Questions & Answers
With the unit set to high, I've discovered that it actually pushes enough air out to improve my fuel economy!
It is conditional on the situation. It will work well as an RV fan; however, if you want to achieve normal kitchen circulation, I'd recommend two (one exhaust, one intake, at opposite ends of the compartment). It won't be able to take the place of a hood exhaust.
Yes, a company that specializes in rv fans made it so that more than 13volts can damage it, which happens when charging coach batteries [plugged in using converter power or driving charging with alternator] lol yes, a company that specializes in rv fans made it so that more than 13volts can damage it, but if you add a 12 volt voltage regulator inline it will last forever.
Yes, it can be painted; a spray paint for plastic with primer is available.

With the small fan from Winnebago, I was able to replace a standard bathroom vent. The installation was simple. br>However, one of the metal clips that the four screws thread into to secure the unit to the mounting flange was manufactured incorrectly, and the screw would not tighten. It was just a minor issue with quality control. br>My only criticism of this fan is the cheap plastic it is made of and the exorbitant price; as simple as these fans are, they should at least be made in the United States if they are going to charge so much for them. br>All of the deluxe models are essentially the same fan with a different circuit board, so if you only need exhaust, this is the one to get. My unit, for the record, drew. On low, 1 amp, 5 on the highest setting, which is essentially silent, and 2 on the lowest setting. At 12 volts, 5 amps in high running mode.
Because we were boondocking, the only way to keep the camper cool at night was to open all the windows and vents and then use a personal fan. br>br>The exterior installation was simple and similar to other vent replacements (i. e. , removing the old sealant is a pain). ) Managing the wiring on the inside was a little more difficult. I cut the trim to length with a Dremel with a large cutoff wheel and smoothed the edges with a knife (which wasn't necessary since it's hidden). )br>br>On the lowest setting, the unit is very quiet but still moves a lot of air. The higher the volume, the less loud it is, but it is noticeable. When you close the vent, it becomes much louder, which isn't how it's supposed to work. br> If the camper is hot in the evening, turning it on high for a few minutes exhausts the hot air and makes the interior much more comfortable. The screen can also be easily removed for cleaning. br>br>Excited for next season and will be purchasing another (this time with a remote) to install in the back of the camper!.
In my 12 foot enclosed trailer, I replaced a cracked and aging vent. I figured I might as well have a powered fan vent since I was installing solar and batteries for interior and exterior lights. It was a simple swap because both my trailer and this vent had standard dimensions. The most difficult part was removing the original screws, but even that took less than 30 minutes. After some scraping and cleaning, the new one was ready to be installed. The following day, it rained, so I used new screws, butyl tape, and sealant. There isn't a single leak to be found! The fan controls are basic, but they do the job. This is simply amazing when compared to a screened hole in the roof. I chose this model over others because it has a 'rainproof' cover, which means I won't have to worry about it getting wet if I leave it open. It was delivered quickly, as well. The wiring was easy to understand and well-protected.
She said it was simple to install and that it went in quickly. I expected it to be a little louder, but it's not bad. I would definitely buy from them again. (It's mounted on the roof of my Sprinter van).
The fan is powerful while remaining quiet. When the windows are open, it lets a lot of air into our Ford Transit van. The manual model that we selected had no trouble opening and closing or operating the controls. Despite the fact that the hatch was open during a severe storm, it did not leak. The exhaust-only option has also proven to be a hit with us.
It moves more air and is much quieter than the original fan. Plus, I won't have to worry about rain getting in if I leave it open. The manual controls are the only drawback, as they are difficult to use and understand. It would be beneficial if the site were redesigned.
The most difficult aspect is removing old rubber chalk without damaging the rubber roof liner. It took me over an hour to complete. It will take you 5 hours to complete this task. The remainder of the setup is simple. The fan is very effective. Even when towing a trailer, it was possible to keep the engine running. At low speeds, it's very quiet, and at top speeds, it's barely audible. It is recommended that you watch a YouTube video first, as this will make the replacement process much easier.
It really works. This is what I used to replace the original roof vent/bath fan in my RV. The installation went off without a hitch, and the system runs without a hitch. I like the four different fan speeds, and the lowest setting is very quiet. Although the highest setting produces some noise, it is tolerable. When it's raining, it's convenient to be able to open the vent.
