Expert Answers about Chevrolet RV Vents and Fans

• Warranty for MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent # MA00-07000K
• Yes, the manufacturer's warranty (2-year limited on vent assembly, limited lifetime on dome) for the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent # MA00-07000K is absolutely effective and good if purchased through etrailer.com. This RV vent features a built-in rain shield, a reversible 10-speed fan, and a thermostat to regulate the airflow inside the RV. I have attached a short video demonstration on this unit that you can also take a look at.

• Are Newer Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vents Quieter Than Older Models
• Fan-Tastic vents, like the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # FV802250, all have a 2-year warranty so you're just a bit past it. Normal wear and tear on the vents can lead to vibration and cause the noise you're hearing. Newer vents won't have much play in them and will cut down on the loud noise you're currently experiencing.

• Using Powered Vent Fan In RV Bathroom
• It's not recommended that powered vents be used over a stove or in a bathroom because the additional condensation in the air can harm the electrical components in the fan motor. You could use a vent without a fan like # MA00-03700, but a fan installed in a bathroom or over a stove would have a shorter life expectancy.

• Location of 12V Power Wiring in RV for Installing Fan-Powered Roof Vent
• Unfortunately we have no way to predict the presence or specific location of wiring in any given RV for installation of a fan-powered roof vent such as the Fan-Tastic Vent 12V model # FV801250. You may have success by contacting the RV maker with the unit's VIN. Sometimes RV makers will install certain wiring or other features on all production of their RVs in case customers wish to have a local dealership install an optional item. It is much easier to install this wiring at the factory...

• Replacement For Fan-Tastic Roof Vent FV6300
• Fan-Tastic vents do not have replacement circuit boards for their RV roof vents, and the FV6300 is no longer available, so the best we can offer is a new roof vent since yours is acting up. I recommend going with an option that does have available parts that are replaceable just in case an issue occurs again down the road, and for that the best option is from MaxxAir: - Powered Lift: MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, Thermostat, and Remote # MA00-04500K - Manual Lift: MaxxFan Plus Roof...

• How To Correctly Measure RV Vent Opening
• In order to properly measure your RV's vents, you will want to measure the size of the rough opening in your RV's roof. This can be measured by removing the garnish around the vent on the inside of the RV and measuring the size of the rough opening. The most common RV vent's measurements are 14" x 14" like the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # MA00-06200K.

• Are There Hardwired Wall Remotes For A Fan-Tastic Vent RV Roof Vent
• There are both wired and wireless remotes for Fan-Tastic Vent RV roof vents and based on the pictures you've provided it looks like yours is wired. The remote snaps into the base and the base will have two screws holding it in place on the wall. The cable running between the vent and remote also provides power to it. We currently only offer a wireless version # FV9068-09 that slips onto a wall mount and is battery powered.

• Is the Replacement Lid for MaxxAir MaxxFans MA05-30510 Opaque or Translucent
• The Replacement Lid for MaxxAir MaxxFans # MA05-30510 is made of opaque white plastic (not clear plastic). The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent # MA00-05301K that this part fits is a powered vent with a fan/motor assembly. Since that part of the vent would block much of any light that gets through the lid there would not be much value in having a translucent lid on this particular vent. A manual vent that does not have a fan/motor, such as # V2092SP-28 from Ventline, does have a white lid that...

• Will My Battery Voltage Being 13.6 Volts Harm This 12 Volt Roof Fan?
• I have never seen the slight voltage difference of a fully charged battery cause an issue with the boards on the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, Thermostat, and Remote # MA00-07000K. RV's and campers use these fans in them everyday with no issues. Their batteries are constantly being charged by the convertor when they are plugged in at the campsite. I would think that if there was an issue with this that all the new units would have the regulators built in otherwise every unit would...

• CFM of Ultra-Fab Solar Powered Plumbing Vent UF53-945001
• The Ultra-Fab Solar-Powered Plumbing Vent # UF53-945001 is designed to provide a continuous (as long as the sun is out) low-level draw on an RV plumbing vent over the waste water tank. It does not carry a specific CFM rating as the motor unit is very small. The fan generates a slight amount of air pressure, hardly enough to feel, but for the purpose it's designed for it would work just fine. The fan includes installation hardware, but I'd recommend using # 0160297 silicone sealant between...

