RV Roof Vent Fan 12V Auto Remote Control 14'' inch 10 Speed (Smoke)

RVLovent 10 speed remote controlled bathroom fan installed on my Keystone Springdale 202QBWE travel trailer. It's a perfect fit to replace the "OEM" vent/fan, and fits right into the 14" opening. The 4" fan that came with the trailer couldn't vent a PC case, much less do anything to move air in a travel trailer. I'm not sorry to hurl the OG fan into the trash.In my test runs since installing the RVLovent fan it does pull powerfully, and it is quiet! I am surprised at how quiet it really is. The ten speeds are listed in the remote as a percentage, and the fan itself has a color LED that changes for each of the ten speeds, which I thought was cool.Can't use this with a MAXXAIR cover though - the motorized hatch will not clear the cover - it opens up wide - which is a bummer for leaving the hatch open in breezes or where debris might get in to the fan itself. As other reviewers have noted, the there isn't any way of preventing leaves, dirt, or damage to the fan or hatch while it's open, which is the one strike against it. The instruction manual is basic (par for the course, complete with translation misspellings) and the remote design is...interesting... but it works well.Installation isn't that hard, just a bit tedious but possible if you have tools, and are handy. It's totally worth the effort!TOOLS NEEDED:Nylon scraping toolWAGO connectors (2), 3 portButyl TapeWire cutter/stripperSquare bit driver (Keystone hardware requirement), preferably on a power drillPhillips screwdriverDICOR, self leveling sealant tubes (2)Caulking gun for DICORPlastic cutting implementINSTRUCTIONS:Begin inside the TT. Use square bit driver to remove four trim screws from ceiling bezel. Pull bezel and set aside. Use Phillips screwdriver to remove hatch knob, and then snap out the inner trim panel. It will hang by two wires that are connected to your 12v source. Cut off the crimped on wire nuts, and load the TT wires into your WAGO connectors. White is (-), red is (+). This will free up the inner trim panel now for removal.Access the TT roof, *usual safety lecture here* and begin scraping DICOR from the metal mounting bracket using your nylon scraping tool. CAREFUL - it's easy to gouge the EPDM. A sunny day helps, it makes the DICOR tacky. You want to expose the screws holding the OEM fan to your roof deck.Remove all 28 screws, and try not to think about all of the holes that are in your roof. Gently pull each side, using your nylon scraper to assist the DICOR in letting go. The vent fan should pull free if you are careful. Set aside old vent fan. (picture)RVLovent provides their own hardware with the fan, but I chose to reuse the Keystone square drive screws since they were previously in the roof. Unfortunately, the new fan holes don't line up with the original ones. More holes - that's great. The RVLovent uses 16 screws. I began by sinking screws at each corner, and working my way inward to ensure a flat mounting. Ensure all screws are snug.The new fan is FAR more powerful and quiet than the original. Time will tell as far as longevity but this is better than a HENGS I installed in my old Jayco, which was solid but basic and noisy. The remote is a bonus for the Mrs. who is too short to reach the ceiling mounted controls... I haven't tested the rain sensing function yet but in the limited usage of the fan so far I am very pleased with the upgrade.

I have another of this exact fan, purchased a couple of years ago, in an offroad camper. Both perform flawlessly. This one was installed today. No instructions needed IMHO. The first noticeable difference, the new one is much quieter. The lid motor is quieter and the fan seems quieter. The offroad camper is much smaller, 5ft.x10ft. This one is in a 19 foot travel trailer. Hard to determine if the lower noise is from a lower cam, but it's pulling cool air into the trailer, from one open window, well. Seems to be the same quality build as the first. I highly recommend this fan. Full featured, all necessary screws and wiring was plenty long. Great product!

This thing is awesome. Fan is massive. Hands down my favorite purchase for my camper yet. It has variable speeds, in and out mode. Easy installation. Rain detector mode, so when my kids leave it open it shuts by itself. Already came in handy.

I installed two of these in our toy hauler. With high ceilings the remote control means no more step ladder to adjust them. These work well, the fan is quiet and moves a lot of air. They look good and even came with a spare fuse.My only small gripe is that you have to remember to turn the rain sensor on. It seems like it should be on by default.

Good quality, straightforward installation, works well

I installed 2 of these a year ago. They get used 1-3 times per month for hours at a time. They're great. You can control the fan from either the remote of the fan itself, which is handy in saving the remote batteries. Speeds are adjustable in 10% increments and the fan is very quiet from 10-40%. Even at higher speeds it's still relatively quiet, but you can tell it's moving a lot of air. On a hot day I'll turn both on to exhaust and open a large window at the center of the RV. You can feel a breeze coming in from the window. This really helps the AC catch up. Install was straight forward and problem free.Only minor gripes (VERY minor) is that 1) the rain sensor function is off be default. I'd prefer it the other way around so I don't forget it. 2) LED lights on the fan itself can't be turned off, even when the unit is operating with the lid open and fan at 0%.I've had maxair and fantastic fans. If I were buying again I'd do with these ones. Just as capable and half the price.

This fan works absolutely terrific. I was iffy after looking at the reviews, and thought I may just go with a name brand, but it definitely worked out. I’ve had it for a year, running almost every day, and I have not had any problems. I would say, I need to find a replacement screen for it though. I pull the screen down all the time to clean it, and in doing so, I have broken a few tabs off the screen that hold it in. Hopefully I will be able to find some.

Great fan. It has 2 directional modes. The convenience of the remote is a bonus.Recently the remote stopped working. And unfortunately the buttons on the on the fan do not work.Is there a way of replacing the operational pad or new remote? I don’t know. I’m pretty sure it’s the operational pad that’s out of sorts.
