Manual lift roof vent 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 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.

Ellen: Hey everyone, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com. Today, we're taking a look at the MaxxFan Dome Roof Vent. This is going to have a 12 volt fan and a six inch diameter, and basically, this is just going to be a nice little exhaust fan for your bathroom or shower in your RV. It can be mounted in the roof or in a side wall, so you can either have it vertically or horizontally mounted, and it's just an easy opening vent. To open that up, you just have this little push button on the handle, push up on that, and it opens up our vent to the outside, so we can exhaust the air. Now the fan can't be reversed as far as pulling air in, it's just going to allow air to escape, so it is an exhaust only fan.There's two wires to connect to run that fan, and it comes with an extension, if our walls are thicker than an inch, so we'll have about a six inch extension here to get everything sealed up.
It also has a shield, so if we want to use this in the side wall configuration, you'll mount this so that the solid portion is at the top, and that acts as a rain and debris guard to make sure that nothing can get in there and cause any damage, but also is going to help to prevent any obstructions getting in there and causing a collision with our blades.I'm going to grab a power source and plug my fan in, so you can actually get an idea of what it sounds like, because I know that sound can sometimes be a concern for folks. So there's just again, those two wires to connect. So my ground is going to go to the white wire, power goes to black wire, turn that on, and then there's a push button to actually turn the fan on and off. So you can hear how loud that fan is. Not too loud.
This is kind of a small fan, so it shouldn't cause too much issues there, but it's pushing out a nice amount of air to help exhaust our room, and get that warm, moist air out of our RV, and keep everything a little bit cooler inside there.It does come with the hardware to get everything mounted up, and also the two butt connectors, so we can make our electrical connection for our power and ground. So all in all, a pretty nice compact exhaust fan for our RV or our camper. I'll give you some measurements to think about, to make sure that this is the right fit for you. And the fan itself inside there is going to be a six inch diameter, and that's going to be this inner portion here, the rough cutout.Its overall dimension from this outside edge to outside edge is about eight inches. From the inside portion it's about...
Or the lower portion that would be actually mounted to our roof or our side wall, that's more like nine inches wide. Whenever we have this closed down, it extends up by about three inches tall. Open it up, it's going to sit up above our surface by about three and three quarter inches, so it just moves about three quarters of an inch in travel.It does have a fuse installed, so we don't have to worry about any shorts backfeeding into our RV's electrical system. It's going to be a five amp fuse, and this does work with 12 volt power. Our extension here measures six inches long by six inches in diameter, and then the collar ring that finishes off the look inside there, outer diameter of that is about eight and a half inches.We've also got all the screws that we need to get everything in place.
Now, this kit is available in black and it's also available with an LED lighted interior ring, so if you want to get those, you can find those right here at etrailer.com, and that's again, both available in black or white, and with the LED or without the LED. So check those out if you're interested.But that's going to do it for our look at the MaxxFan Dome Roof Vent. I hope this video has been helpful in determining if this is going to be the right thing for you. Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time.

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.
Needed a smaller fan for our bathroom. Fits and works perfectly in our Rpod 180!
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.
Fast shipping great price thanks
Haven't installed the fan yet - rating based on ease of ordering and quickness of processing. Thanks!
Was exactly what I was looking for. Was delivered very fast.
Everything as promised. Jane did an excellent job getting my order to me in quickly
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
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

I purchased this maxxfan to replace the roof vent unit that came on our camper. This new vent fan is whisper quiet and best of all it can remain open while its raining. The install was easy and it fit the original hole perfectly. Used the TremPro 644 sealant also sold by etrailer and the install came out perfect. Thank You! etrailer for quick shipments and quality products.

MA00-06200K -MaxxAir deluxe 10speed fan I bought this to replace the standard Fantastic Fan that was in my teardrop camper. Best upgrade ever!! The MaxxAir is SO quiet & moves the air!! The low profile smoke color lid is nice too.
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
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.

I havent hooked it up to power yet but the install was easy once I got the hole in the van the right size. I did opt for getting different hardware. I purchased machines screws and bolts, which worked much better than the wood screws the fan came with.
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
The product was back-ordered but the communication was excellent around when the product would be back in stock And they received it and sent it out exactly when they said they would. Product was in perfect condition. Couldn't be happier with the service from etrailer.com

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.
Deryk - 06/29/2020Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
I use my van for construction as well as camping. I wanted an all weather fan to keep it more comfortable. I just installed the MaxxAir fan today and so far is seems great. I followed the install video for my Nissan NV2500 on etrailer.com and everything went perfectly. The only thing in did differently was use pvc board instead of plywood for the pack out material. It looks great and functions great. I would highly recommend this product.
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
Received product very fast and in perfect shape. the only done side was that we had to buy n adjustable voltage drop regulator in order to hook it up in our camper do to the fan very picky on voltage over 13 volts but other than that, when its was hooked up the fan is awesome. Just wish Maxxair ciuld of done it better with the voltage issue. Great product!!!
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
We installed this in our fifth wheel bedroom. Installation was easy in our case. It is very quiet, works well and has been reliable. A few things we've noted: 1.) We have three different models of MaxxFans in our trailer and each has an unnecessarily dissimilar interface, ex., to power off, on one unit you press the power button multiple times and on another, there is a separate power off button. Second ex. , to change fan speed, one model you press the power button multiple times, on another, there are high-low speed arrow buttons. Of course, this is only an issue because we have three different models in our trailer.; 2.) The "ceiling fan mode" where the fan reverses and sends air into the room is not particularly effective because the blade is so close to the vent cover and can't move any air. Despite those two small issues, we are very happy with our purchase and would buy again. Also note that the white vent cover BLOCKS more light than the black. We didn't realize that at purchase and there is no way to change the vent cover once installed.

Ronald - 04/22/2021Review 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.
H K - 08/05/2020Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
Overall, I think the fan is a great addition and improvement to my, or any, camper. I installed it in the bathroom to replace the typical small fan vent you get from a manufacturer. I only wish it was able to go in reverse so it could blow in air. This one only pulls out.
Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
Working on building a custom camper and this is just what I needed for a roof fan. Haven't installed it yet, but I did connect it up to a battery just to see how much air it would move. It's very quiet on speeds 1 and 2. 3 and 4 are a little noisier but it can really move a ton of air once its spun up that fast. I was really impressed with what this little fan can do.
Kevin J - 04/30/2021Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
I have used etrailer for years and continue to be impressed with their products, support and reasonable pricing. Recently installed a MaxxAir vent fan in my high top van and it is a fantastic fan. Great quality, quiet and powerful! Highly recommend etrailer and this product
Edmund - 02/04/2021Review from a similar MaxxFan in RV Vents and Fans
Site could use one or two filters to help customers decide which unit to purchase. There is a large number to browse through. Purchase was easy. Unit properly described, shipping boxes were well packed. Unit installed easily, due to etrailer's how to install video. Happy with purchase and easy of installation. Will buy from etrailer again. Thank you.

I run this fan with the solar for when the van is parked.