• Replacement Vent Cover For Dexter RV Roof Vent
• Thanks for the photo, and there isn't a specific vent cover that is going to attach to those plastic tabs, but so long as your Dexter vent is the standard size, measuring 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" at the roof opening, you can use a Fan-Tastic Vent cover, which comes in either White or Black: - White: Fan-Tastic Vent Ultra Breeze Trailer Roof Vent Cover # FVU1500WH - Black: Fan-Tastic Vent Ultra Breeze Trailer Roof Vent Cover # DMC38FR

• Can You Replace A Roof Vent Dome Lid With A Different Brand Than The Original
• All roof vent lids are not universal, but they are similar. We do offer Camco, Valterra, VentLine, and MaxxAir roof vents; but the main thing to pay attention to is the type of hinge for your roof vent has. There are 3 point hinges, 4 point hinges, continuous hinges, and universal hinges. The Replacement Dome for Fan-Tastic Vent RV Roof Vent # FVK1020-19 referenced, is a continuous metal hinge type.

• Solar Powered Roof Vent for Cargo Trailer
• I have a solution for you, it is a smaller fan unit but we have an item that will function in the way you are looking for. The MaxxFan Mini Plus Manual RV Roof Vent, # MA00-03851 that you linked to needs a fairly stable power supply of 12 VDC and draws slightly less than 2 amps to operate. Wiring directly to solar panel will not support this as the power will fluctuate greatly and eventually damage the electronics in the in the fan. To operate, you need a stable 12 VDC power supply from...

• Is MaxxFan Deluxe Rooftop Vent 7000K a Good Option
• Good questions, and the chatter you are hearing is really about moisture getting in and affecting the circuit boards, but I can tell you with all honesty that is not just a MaxxFan thing; it's something that can and will happen to RV vents, including Fan-Tastic vents. I haven't had dealings with Airxcel's customer team to give any feedback in that regard, but between the Fan-Tastic and MaxxAir, if it were up to me I would go with the MaxxFan: - MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, Thermostat,...

• Does The MaxxAir MaxxFan Deluxe Lid Allow Daylight Through
• Due to the design of the lid on the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # MA00-05100K you really won't get much light passing through if any on your trailer. If you're looking for an option that comes with a light then we also have the MaxxFan Mini Plus Manual RV Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # MA00-03801 (white) or # MA00-03851 (black), which comes with an LED light ring to help illuminate your trailer. It's not as powerful of a fan as the deluxe, but kills two birds with one stone....

• Is Fan Motor of Ventline # S0721-24-GC-F-1 RV Vent Hood Dual or Single Speed
• The Ventline # S0721-24GC-F-1 range hood features a single speed motor. The hood features two switches, one for the light and the other for the fan. I checked out Ventline's catalog, and didn't see that they had a dual speed fan available. The hood doesn't have a damper, you'd need to use a # V2111-03 exterior wall vent that has a damper.

• Are There Any RV Vent Covers That Will Allow The Vent Lid To Fully Open
• No vent cover on the market is tall enough to let the vent to fully open lid, but this is known by the manufacturers who all state that the covers allow the lids to open enough for the vent to properly operate. Powered lift vents should stop once they feel resistance and for manual lift vents you would just need to stop once the vent lid touches the cover. The Dometic Ultra Breeze Trailer Roof Vent Cover # DMC38FR is going to require you to remove four of the mounting screws on the vents...

• Looking For Reversible MaxxAir RV Roof Vent Fan
• The MaxxFan # MA00A04301K you referred to isn't reversible, it will exhaust only. If you want a reversible fan, you'd need to go with the MaxxFan Plus, part # MA00-04002K. This fan is reversible and can operate manually or by using the preset 78° thermostat. The 4000K model is still available as part # MA00-04000K, it features a 10 speed fan, versus the 4 speed offered by the # MA00-04002K. I've linked to product description videos for both vent fans
