Product was just installed. Was very easy to install and works very well

Top of the line!Shipped fast, and I like all the follow ups. We'll have to wait and see about product reliability, although it feels and looks like it is built well.

this vent made it simple to install a power vent in my ice fish house trailer to exhaust fuelms after drilling the holes in the ice.

Vent arrived quickly in great shape. Price was excellent. They upgraded the shipping as well!

Arranged for installation by local Camping World.



by:

My son finally got the roof vent hooked up he ordered from you, he hooked it up with a solar panel in the back of his 86' suburban to get more air back there.



by:

This was for a full replacement (same fan, from 1996) of the shower vent fan in our Airstream B190 camper van. We needed a minimum of the screen, fan blades and top cover, so I figured let's get it all. Once I cut away the old caulk, reassembly was fairly easy, being careful on the ladder. As in previous transactions, etrailer ships quickly, and their pricing is hard to beat.



by:

To order was easy,very fast delivery, installation on teardrop camper went as I thought it would,works to vent camper, works very good. Quiet and looks good , I like it. GB.



by:

Exact replacement for vent on my 2006 Gulfstream class "B". Mounted using existing holes. Was originally told item was on backorder but received shipping confirmation same day order was placed. Delivered two days later. Outstanding customer service, competent and knowledgeable staff. Would most definitely recommend etrailer.



by:

Fan is a good replacement. It works well. But I do think the screws to install it should come with it. I do not want to pay $66 for butyl tape, sealant and screws (the sealant and tape I already have). Other than having to use the old screws, I’m happy with it.

Fan arrived quickly and was an exact replacement for our Hail storm damaged unit. Thanks eTrailer!

This unit was an exact replacement for the Escape installed vent that was destroyed by a freak hail storm. Still working great.

Our hunt club has 2 pit blinds that are used for waterfowl hunting. Each blind is essentially a concrete box with walls, floor and top 4 inches thick and dimensions of 12'x5'x5'. Each blind is buried to a depth of 5 foot to where the top is flush with ground level. Access is through the top using 24 inch wide manhole lids that are made of high density plastic. The cooler air inside of the blinds clashing with warmer air absorbed by the concrete and manhole lids at ground level caused condensation that made the inside damp and smelly. We only hunt 3 months each year, so needed a vent solution for the other 9 months the blinds were not in use. We also needed something that could be powered by DC voltage from a solar panel due to the remote location. In July 2015 we installed each fan into a manhole cover and used water-tight conduit and electrical boxes to run the wiring from the solar panel to each fan. Great solution! Once enough daylight hits the solar panel the fan blades start moving and run constantly until sundown. Will see how long these things last but so far so good

It has been a trial and error experience this past year, but now believe we have things figured out. We outsmarted ourselves and upped the wattage of the solar panel array this spring to run a pump and the fans, but didnt properly calculate the impact that would have on the fans. Bottom line, we sent too much juice to the fans and fried the motors. Luckily, etrailer sold replacement motors. Replacement was a breeze, and lesson learned. After that we split the solar panel array and now the correct voltage and amps are being used and no issues whatsoever. We also had a battle with mice getting inside the fan housing when not operating and making nests, which was a real mess. Solved that by opening the adjustable fan housing just enough to circulate air but not enough for Mickey and his friends to make a condo in the fan housing. Knock wood, the lessons learned this past year should make for trouble free operation from now on. I know that we are not using these vent fans in vehicles, campers or trailers as the majority of you do or intend to do. If we can make these fans do the job in our application, using these fans as intended in a vehicle, camper or trailer using a 12 volt battery and not solar panels and staying clear of rodents should be a breeze.

Hello all.
I have a 1973 Apache Pop
up, the original vent was missing so I looked online for a replacement and I came across this ventline vanaire roof vent, the vent fit perfectly in the original location of the old vent . This pop up has hard sides when you bring the roof down the side walls meet in the center but leave a gap between each other the handle for the vent fits perfectly in the gap. This memorial weekend we vacationed at Lake Isabella and it gets windy when the vent was closed it stayed closed no matter how strong the wind was. It was a success and worked perfectly. Thanks and I am a happy camper.

A year later and Everything works perfect still looks new. Never had a problem , no leaks no noises all around a perfect product thanks. I forget its on cause its so quiet ??.



by:

The installation was easy, the fan does a great job. Thanks



by:

Ordered two - one was not packaged in original packaging - had a couple of cosmetic scratches on the trim - received replacement -
Thought that if your going to send an open item you should let the customer know in advance - service was great as always.

This little fan is working absolutely perfect in my homebuilt teardrop trailer. It's small size and low profile make it perfect for this project. It would even open if I installed a roof rack which is the main reason I avoided the larger 12x12 roof vent fans not to mention it was a fraction of the cost. It looks great and works excellent. Hot evenings are not an issue with this fan providing great ventilation, drawing heat out the roof and pulling in cool air through the doors. I highly recommend this fan. It was extremely easy to install and seals up tight with no leaks or issues of any kind.

We purchased this product to go in our truck cap as part of a camper build-out in the bed of our truck. This roof vent fit the requirements for size. One of the the limitations was we needed to address our roof rack, and the need to have the vent open with the kayak on the roof. The other concern was with the thickness of the cap, or the lack of consistency in thickness. So trimming of the vent trim ring was necessary.
When we first turned the vent on it didn't seem like it was drawing any air, so we did a smoke test with the vent and it was working just fine! This was done as a quick test. Now we have the vent connected to the aux battery fuse block and run it while we are working on the rest of the interior build-out. It makes a noticeable difference when it's on.
It is a little bit noisy, so we'll see if it keeps me awake at night.

