The built-in rain shield on this powered roof vent protects the interior of your RV or camper from rainwater. The reversible, 10-speed fan has a thermostat to regulate airflow inside your RV. Ceiling fan mode circulates air when vent is closed.

Note: Not for use directly above tubs, showers, or range cooking surfaces.
The MaxxFan Deluxe has a built-in rain shield that, along with the dome, surrounds and encloses the vent opening. The shield blocks rainwater and other precipitation from entering through the vent and damaging the interior of your RV or trailer. This means you can run the fan during any weather without having to worry about the consequences. With the rain shield, there is also no need to install a separate vent cover.
The white dome on the rain shield is constructed of durable high-density polypropylene. When it's closed, the dome provides a seamless, low-profile appearance.
The 12-volt, variable-speed fan has 2 modes of operation: manual and auto. When the fan is in manual mode, you can choose from 10 different speeds to increase or reduce the airflow as needed. Auto mode works in conjunction with the fan's thermostat.
To enter auto mode, press the auto mode button on either the remote control or keypad. Once the fan is in auto mode, the thermostat is activated with a set temperature of 78 degrees F. Pressing the arrow keys on either the remote or keypad changes the set temperature in 1 degree increments. When the thermostat is set, it senses the room temperature and automatically turns the fan on if it is above the set temperature. The fan shuts off when the set temperature has been reached. If the room temperature rises, the fan turns on again. This keeps your RV cool and comfortable and saves you from having to adjust the fan by hand. The auto mode also saves energy by running the fan no more than necessary, especially while you're away or asleep.
This fan is reversible, which means you are able to both exhaust stale air out of your RV and bring fresh air in from the outside. To enter ceiling fan mode, close the vent while the fan is still running. The fan then circulates the air inside your RV like a ceiling fan.
The fan has a fuse-protected, ball bearing motor that is sealed to keep out dust, dirt, and moisture.
The remote control has a built-in LCD screen so that it's easy to see the current settings. The remote enables you to operate the vent and fan from afar, including opening or closing the dome and turning the fan on or off. With the remote, you can also control the fan speed, the direction of the airflow, and the set temperature for the thermostat.
The remote comes with a cradle, which mounts to the wall. When it's not in use, the remote can be stored in the cradle. Hardware and 2 AAA batteries are included. The low-battery indicator located on the top-center area of the screen lets you know when it's time to change the batteries.
Like the remote control, the flush-mounted keypad on the vent allows you to operate the vent, the fan, and the thermostat.
This powered-lift vent opens and closes automatically, which means no hand cranking is needed. And unlike a vent that has only 1 arm, this dome is supported by 2 sturdy arms so that it will stay open during high winds or while you are driving.
And a manual hand knob is built into the underside of the vent to allow you to open and close the dome if your RV loses power.
This vent has a bug screen that helps keep insects and debris out of your RV. It is secured to the vent with 4 built-in retainer clips. These clips make it easy to remove the screen for cleaning or maintenance. Just rotate the clips, and the screen will pop out.
The MaxxFan Deluxe vent fits standard 14" x 14" openings in the roof of an RV, camper, or enclosed trailer. A white interior trim piece (or garnish), insulated electrical connectors, and hardware are included for installation. The included mounting flange is lined with a rubber weather seal, which helps prevent leaks. Roof sealant (sold separately) is required for installation.
To install, first secure the mounting flange to the roof. Then connect the two wires on the vent to your RV's electrical system. The black wire is for power, and the white wire is for ground. Next insert the vent into the flange and fasten it down using the metal mounting points on the flange. To finish, trim the garnish as needed to fit the thickness of your roof and install it.

