are for wood. It does have a thermostat button preset at 78 degrees so if you leave open it will pull or push air when cab reaches 78. 7000 has a remote and motor on lift, thats the only difference. 515231
