Does The MaxxAir MaxxFan Deluxe Lid Allow Daylight Through

Question:

Hello, I am building a camper out of a 20foot car hauler and am in the process of getting a material list together. Could you please tell me if the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat - Manual Lift - 10 Speed - White Item # MA00-05100K allows light to pass through like traditional RV ceiling vents. I have tried discerning from the photos, but still cannot tell. Sincerest thanks,

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.

If you're looking to upgrade the lighting in your car hauler then I highly recommend the Opti-Brite 12V/24V LED RV Dome Light # OPT98FR. I installed some of these in a 40' car hauler for a neighbor that needed more light to work on his racecar out at the track during the night, and it was a night and day difference between the factory lights and these.

I've attached a few of my videos below to help give you a better idea of how these products work and what the installation process would be like. If you have any more questions please feel free to submit another question and I'd be happy to help.
