This roof vent moves 900 CFM of air with a 12-volt, 10-speed fan that can pull hot air out or draw fresh air in. Auto mode uses the built-in thermostat to switch the fan on and off as needed, keeping the temperature steady without wasting power. When the vent is closed, the fan runs in ceiling-fan mode to circulate air inside and prevent the space from getting stuffy.
A built-in rain shield keeps water out even when the vent is open, so you can run the fan during rain without worrying about leaks. The smoke-tinted dome is made of high-density polyethylene and gives a smooth, low-profile look when closed. There’s no need to add a separate vent cover—the shield and dome already protect the opening.
Operate the vent from the remote’s LCD screen or the flush-mounted keypad on the unit. You can open or close the dome, change fan direction, adjust speed, and set temperature right from where you are. The remote stores in a wall cradle and includes 2 AAA batteries. If power ever goes out, a manual knob underneath lets you open or close the dome by hand.
Two powered lifting arms raise and lower the dome automatically, so there’s no hand-cranking. The twin-arm design keeps the cover stable in high winds or while driving. The motor is fuse-protected and sealed against dust and moisture for long-term reliability.
The vent fits a 14" x 14" roof opening and works with roof thicknesses from 1-1/8" to 6-1/2". A white interior garnish, insulated connectors, and hardware are included. The mounting flange has a rubber weather seal to prevent leaks once secured with roof sealant (sold separately). When closed, the vent sits 5" above the roof and 9-5/16" when open, giving a solid, weather-tight finish.

I replaced the factory installed vent fan in my Winnebago Micro Minnie 2106DS with the Maxxair Fan 7500k. I did the work myself and found it very easy to do. I love the the Maxxair it really moves the air and the design with the rain shield is absolutely brilliant! I’m going to replace the other vent at the opposite end of the trailer. [Thumbs up]
Designed and manufactured well. Functions well. But the lifespan could be greatly enhanced if all the electronics were clear coated to prevent moisture from decaying boards and electronics. This is my 2nd unit. I took it on myself to coat everything with acrylic to prevent corrosion and moisture exposure.
After a year a small amount of stickiness to open after sitting closed for a several months. Very quiet and for a small Sprinter camper it works as designed. I seldom run it at full power which is about 45 watts. Usually about 20% which only uses about 12 watts. Nice to have the multiple settings. In a small van like this I probably could have gotten by with the manual only model. But the remote has temperatures on its display so that is nice to have. All in all a well made product.
Very Quiet, looks great, powerful. I installed this myself in a T@B 400 (teardrop). Wasn't originally going for one with a remote, but it's very handy, and I'm glad I bought this model. The "smoke" cover color option lets in light, but not too much. I've camped in extremely windy-rainy conditions and no water gets inside. Camping in the trees now, and no leaves or pine needles get in. And you can't beat the helpful good folks at etrailer. Great customer service and price.
Put this in to get heat out of semi. Open side vent and turn fan on high exhaust wow what a game changer.

