- Make electrical connections.

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.

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

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.

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.
by: Ron08/10/2023
Fan arrived quickly and was an exact replacement for our Hail storm damaged unit. Thanks eTrailer!
by: Timberwolf09/21/2023
Great for tight spaces. Not the most flashy of designs, but they work well. Lower profile than the maxxair 6 inch round fan. Easy to work on when it comes time to needing to replace the fan motor as well.
by: Clinton05/06/2021
It works. It doesnt leak. My complaint would be its rattling noise; indicating a low quality fan motor. Possibily out of balance.
by: Barry07/20/2018
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 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: sherpatrailers06/15/2022
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: Paul C. Orlando FL10/15/2014
I purchased this vent to remove damp air causing mildew growth from a plastic utility storage building on a concrete slab. The vent itself installed in under 5 minutes using the inside flange collar as a template and a reciprocating saw to cut the hole. I used gutter sealant and self tapping screws to attach to roof. I hooked the device up to a small solar panel and away it went. The 560 cubic foot storage building was full of dry fresh air in under 24 hrs with no sweating or condensing moisture as it was the prior day.
Very nice push-pull design to open and close the vent. Has a push button switch for power but I intend the let it run full time when the sun is out.
Thanks e-trailer, Best prices on the Internet too!

I bought a Chevy City Express van, which is the same as a Nissan NV, with the intention of turning it into a little one person camper. Needed a roof vent, a standard square vent wouldn't fit between the roof ribs. Found this one. A friend installed it for me, he just wired a 12v plug on it, and I plug it into my portable jumper box. It will last 2 nights before it needs to be recharged. Works good.

So far, so good.

Purchased the Vanair Ventline fan to replace the one that was original equipment on our 2003 Teton fifth wheel. The old one was very noisy and I had already repaired the cover once. Shipping was cheap and fairly quick (UPS ground). The price was good. Installation was easy and the new unit fit perfectly.
I now have a very quiet new fan in the bathroom.

This fan has worked flawlessly for the past year. The only thing I recommend is to vacuum the fan screen about once every two weeks.

Exactly what we needed - thank you!!!

Excellent service!
by: Michael 03/10/2020
My order arrived on time and in good condition. Installation was relatively easy. Once installed they work quite well. It will make traveling on the road with my dog much easier because of the amount of air that is moved. I will send pictures next week of the installation.
One comment, the instructions call for a 6-1/4" hole. Someone needs to tell the manufacturer that hole saws only come in 6" necessitating additional cutting for an accurate fit.
Thank you

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: Ryan 02/02/2023
This was a very nice upgrade to our camper bathroom. It did not have a vent and I didn't want to cut a big whole in the roof. Nice and quiet, easy to install, and easy to use. I also really like that it lets some light in as the plastic is sort of tinted.
by: Stephen 03/25/2023
This is a cost-effective alternative for confined space or limited access areas - we installed two in a sprinter conversion, one above the shower and one over the bed.
eTrailer shipped in good order - very happy with the purchase.

- Low Profile Roof Vent With Fan For Mercedes-Benz Metris Van With Roof RackThanks for the question, I looked into some roof vents for you to check out. **Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - 6-1/4" Diameter - Smoke # VP-543SP. *Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent - Manual - 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" - Metal # V2110SP-24. I recommend the Vanair vent, it comes in at 2-3/8 inches closed and 3-1/4 inches open. I has a built in fan and moves 100 cubic feet of air a minute. Comes with 2 year warranty.

view full answer... - Recommended Vent To Replace Discontinued Ventline V2065The replacement grill assembly for your Ventline V2065 vent is the VC0325-00 but it has been discontinued along with the V2065. You may be able to find some new old stock by searching online but I was unable to find a place that had one in stock. Your best bet is to go ahead and replace the vent with the Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - 6-1/4" Diameter - Smoke # VP-543SP which is the closest replacement option. This vent fits a 6-1/4" diameter opening in your roof, and extends...

The unit has two lead wires, a white ground wire and a black +12V wire, and includes a push-button switch. This unit offers low current draw yet delivers 100-cubic-feet-per-minute output.

- Can Rain Get Into the Ventline Powered Vanair Trailer Roof Vent # VP-543SPIt is not likely but possible for rain to get into the vent when it is open. The outer lid overlaps the lower housing so water would have to come in sideways (if parked level) for it to get in. Also if the trailer is parked on an incline, the angle required to enter in the vent would not be as severe so you just have to plan accordingly. For installation we recommend using install kit # 344270KITW.

- Electric Trailer Roof Vent for BathroomWe have one powered plumbing vent that you could use, # UF53-945001. It is solar powered so does not actually wire into the electrical system of the trailer. It is only 7 inches in diameter and 3-3/4 inches tall. This is currently the only option we carry that can be used in a bathroom. I have linked a video review for you. If you need to cut a new hole to mount this vent you will need to find a way to come up with some trim or a garnish so the insulation is not exposed.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement for Ventline V2065 Bathroom Vent The Ventline model V2065 Vent assembly is no longer available. If you are wanting/needing to replace the entire vent then your only option will be with a different model unit that closely matches the dimensions of the V2065. I recommend taking a look at the Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent # VP-543SP, which requires a 6-1/4 inch diameter roof opening and extends 3-1/4 inches above the roof when it's open. This is a really nice vent that has a really quiet operation and only draws 1-1/2...
view full answer... - Trailer Roof Vent with 12 Volt Fan for a 1977 Chevy G-20 VanThe Ventline vent # V2110SP-24 cannot be fitted with a fan but we do have a host of roof vents that do have fans built in that you could use. I have included a link to them for you. I would actually go with vent with fan # VP-543SP since it has a smaller footprint and would require a smaller hole in the roof. I also recommend the roof vent installation kit # 344270KITW.

