Hi all,

I have a lot of work being done to my camper right now. Before re-sealing and coating the roof, I thought it would be best to install 2 high-quality vent fans for several different reasons.

Based on what I've seen, the Airxcel MaxxFan Deluxe 7500K Smoke Model seems like the best, when compared with the other fans, and the other brands like Fantastic Fan, Heng's, etc.

The Deluxe MaxxFan seems to be the only one out there with a built-in Rain Shield.

Also, according to an Airxcel employee, the remote control system for the MaxxFans are not supposed to draw power when the fans are off, like some other remote controlled fans do when they're off and not in use. Can anybody comment on if this is true or not?

I'm thinking about going for two 7500K Smoke Deluxe MaxxFans for these features, etc.:

1. built-in Rain Shield
2. Smoke Color to let more light into the bathroom, etc.
3. Remote Controlled fan and lid for ease of use
4. Bi-directional fans so I can have one intake and one exhaust fan
5. 10 speeds
6. Thermostat

Would two 7500K Smoke Colored Deluxe MaxxFans be the best choice on the market? Or would there be other products you think I should consider?

Let me know, thanks.

I replaced the Fantastic Fan in my Eagle with a MaxxFan. Easy swap and easy to operate. I didn't get the remote control because it is very easily reached from anywhere in the camper and I never have to search for the remote!

Having compared the Fantastic Fan and the MaxxAir Deluxe side by side I can say that the Fantastic Fan is better built and runs quieter. That being said I installed the MaxxAir in my camper 5 years ago because of the built in rain shield and have no regrets. There are a few cracks that have formed on the base which required some attention. I don't know for sure but I suspect I over tightened the screws along the flange. I seriously thought about putting two fans in my camper but with my small FWC Eagle all I have to do is open one of the windows a tad to create a good cross flow.
