I’ve always liked these rain covers on max fans, as a opposed to just the rain sensor function. It’s a real drag not having ceiling ventilation when cooking on rainy day/nights! I’ve always wondered why manufacturers don’t install them as a standard feature on ALL class vehicle models, as oppose to purchasing them as an after-factory item !? Greats to see videos again from the Dynamic Duo…Cheers as always 🥂🖖🏼
I have the Maxxair vent fan with remote that is also reversible. It is the best upgrade I added to our trailer. It was easy to install. We’ve used the 78° open feature many times and it works flawlessly. The main thing with the built in rain cover is I’ve left it on and open while driving down the road on hot and rainy days with no water leakage and a wonderful job of pulling heat out of our trailer. It’s also very quiet while running
We thoroughly enjoy your comments on your camper, and your overall set up! We are thinking of leaving our wonderful AirStream. And we come over Landers
nice video yes I have to agree they are Rolls-Royce of rv fans I just installed a second one yesterday made it big difference now I can have one set on air in and one air out on automatic mode and keep the place a lot cooler when we're not here fans i got the Maxxiair deluxe fans are fully power open and close and fully remote and with them closed on circulate the air the air conditioning move round a lot more efficient and is a lot cooler we live full time and a Rockwood 3008 windjammer
Thank you for your detail write up and video. Helped me make my decision. I decided on the MaxxAir that does not have all the whistles and bells, Maxxair Vent Corp 00-06401K Maxxfan DLX Vent and the price drops down to $187.84 and ordered 2 units and might order 2 more for another project. After you saying condensation is causing the electronics to go haywire, sometime simple is better "KISS", I can live with 4 speeds and put in a 3 way switch to reverse polarity to get it to blow and suck excuse the pun. I was at Dillion Van Expo and was hoping to visit but didn't see you. Keep up the good stories.
My van is long enough that I have two Maxxair fans. One has a remote, since it's only reachable by climbing onto the bed. As a full timer, it's great to have airflow when rain makes it difficult to open doors and windows. While cooking I have one blowing in while the other exhausts.
Thanks for the great review and the important information for me about getting the remote control. I am short and wouldn’t be able to reach the manual controls. Safe travels and keep the videos coming.
Thanks, this helped me make the decision on which one to buy our class C has no stove vent hood, and even with a fan blowing out the window right next to the stove the fire alarm is always going off we are hoping this will do the trick!!
We have this same fan on our three year old Class B van. It is great, but be forewarned that ours is having a problem with the Automatic Lift Operator Mechanism and the part is not available anywhere. It is back ordered, even at the manufacturer. We have been able to clean and lubricate to help, but it still is not operating correctly. We hope the part will become available soon.
Perhaps... but I've seen so many folks who installed Fantastic Fans only to replace them with Maxxair fans a short time later. It seems you really do get what you pay for.
great video thank you. I actually have a question: due to space issue can I install the fan back to front? which is the opening side to front. Would it be a problem when driving? Thanks
great video! what type of spray did you use on the control panel? I have the same issue with the control panel and want to protect my next one! thanks!
@@Weretherussos We have missed You both so much! Loved the picture of You all at the tree, what a Loving Son and Daughter-in-law to haul all the way across the country to be a Blessing and be with a Blessing!
No they shouldn’t. You’re lucky if it lasts a year. $250 lemon mine was. Didn’t move nearly the amount of air a Fantastic fan does. Operator mechanism is made out of cast aluminum garbage…doomed to fail, and the gearbox leaks oil. Had both replaced under warranty the first year. Year 2 gearbox leaked oil still, and the main circuit board failed after it started having a mind of it’s own. The circuit board thing is a known issue they wouldn’t stand behind. Their tech support guy Dale Cox, is rude. Would be interested to hear how yours holds up on down the road if you keep your rig that long.
I can't install the Maxxair with the vent trailing due to a rear solar panel. So I need to find out if I can have it to the side or front. I know forwards is not a good idea although I have the AC in front of it to break the airflow. Any thoughts?