For the low profile ability, these are really your best bet. To feel the air moving, with the windows cracked you will want two instead of one. If you go with the MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, Thermostat, and Remote - Powered Lift - 10 Speed - Smoke # MA00-04500K you will move much more air with a 900 cubic feet per minute fan, but you will...

- Can the Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent Be Mounted on the Side of a TrailerI spoke with my contact at Ventline and he informed me that this Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent # VP-543SP is only to be mounted on the roof of a trailer. The reason is because if it was mounted on the side it would most likely leak water.
view full answer... - Exhaust Fan Recommendation for Ambulance The Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent # VP-543SP you referenced was actually designed for what you are looking for. It can move 100 CFM of air to the outside of a vehicle which would work well for what you mentioned wanting. You'd need to wire it to a 12 volt power source on a switch and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Will Reversing the Wiring on Vent Fan VP-543SP Cause the Motor to Run in ReverseIf you were to swap the positive and negative wires on the motor for vent fan # VP-543SP the motor would run in reverse. I have tested this before. Of course it is not tested in this configuration so proceed at your discretion.
view full answer... - How to Wire Ventline BV0199-03 Replacement SwitchThe # BV0199-03 switch is installed inline on the 12-V power source feeding the fan. One lead connects to the motor, the other to a 12-V power source. The switch was typically used on Vanair Powered vents like # VP-543SP, although Ventline used them on a few other older fan models.

You can use ring terminals or butt connectors or something else if you have a favorite type of connector. On your Ford work van, since the roof is just sheet metal there will likely be some gap. If that does happen you would need to make a spacer since there isn't one specifically made for this vent. It does look like you would have to drill a hole through...
view full answer... - Vent Recommendations for Side and Top of a House Boat With RefrigeratorIf you sealed the part # HMAV2-AVT2 properly you could use it as a vent for the side of your houseboat. For sealant you could use the part # 0160297. For the top I would go with a # VP-543SP to allow the heat to easily escape from the top. This vent has a fan built into it so it will draw the hot air out. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - How to Replace the Screen on Ventline Vanair Trailer Vent # VP-543SPYou can replace the screen on Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent, # VP-543SP, in a few easy steps. Make sure that the screws that hold on the handle are exposed. Remove them and then the handle. Next unscrew the small black piece that holds the switch to the screen assembly. Then remove the 2 screws holding on the screen and pull out the screen. Reverse the process to put in the new screen. I made a video that shows how to do this.
view full answer... - Installation of Ventline Vanair Vent on Ford Transit Connect Van with Corrugated RoofInstalling a roof vent on a vehicle that has a corrugated roof, especially a smaller vent like the Ventline # VP-543SP which requires a mounting hole only 6-1/2-inches in diameter, will mean that you'll need to fill the gaps between the vent and roof caused by those corrugations. The easiest way to do this is to use a pure silicone sealant/adhesive such as # 0160297 which is white or a similar product from a local hardware store that is often available in a clear colorless form or in...

- Thickness of Roof for the Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent Part # VP-543SPThe Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent part # VP-543SP will fit a roof from 1-1/2" - 2-1/2" thick out of the box. Since you have a 3-1/4" thick roof then you will need to use the Replacement Garnish Extension Ring for Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent part # BVA0228-01-46 which allows for a roof from 2-1/2" - 3-1/2" thick. I also recommend using the part # 344270KITW which comes with everything you need for installation.
view full answer... - Adding Vents to Cool an Enclosed Trailer for Transporting Honey BeesFirst of all there isn't something specifically designed for this. Your trailer is going to get extremely hot during the summer months. Using a fan like the # VP-543SP you mentioned is going to move air and cool the trailer when it's stationary but there isn't a way to determine how many fans you'll need or how well the fans will control the temperature for the sake of the bees. In addition to the fans a vent like # HMAV2-AVT2 might be something to consider. These are often used on...
view full answer... - Recommended Jackknife Rv Sofa and Roof Fan for Ram Promaster City WagonThe longest jackknife RV sofas we carry are 68 inches long. I've linked our selection so you can review the available options. For a roof fan on your Ram Promaster I suggest the Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent # VP-543SP becuase of its small round design. Even though it's only 6-1/4 inches in diameter it will still circulate 100 cubic feet per minute of air. Use Installation Kit # 344270KITW to install and seal the fan.
view full answer... - Can The Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent Be Installed On The Side Of An Ice Shack The Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # VP-543SP is designed to be on the roof and not really on the side of anything so there is a chance that water could get through if installed on the side. The cover has an open-cell foam to help prevent anything from getting inside and a drain hole in the event that water does. I've seen plenty of people put these on the sides of their trailers or vans and have no issues, but the chance of water getting in will always be there. I recommend...
view full answer... - Roof Vent With Fan Compatible with Roof Rack on Teardrop TrailerThe Ultra-Fab Solar-Powered Plumbing Vent for Motor Homes - 7" Diameter x 3-3/4" Tall # UF53-945001 may be a good option for you. The fan will only work when you have solar charge which can work even on a cloudy day, but obviously would be covered if you had something on the roof rack obstructing it. The Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - 6-1/4" Diameter - Smoke # VP-543SP is a great option if you will instead be using 12V power and it will still fit under the roof rack...