Still working great game changer for moving air
This is the second install of a MaxxFan for me. The one pictured was done earlier this year in my daughters Transit Connect. What a great little fan! It was a challenge getting this fan to fit along with 200 watts of solar panels. In the end, I couldn't be happier with the results. It looks and functions perfectly! Finishing it off inside with the headliner in place was also challenging, but it looks terrific inside and out.
She's currently living the vanlife somewhere out west. I hear all the time how great the fan works in keeping the temperature comfortable. The best feature of this fan compared to it's competitor, is that you don't need to worry about leaving it open during foul weather, or driving down the highway with it open, for that matter. With "brand-X" you better close it during rain, and make sure its closed while driving.
Because I was so impressed how her fan installed, works, and looks, it was a no brainer getting another one for my current van build, (a 2015 full size Transit Wagon.) This time I got the Deluxe version with remote control.
One more thing. DO GET THE ADAPTER !!! Look on eBay, you'll find it. It makes life so easy installing this fan, or even brand-X... He tells you to use Urethane Window Adhesive (From Napa) for the installation. We did on the first one, and it worked OK. I've used 3M 4200 Marine sealant on other stuff, and it's awesome. I will skip using the Urethane this next time, and use 4200 exclusively. If you use 3M 5200, its' also great stuff, but be advised, it will not come off of anything without being cut, or ground off. The 4200 can be removed with acetone. Also, DO use the GE Sealant they talk about here, great stuff. And, the DICOR self-leveling sealant is great stuff as well.
Shipping was quick and on time! Bridgette with eTrailer is awesome! Thanks Bridgette. Price can't be beat.
Good luck to all on your Van builds.
We dry camp mostly and AC will not run off of solar power. The Max Fan Vent will help move air in or out of the camper. I also have a small space heater that runs on our propane. The ceiling fan feature will be a nice way to maximize the effects of the heater. The furnace is fine when it is freezing out but uses much propane. The little heater is just fine for those cool evenings and chilly mornings. The Max Fan will make it even better.
Great quality. Enjoy remote control
Excellent fan. Fast shipping from etrailer. I ordered this to replace the same manufacturer’s 6” round fan on a pickup truck cap camper build (required cutting a larger hole). This one is extremely quiet and moves air very well. I was hesitant to cut such a large hole in my Leer 180 fiberglass cap but so far so good. My mounting surface is around 3/4” thick (less than the recommended min 1 1/8”) but was able to mount without issue. Just had to purchase 3/4” SS screws to avoid going completely through both fiberglass layers. Based on other reviews, I used a silicone conformal spray to protect the circuit board from moisture prior to installing
I was looking to replace the ceiling vent in our fifth wheel with an electric fan with remote, so I wouldn’t have to use a step stool to open and close the vent. Since the stock vent had no electrical running to it, I had to find a 12v source near it that was not on a switched circuit and that could handle the amperage draw. I had a light above the sink and decided to pull out the microwave to see if 12v wires ran behind it. I was fortunate enough to find 12v wires running through the microwave cabinet, so I used a steel fish tape and ran my Wires through the ceiling to the top cabinet and down through to the microwave cabinet and spiced the new wires to the existing 12v wires. I really thought this install was going to be a lot harder, but it was really easy and took less than two hours. I can only give the fan four stars, because fan really hasn’t been used much yet, but so far I really like it.
Over the the years I have had these in all my rvs work fantastic and last in
I installed the Maxxfan Deluxe 7500 in place of my factory bathroom vent fan in my Winnebago View. This was a great upgrade as it now provides air circulation throughout my motorhome vs. just being a bathroom vent. The installation was easy as it fit in the same opening with just some slight trimming of interior trim due to the wider interior bezel. The automatic temperature option as well as the ability to control the unit with a remote control makes it very easy to use.
I am still happy with the 7500K fan a year later. Installation was straightforward - removing the existing vent (and cleaning off the caulk) was the hardest part. I like the way the unit attaches to the mounting ring, so it can be easily removed if needed. I did not have a problem aligning the screw holes as another reviewer encountered. The fan is in the bath above the shower and we run it on low to remove the humidity when showering. I mounted the remote control on the wall where it has a direct line-of-sight path to the fan, so we don't ever need to take the remote out of the wall cradle. One problem with the fan is that when it is off it still has a current draw of about 20 ma (per the factory). My travel trailer does not have a battery disconnect, so that 20 ma draw is enough to discharge the battery over many months in storage. To correct this, I installed a toggle switch on the fan (see photo) which I can use to totally power down the unit. A second complaint I have relates to "auto mode" where the fan shuts off at a preset temperature. I planned to use this at night, to have the fan cool off my RV until it reaches a nice temperature, and then shut off. Problem is that when the temperature is reached, not only does the fan shut off, but the lid automatically closes. The lid closing is noisy enough to wake us up. As a result, I find auto mode to be pretty useless. But overall, the fan is quiet, moves a good amount of air, and can be left open rain or shine (I leave it open in storage to get some air circulation). Finally, I made current draw measurements at each speed, which some folks might find useful: OFF ~10 mA, 1 ~100 mA, 2 ~150 mA, 3 ~230 mA, 4 ~350 mA, 5 ~500 mA, 6 ~700 mA, 7 ~950 mA, 8 ~1.30 A, 9 ~1.6 A, 10 ~2.4 A.
Deciding to install this on our 2018 Keystone Outback was a great idea! We took out our main cabin A/C unit (which had broke) and put this in its place. It was so easy. Done with the complete change out in 4 hours! It performs perfectly. Remote is easy to use.
It's been pretty warm where we are the last couple of days and this has kept us cool and comfortable. Highly recommend!
Great fan however this is a replacement for the fan we purchased and installed 2 years ago, hope this one lasts longer.
Product was excellent and the installation videos on the website were invaluable!