The built-in rain shield on this powered roof vent protects the interior of your RV or camper from rainwater. The reversible, 10-speed fan has a thermostat to regulate airflow inside your RV. Ceiling fan mode circulates air when vent is closed.This Exceeded our expectations; we didn't know that this would have such an impact on how much air was moved by this vent fan. I was in, then out of the "Doghouse" for the cost of this (the wife did her own research after I had) and then the wait; the unit this replaced was leaking water as it rained outside. Within a week of ordering this it was delivered, and the following day I got it installed. Installation directions were very simple to understand/follow; the hard part was removing the old vent fan and caulk. Another "Bonus" was how quite this is compared to the original.
When they work, they do really well. Mine started squeaking loudly, so it has been returned. The designers of this model were kind enough to install a super bright green LED that shines when in auto mode, which is where most people will use it. You cannot shut off the LED unless you take it out of auto mode. If you like waking up to a green light, as in an alien spacecraft coming to pick you up for a free ride, then this is the fan for you. Otherwise, shop around because that light is really really bright! If it wasn't for the beacon that you cannot shut off, this would be a five-star review of a fan.

After a year, I have had to replace all of the motors. Now they need to be replaced again as they are squeaking. These units allow bugs in like you would not believe. I have yet to figure out how to remedy this. The motors are still squeaking...I was sent another motor, but I was informed to run it at 100 for 24 hours to seat the bearing. Yep.
This is the second RV we've added this fan to. We love the variable speed, option to blow in or out (out for showering, in at nighttime for cool air), remote control (more necessary in first RV where we the ceilings were too high to reach the buttons on the fan itself), and the hood that allows us to run it even when raining.
Note: the current RV came with a MaxxFan installed which was good, but we still replaced it with this one for the higher performance and hood.
Excellent fan. Correction to the etrailer description. The lid can be opened and left open without the fan running, either with the remote control, a wired wall control or by the manual knob on the fan. It can be partially to fully opened by using the manual knob. The optional wired wall control works great for those who can't reach the ceiling control panel on the fan. I have 4 of the 07000K fans in 2 campers, all with wireless remotes and wired wall mount control panels.
We just received and installed these Maxxair Deluxe fans and absolutely love them. We installed these ourselves and couldn’t be happier. Our reason for ordering these fans was simply so we could have the remote and ceiling fan option. Our previous fans did not have a switch, we are too short to reach them and a step stool is a pain. The install went well and was more time consuming than anything. Otherwise not a challenge at all. The reason for the 4-star vs the 5-star is nothing on etrailer’s part but on the fan itself. We went with white vs smoke in hopes to let more light into the coach but they in fact let in less light than if we were to go with smoke. And also the white fans cast a pinky-orangey hue which isn’t necessarily a deal breaker but would’ve been nice to know ahead of time because we would’ve ordered smoke. Other than that the fans are phenomenal. etrailer, as always, is on top of the game and got these out to us fast and customer service rocks as always!!
etailer's selection and service were great. I specifically wanted the fan with the white cover, which not every vendor stocked, and we wanted the fan delivered quickly, so I was willing to pay a bit of a premium to get both. I received excellent support from Ashley throughout the ordering and shipping process. I needed to make some last-minute changes to my shipping request, which were quickly arranged, and I received the fan the next day!
Fit perfectly into existing vent. Ran wiring up behind refrigerator. Can be set to run either on thermostat or manually. Really nice rain good. Now I can keep my camper vented by moving the hot air out in between trips and blow cool air in at night to sleep without all the noise from the air conditioner fan. Very pleased.
Replaced a lesser model MaxxAir with this one. Installation was not too bad. A few minor comments for 'improvement'. The cable connectors could be one size larger to accommodate the existing wiring. The instructions didn't really say how 'difficult' it is to get the fan on the flange (makes sense to seal the gasket, just concerned about 'pushing down' too hard). Other than that, very satisfied. Will see how it performs in the rain later this week.
This was scary to install, but we followed the instructions carefully, and it works great! It is quiet and moves air in or out of our Transit Connect van very well. I'm very pleased we bought this unit.
We marked and taped off the opening on the van roof, drilled the corners, then used a jigsaw with a metal blade to cut it out. We taped a garbage back underneath to catch metal shavings.
The butyl sealant made a water-tight fit, and self-leveling caulk provided the final weatherproof seal. We added plywood on the inside of the roof to provide support, which was a good idea. Overall we love the fan!

