Add this bug screen to your MaxxAir FanMate vent cover to help keep insects and debris out of your RV or enclosed trailer. It snaps into place behind the louvered vent area on the back of the cover.
Features:
This bug screen has 6 mounting tabs on both the top and bottom of the frame. The tabs allow you to easily snap the screen into place on your MaxxAir FanMate vent cover.

Hi there RV and camper owners. Today, we're going to be taking a look at MaxxFan's RV Vent Cover Screen. This bug deflector screen is designed specifically for MaxxAir's vent covers. It's designed to have the proper shape to fit on the back of it. So this way, when you've got your vent opened up and you're letting air in, you can ensure that no critters and insects are going to be coming inside to join you. It's a quick and easy installation because it just snaps in right on the backside of the vent cover.
And you can see here, it's going to add that extra layer of mesh behind the grills to keep anything out. Something like this is really useful if you like to sleep with your vents open. This is our customer's bedroom vent right here, and they like a little bit of air flow, like it cooler at night.So having something like this is going to ensure that the mosquitoes and other things aren't going to come in and join you. And you're not going to have a bad time when you wake up, you're just going to wake up refreshed with that fresh air that you're drawing in from the outside, whether you're in the mountains or down by the creeks. So now to insert your screen, it's going to sit like this.
I found that it was easier to put the screen in after you have your vent cover fully assembled. So we're going to put this back piece on. So you can see that these are elongated here and here, on each side. So we're just going to slide that up till it pokes through. And we're also going to do that on the other side, down here.
And then once you got them in there where they poke through, then just give it a twist. And with that elongated end there it's going to lock it in place. And then we're just going to push the top in until it clicks in here on the top.Now that we've got that inserted, we can go ahead and take our cover off. It's actually easier to put the screen in if you just had the whole thing off. So we're going to take the pins out of the sides, and that will allow us to lift the unit completely off of there.
We'll now take our screen. And there's three notches here. Those are going to line up at the bottom with the three clips. So just set that guy down in there. It'll line up there, and then all you need to do at that point is to push down on the tabs until they hook in on the lip right there.And now that we've got it clipped in all the way around, we can just re-install our cover over our vents. So it's just going to drop down on top. We'll line the ends up with our brackets and then slide our pins through to secure it. Put them up, to lock it in place. And once all the pins are secured, your vent cover has been installed, and you're now ready to enjoy the operation of your existing vent, without having to worry about any moisture or critters coming inside. And that completes our look at MaxxFan's, RV Vent Cover Screen.
Bug screen helps keep bound out of roof vent cover.
Properly constructed such that fitting the screen was easy and straight forward.
for "just popping in" I spent 45 minutes trying to get the bottom clips to fit into the slot on the FanMate louvers. When I did there was no lip for them to clip in to. I got them to "stay" but Im fairly sure it will pop out.
Also note my fanmate was a bear to put together as well, I may have gotten a bad pair
No matter how I struggled, this piece was about 1/4” too tall for the upper clips to snap into place. The clips on each end barely made it, but getting any of the others to clip resulted in the whole piece bowing out about 3/4” in the middle. I was so disgusted, I nearly just tossed it, but realized I owe eTrailer an honest review because they are a great retailer and I will continue to favor them as a supplier.
Screen is sufficient but the plastic locking clips are lame and do not work. Company should supply zip locks.
Doesn't even come close to fitting the intended roof vent cover. approximately 3/8 to 1/2" too large. If you do get it snapped in, it's warped beyond making any bug proof seal. The screen is sloppy and sticks out out beyond the frame and looks ratty (no offense to rats)
Lori was fantastic to work with! The items were exactly what we wanted and etrailer had the most competitive price. I’m very happy that I ordered from them.

1yr later the maxxair vent covers are working perfectly!! Tks for an excellent affordable product.
Be careful how you search on the website. I was searching for a filter for a new Maxxair II Fanmate roof vent cover and this filter was returned. I wrongly assumed that they fit both. The filter for the Maxxair II model turns out is wider. I contacted etrailer.com to see if I could return this one for a credit and purchase the correct one which they also carry, but was told that they do not do exchanges. At least it wasn't an expensive item. eBay and Amazon vendors in my experience are more flexible about returns.
Purchased from etrailer.com in the past where I received the same very good service with an easy-to-use website. Not having been on their website for a period of time I was surprised to find all the products for RV and Motorhome campers. Their prices are competitive and the MaxxAir Vent Cover Screen that was purchased was received within a very short period of time after ordering. Obviously etrailer.com has their act together.
I couldn’t get this to fit the Fanmate .

Quick delivery and well packaged. Ordered online and was easy to find on the etrailer website. Not the first time I've ordered with etrailer and always have had good experience.
It doesn't snap in flush and does take a bit of manipulation to get it seated right in the vent. Now imagine yourself on top of your camper doing this. The price is right but it should have been included with the vent from the beginning!
The screen is terrible quality. Right out of the package the screens were separated from the frame. There is no way for the insect screen to snap into the louvers. The locking tabs are just tabs, there is no way for it to snap in. I just wasted $34. When I ordered my MaxxAir vent covers, these screens were recommended at the bottom of the page. I would like to see a close up on the video where the guy says they snap in. Show me the snaps!

You can watch the installation at time stamp 2:19 and our installer demonstrates how to connect the screen to the vent.
I like the idea of an additional bug barrier. I noticed that the top edge of the screen, when installed, is taller than the grate. This made it very difficult to install. Plus the grate does not form to the main body of the hood like it should, in my opinion.
Good product, fast shipping
Fast standard shipping!!!
Installed ok was hard to get in was not told when I ordered it there was 2 different ones.

MaxxAir does offer two different bug screens. This screen installs behind the louvered vents on the back of the Fan Cover. The other screen is the Replacement Round Screen for Maxxair RV Roof Vents MA05-30925. This screen replaces the inner bug screen on the vent.

There was several reviews about poor fit up. It was challenging to get a good fit, not that difficult though.
Seem to be a great idea and are super easy to install! I only provided 4 stars because I don't know how effective they will be. Once I've had them for a while I will update the review.
Easy to install, and no mosquitos got passed it on our recent trip to the coast.
Worked well to keep rain out of vent
Tougher to get a good fit than I thought but finally got them fitted and installed. Still a very good product that will serve me well as a fulltime RVer.
Blessings,
Easy to install and stays in with no pr oblems.
just fine and dandy

That sounds really frustrating. I don't blame you for wanting to throw this thing out the window. Can I ask what Maxxfan model you have? These are specific to certain models. Let me know because I can help you get it returned if need be.