Thanks for the feedback and for including photos, Korry! I'm happy we could help make the installation process easier on you. Do you have any adventures planned?
Initially I was real apprehensive about getting this fan installed on my 16’ Casita. Not because I didn’t want the fan, believe me I did. The specifications alone were impressive, but the ability to run it like a ceiling fan, with the vent closed was hands down the most impressive feature. Something my little Dachshund Cinnamon would surely attest to. The front mounted ac unit in the 16’ Casita benifits greatly from this fan, it circulates the air better, cools things quicker and, helps maintain the temperature better. There is little information about putting this on a Casita, much less a 16’ one, but I’m happy with my decision to do so. This fan is awesome, and Etrailer was very helpful with information on my purchase. Another note was that I’m happy Terry my installer did this project, the factory installed Fan was riveted in from the top, and removing it wouldn’t have been a typical by the book procedure. Thanks George J. I’m one happy camper, and that’s without mentioning the remote control, air flow on low settings, great price, fast delivery, or quietness of the product.
Sincerely,

Still going strong. I can’t say enough positive things about this fan. It’s hard to imagine life without it. The air flow created by using this fan with a cracked window is impressive, and that’s without placing it on the highest setting, something I rarely do unless it’s to cool things off while away.
I just replaced my 2018 Max Fan with this new one. I replaced the circuit board last year on previous Max Fan and it quit again so replaced entire fan. I also had problems with previous Max Fan when I had solar panels operating. Hopefully the new Max Fan performs better.
I haven’t installed it yet, but it looks very straight forward. I’m excited to see how this new installation goes. Service in the future will be very easy if needed.
I had a MaxxFan roof vent/fan on a previous vehicle, and it worked great. I bought this to replace an AC that I wasn't going to use. The installation instructions were straightforward and easy to follow. The E-trailer installation video was helpful as well. Less than an hour on my RV roof, including cleaning/preparation.
Replaced the 4" Friday Night Fajita Fart Fighter " fan in the bathroom with this one. The thermostat control works well on the one I installed in the kitchen, needed it here, as well! There are several key benefits to this model: 1. The lid I'd always protected by the integrated fan shroud, you can use this in arain shower and it doesn't close up on you,
2. The fan shroud allows it to be left open on travel days(or let the thermostat open it for you).
3. The thermostat can be used to minimize the heat rise when the sun shines, and it automatically closes when temp is met.
4. Can pull air in, as well as push it out. Used in conjunction with another fan, it can create a nice draft to cool the RV.
5. It is compatible with the options wall switch. My wife is "vertically challenged" and cannot reach a fan. Mounted control. (You could wire it with an existing switch to turn it on/off, but it will return to its last setting when powered on.)
5. The included remote is easy to use. Clear LCD screen, easy to program and use.

This might be one of my favorite upgrade stories yet. Sounds like the Friday Night Fajita Fart Fighter finally met its match Chris! I really appreciate how you broke down the real-world benefits, especially the rain-ready shroud, thermostat control, and being able to leave it open while traveling. That airflow flexibility and the ability to create a cross-breeze is exactly what makes this fan such a standout upgrade. Also, great callout on the wall switch and remote. Those little usability details make a big difference. Thanks for the thorough, funny, and genuinely helpful review. It’s going to be a big help to other RVers looking at this fan. What trip are you most looking forward to this year?
We are loving the MaxxFan Deluxe and the convenience that we can set it to automatically open based on temperature inside the rig. We also love that we can change the speed. We purchased this product based on reviews and we were not disappointed. We have an older rig and the old fan had 4 wires instead of 2 that it comes with the MaxxFan. We called Josh at etrailer and he talked us through what we had to do while staying on the phone with us while we did it and tested it. We are new to full-time RV life and making upgrades. etrailer is our go to especially if we are unsure what we need. We call and they help us figure it out.
The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent is wonderful! I am very glad that I purchased and installed it as soon as I purchased the trailer. We keep the vent open when the RV is in storage and never get any water inside. I strongly recommend this product as well as etrailer. Both are great.
This should be standard equipment. It is a total gamechanger! Now I do not have to go inside to turn on the fan for everyone! The etrailer videos were amazing and accurate. Installation was easy and exactly like the video. Removing the old unit was a royal pain! The manufacturer used the self-leveling compound to glue it to the roof! It took me 2 hours to remove the old compound! Once I did, the rest was easy. Overall, I am very glad that I installed this!
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).

Ventfan still working great. Batteries on remote need replaced every couple months, but otherwise, we really like the ventfan.

After less than a year I am more displeased than ever! The lift motor failed on the new unit and Maxxair first, sent the wrong part, then when trying to contact them for correct part, they have been impossible to reach. Left voice mail and submitted request for contact 3 times and after a total of nearly 3 hours on hold, I have given up! Looking for an alternative to the Maxxair deluxe fan
