2012Electric Air Max 14" Vent RV Roof Vent Reversible Exhuast Fan, Ultra Low Sound Level Permanent RV Air Ventilation Ceiling Fan 12V Remote with Rain Sensor, Semi-transparent UV-Proof Cover Lid

If you are looking for a exhaust fan to replace your original one speed, brittle housings, and no air flow exhaust fan, look no further. The fan you are currently looking at is easy to install (once you get off all the old dicor sealant), moves a ton of air, and has the look of higher end fans. Which let's face it guys, the "higher end" fans are not built any better. You are just paying for a name. So go ahead, throw it in your cart and enjoy being able to actually move some air quietly and effectively in your coach.

I purchased this fan as a replacement for the loud, one-speed stock fan in my Vintage Cruiser. The product, once installed, is a nice-looking unit, with a simple and descriptive remote. It moves significantly more air than the stock fan, and is much quieter. It’s fairly quiet on fan speeds 1 and 2, and gets a little louder with the higher speeds. That it can blow or suck will be great, depending on what we need in the trailer at any given time.Installation: The roof of the RV is 2 inches thick. No problem, though. In the description on Amazon, it says recommended roof thickness is 37 to 85 mm. For us Yanks, that’s 1.46 to 3.35 inches. Putting the pieces together on the living room floor, I discovered that the minimum roof thickness would be about 2.5 inches. I reached out to the vendor for help, and at first they were very responsive, answering within about an hour. They asked more questions for clarification. But after I replied with the requested info, there was no more communication from the vendor. I decided to install it anyway, and modify as needed. The outside part, I installed exactly as directed, being sure to use plenty of butyl tape under the flange and lap sealant around the edges and covering all the screw tops. I ended up trimming about an inch of plastic from the inside cowl to reduce the overall thickness. Not the neatest job of trimming, but the cut part will be hidden completely for all time. The finished installation turned out great, and you’d never know what an involved project it was - first removing the old fan and all that well-seasoned lap sealant (who’s only jobs in life are to keep the water out, and to stay put forever), then crudely trimming the inside cowl part with primitive hand tools and a prayer. Everything else was easy, from centering the unit into the roof hole, screwing it down and weather-proofing it. The wiring was very straigforward, and then I crammed the wires back up and out of the way, to be hidden by the inside cowl. And finally, screwing the modified inside cowl up to the ceiling. Oh, the screws provided were silver/unpainted. In order for them to look more finished, I spray painted the dozen screws required for the inside work - looks great.

This purchased to replace the Fantastic Fan in our 2017 Airstream.This fan is quieter and has more features (can blow in or out, has more speeds, can run in the rain, and has a remote). So far no issues using the fan and I like it better than the original. I will see how it holds up over time, hoping just as well as the original, which still ran fine, just leaked and I wanted to replace since the labor would be the same cost.However, the fan is 360 by 360 millimeters, which is 14.1732 inches!! The hole in my coach was exactly 14x14, so it didn't fit. After several minutes of careful grinding (all aluminum), I was able to install this. For other RVs, it could be more of a problem. The producer needs to make it slightly smaller and it would be a considerable improvement. The original fan was a scootch under 14x14, by the way. Again, I like the fan and money wise it seems to be a real value, just the installation could have been a show-stopper had I not had the means to enlarge the roof opening fairly easily.

Very nice fan. It is far more sturdy than the one that came in our 5th Wheel.Putting it in was very easy. The hardest part is cleaning up the old butyl tape and and dicor from the original install. Once it was cleaned up good, the old one fit right in. Sealed it back up, wired it and it was done. I tested it before ripping out my old one by hooking it up to a car battery. Mine worked great on all speeds and in both directions (intake/exhaust). This really moves some air.Remote is easy to use and works great.No idea of how long it will last but I’m guessing WAY longer than the cheap one Forest River put in. I would definitely by it again.

I decided in a fan with a rain sensor because it increased the book value significantly more than just a vent fan. I have had low current fans in three motorhomes before and especially liked the “attic fan” effect when I opened windows. This fan replaced a noisy vent fan in a small travel trailer. It is very quiet on the two lower settings. Noisier on the two higher settings, but lower settings move a lot of air. The only hitch was the inside shroud wasn’t deep enough. I suspected that but didn’t want to disrupt the original assembly until the new install. There was a notice on owners manual saying a deeper shroud available (5.5”), so I found an email on the shipping box, and sent a message. They replied a day later and we are arranging shipment for the no cost replacement! I especially like the remote control. There are controls on the fan, too, but the remote suits my lazy lifestyle. If I can revisit this review, I will include a picture of the finished product. UPDATE: I received the longer inside shroud yesterday. I was surprised that it came in 4 interlocking pieces, but that worked out, because the fit was imprecise enough that there was some give that made the fit right. Also, the shroud was about half an inch too tall, so I trimmed each piece with a Dremel and a cutoff disk. There are lines on the outside that act as a guide, so trimming was easy. I am including a couple pictures to show the fit.