One year later literally two weeks after the warranty expired we discovered that the vent was leaking. The cause was that the lid was cracked, from where the closing assembly pulled it shut. Apparently this is a very common problem with this fan, I see a lot of people complaining online of the same thing. I bought a replacement lid over $100 and installed it. The fan now has loud wind noise while driving, and rattles when going over bumps, because the fasteners that hold it in place are bent and loose. Considering the purchase price of the fan, I am wholly unimpressed with its longevity.
I love the Maxx Fan. Quiet and button open and exhaust with remote it is so convenient.
What a terrific upgrade this was to the original fan. The videos on the etrailer product page made this an easy job. The fan is amazingly quiet yet it moves a massive amount of air.
First purchase from etrailer was concerned as it was a pricey item for me. They outperformed themselves! Items shipped on time, I was kept aware of tracking and item arrived 1 day ahead of schedule. Good selection of products, reasonable prices, excellent service and follow up. etrailer gets 5 stars from me!
Absolutely love this vent, very easy to install and the lowest 3 settings, you cant hear the vent. Exactly what my vintage trailer needed
2. Star review
I had this fan installed during a re-roofing on my 5th wheel in April 2019. I am happy with the performance and the remote makes it very easy to operate. The unit sat for 19 months during COVID lockdown and border closure. I now notice that 3 of the 4 motor support arms are cracked. A replacement vent frame, part # 10-21217K would fix my problem. Unfortunately this part is no longer, or never was, available. According to the manufacturer, Airxcel, my only option is to replace the whole unit. Without knowing why this one cracked, I am reluctant to invest in another one. I can't believe I am the only one that has experienced this and there has to be a reason why the replacement part is not available. Buyer beware, if yours cracks there is no repair option. That's why I give this product 2 stars.
This is probably my favorite purchase. It pulls all the moisture out quickly and the heat. Blowing in helps to dry damp towels. Remote works great as I was never able to reach the other fan to even turn it on. I no longer have to wait for some one to help me.
I have had several of these fans in my current and pervious RV's. Their are great. They move air quietly and smoothly. This lets us not run the air conditioner except in the most extreme times and pull out odors quickly. Would never own an RV without.
Remote control is so awesome
Since we are of shorter stature, acts as a whole trailer fan
The best customer service, selection and fast delivery. My only place to shop for me and my customers. Outstanding!
MaxAir fan delivery was done as expected. I have not installed it yet but should be able to review this item later on. From all the research I've done the MaxAir line has great reviews.
Fantastic product moves air as should not loud either. all the thanks to e-trailer and there informative videos. Return customer indeed
A little noisy when it opens and closes, but otherwise a great upgrade!
am more than pleased with this fan works great for both intake and exhaust fan love the rain guard.
Arrived way too fast for one thing! For another, it’s exactly what I ordered. Finally, the price was fair.
Have conducted business with etrailer many times.
I now always trust etrailer.
Not always the best price but etrailer always stocks and delivers.
Awesome product. Super quick shipping.
AWESOME! Tis fan is a million times better than the tiny, noisy, stock unit! Installation was a breeze. Fan is very quiet especially below 30%. First time out with it and we ran it during a thunderstorm! The design is great no rain came in the camper. Love the low profile when closed doesn't add any clearnce height as we travel. The remote is IR so it needs to be pointed at the unit or mounted below it some how. I mounted ours to high on the wall and the IR beam didn't work. But now kinda under the fan on the wall it works great. Kepp the camper cool all weekend. It moves a ton of air! Looking forward to many more quiet nights with it on.

After a year of using this fan, we are just as pleased with it as we were when we got it. Im not able to say anything about the Rain Sensor, even though we are located in SW Washington, because we dont leave the vent open 247. The remote was the perfect solution for my wifes height challenge 48 to be able to use this, mounted the holder just inside the door on the wall.