I bought this 6" fan a year ago and it is still going strong.
I mounted it vertically on the rear wall of my van conversion boxvan(RV Off-Grid Campervan) about 7" from the ceiling. It was a good fit because I didn't want to cut a hole in my roof and my ceiling. It pulls all of the hot air out of the room within less than a minute. If you want to mount yours vertically as well it will operate just fine with no flaws. Water has never leaked through the unit at all even while mounted on the wall instead of the roof. I recently recommended this fan to someone who needed a fresh air fan for summer as well in a van. Perfectly satisfied with this fan, recommend it and would buy again if the need arises!
Thank You



by:

If it lasts as long as the original one that was installed in my custom made sleeper on my 1980 Peterbult I will be very happy and it shows no signs of not lasting as long as the 1st one installed it a Double Eagle sleeper from Shipshewana Indiana



by:

I am in the midst of bringing a 1979 Avion trailer back to its former glory. Lots of updating and repairs underway. The trailer came with a hole in the bathroom ceiling instead of the vent fan that once lived there. I searched around and found this vent fan, and at the best price here at etrailer. Perfect fit! Installation was a piece of cake. I am very happy with this product and etrailer and will continue shopping here as the renovation continues.



by:

The fan moves a lot of air and is quieter than the original. Can't ask for much more than that.



by:

We use one of these in every trailer we make. They are reliable, easy to install, and attractive. We do install them on the side of the trailer, as we don't like to make holes in our roof.



by:

A direct replacement for the original bathroom vent in my 20 yr old Airstream. Very easy installation. Nice product. The improvements incorporated into the new one make it much quieter and it moves more air than the original.

  • Replacement Exhaust Vent For A 2018 Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro

  • Can I Use The Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent VP-543SP in my Airstream
    Thanks for your question, Greg. For your first question, can the Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent, part # VP-543SP, replace the Airstream part 690266-01 bathroom vent fan? Yes, it can, as long as your Airstream still has the original Ventline vent installed. Airstream modeled their vent around the Ventline design, so this replacement will fit in its place without any issue. For your second question, can this be installed without removing the fan from the motorhome? I want to make sure...

  • Looking For Small Vent Hood Assembly For 1979 Airstream
    Hello again, Charles. Are you looking to replace the entire vent hood assembly? If so, I recommend the Ventline Pinnacle Ducted RV Range Hood # VE38SR. This has a LED light and a 1-speed vent fan. This is our smallest hood assembly at 20" wide and 18" deep so it will definitely be the best option for a small Airstream.

    The Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # VP-543SP that you referenced does not have a reputation as leaking. We've actually had quite a few people report back to us that it did not leak at all. Was the vent open when it was raining? If it was closed it should have not leaked through the mesh.

I called and spoke with an engineering contact at the Ventline division of Dexter Axle and they informed me that in order to remove the switch you need to trace the two wires up and remove them at the source rather than the switch. There is one wire that goes to the motor and the other goes to the rv's power circuit....

  • How Does The Mushroom Style Plumbing Vent Install and Work
    The Mushroom Vent # 37202-29125 you referenced is a replacement vent for the sewer and holding tanks. The mushroom vent mounts on the roof of your RV or camper to allow odors and gases to escape without entering the living quarters. The mushroom vent does not have a fan built in so no wiring or switches are needed. An option for a roof sewer vent that does have a fan is the Ultra-Fab Solar-Powered Plumbing Vent # UF53-945001. This upgrades your existing roof vent, or will add a roof vent...

  • Can The Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent VP-543SP Be Installed In A Shower?
    Hello Jeanne, thanks for reaching out. The Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent # VP-543SP cannot get wet from the inside. So it should not be used in a shower or bath tub. I typically would not recommend installing a powered vent in a shower or bath tub for fear of water damaging the vent. That said, I have heard of people doing just that and it working fine. It would just void the warranty for most vents and you would not be covered if something were to go wrong. The only powered roof...

  • Is the Ventline Vanair TrailerRoof Vent Reversable
    Hey Ttmom, the Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent # VP-543SP does not come with a reverse setting, but if you were to wire it in reverse the fan would run in reverse. If you need a fan that does both, with reverse built in, then I'd suggest going with the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # MA00-06200K. This has a 12v reversable 10 speed fan, includes a thermostat, an integrated rain shield, and has a manual lift to operate the dome. I know this is probably a bit more...

  • Replacement Foam Ring for Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent Part # VP-543SP
    The foam ring on the Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent part # VP-543SP is a weather seal that is used to help seal the dome on the fan assembly. If you continue to use the fan without the foam ring you would be subjected to leaks which could then short out the motor. If I had to guess I would say that the wax paper was not fully removed from the ring which then caused adhesion problems. Unfortunately, we do not offer the foam ring separately but we do offer the Replacement Plastic Dome...

    Yes, the Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # VP-543SP is the same as the 690266-01 that's already in your Airstream. I recommend picking up some plastic trim panel tools like # PT73HJ to help pull up the old sealant without scratching up the roof. You'll want to use some butyl tape # AL28FJ around the mounting flange and some non-sag sealant # 344270341437-1 over the top of the flange to get a nice waterproof seal.

Therefore, if you don't meet the minimum requirement of 1-7/8" you will need to make some sort of spacer to make up the difference as the roof on your Savana Van is likely not very thick.
