MAXXAIR Maxxfan Deluxe Vent, Fan and Vent Cover All in One - Powerful 4-Speed Reversible Fan with Thermostat, Built-in Rain Cover, Exhuast Air Only, Fits 14"" x14 Roof Openings, Smoke (00-06401K)

My fault I didn't read the full description, this fan only extracts and has now remote control I thought that the deluxe would have all of the top features .also can't turn it on and off with a remote switch

届くの遅くて予定がずれてまだ取り付けしてませんし開けても無いがMAXファンだから物は間違い無いと思いたい。

We purchased the 06401K Maxxair DLX Vent to replace the rooftop RV Air Conditioner in our Lance Squire Lite truck camper, because we almost always boondock camp (no generator). This unit has no remote, is manual opening, and only exhausts air at 4 speeds....we went with the simple one. At the lowest speed, the fan noise was unnoticeable. At high speed, it was tolerably quiet. Installation is definitely a DIY project, as long as you're comfortable safely accessing the roof of your RV, and working with power tools and wiring. If you're removing a 115v AC unit as we did, be sure you're disconnected from all power sources before starting, and those units are heavy and awkward up on the roof....be safe. The entire fan assembly fit perfectly in the 14"x14" opening, which, from what I understand, is pretty much the standard size opening for RV roof vents and AC units. I cleaned up the old opening of all old sealant and dirt with rags and acetone (our roof is stainless steel sheet...other materials may not be compatible with strong solvent cleaners). We located12v power just a few inches away at a light fixture. The wiring to the fan motor is about 16ga, and about 18" long, so it was plenty sufficient to reach. I had to drill a small hole in the wood that framed the opening to fish the wires through, and easily retrieved them through the hole for the light fixture wires. The inner cosmetic trim ring will need to be cut down to adapt to the thickness of your roof. I just used a utility knife backed with a piece of wood and guided with a straight edge. The material was thin and soft to get through with a couple of passes. Other stuff you'll need to complete the project: Rags and cleaner/solvent to clean and prep the roof Butyl seal tape to place between the roof and the exterior flange Lap Sealant (one tube is plenty used generously) to seal the screws and exterior edge Some wire butt splices to crimp wire leads to the power source. Maybe some electrical tape to make things neat. Tools: A pry bar to gently release the old fixture from the roof, after removing fasteners. Scrapers for roof prep #2 Screwdriver (a drill/driver makes fastening into the roof much easier). Length of stiff wire or wire fishing tool, to pull fan wires to your power source Wire strippers/cutters/crimper I expect this to be the most useful upgrade we've done yet to the camper....it will allow some diffused light and ventilation where the unused AC unit did not.

perfect fit, works silently on low settings, expensive for what it is. Got it because I can leave it open 24/7 all year long without worrying about rain! And because it's quiet. Doesn't like my old power converter '95 rv runs only on higher speeds. I'm replacing the power converter for a newer style anyway ...because it overcharges batteries. I thought at first it was a problem with the higher voltage as mentioned in other reviews ... but then tried it with my auto 12v charger at voltages as high as 14.4 ... and fan ran perfectly in all the 4 speeds ... although faster! Hope it works for the long term.

Great fan unit, recieved after a few issues with shipping.Was a bit late installing (no issues with installation - very easy), though unfortunately the fan unit emits a high pitched and variable noise at even the lowest fan setting even after a long attempt to break the fan in running at higher speed. Despite replying to my initial email confirming a replacement motor would be sent, promised followup has not eventuated despite multiple reminder emails sent from my end and the passage of several months.

しまった〜。大失敗です。これ内側から外に排気する専用です。取り付けて、やっと気づきました。最大限の用心をして購入前に内容を確認すれば良かったと後悔しています。マックスファンって、外気も入れる事ができると聞いていたのに、53000円もするので、てっきり外気も入れられると思ってました。取り付けた後に動かして見てびっくり。フタの開閉はモーターじゃなく完全な手動です。国産の家庭用の扇風機は1〜2万円代で ものすごい先端の技術が詰めこまれた優れた製品が多いですが、マックスファン、それに比べて機能の割には値段は高い、実際に目の前にして、せいぜい、38000円で良いのでは？ 頑張っても43000円が良いところです。外気が入らない、リモコンもついてないで、この値段は内容不足です。出品者さんは、なぜこの一機種しか出さないのだろう？ 比較するものが有れば、機能が違うことに気づくはずです。 それから、外気を入れるのは 暑い夏の夜を気持ちよく過ごすのに非常に大切なのです。取り付けているので返す訳にも行かないし、これから長くキャンピングカーとして使うのに、大変なハンディーになります。排気だけなので窓を開けて外気を入れるのは、窓ガラスを取り替えねばならないので、それだけで9〜10万円します。思わぬ所で失敗しました。 それと蓋が黒だけでなく、白もあるなら出品すべきでは？ せっかく買うのに、大きな表示で、注意点や機能の違いを比較できるように説明すべきです。 ところで肝心な点ですが、非常に使いやすく、音も大変静かです。室内高は160cmですので、開閉は手動で十分です。このタイプではマックスファンはトップと思います。 それから取り付け時に 本体を乗せる時、横からビスを打ちますが、まずビスが入ってなかったので、手持ちのものをつけました。誰でも苦労するのが ビスの穴の位置が噛み合わない。他の方の工夫をみましたら、金属棒を差し込むとスムーズに行ったそうで、私も試したら、3箇所はスッと上手く行きました。しかし最後の4箇所目がうまくいかず、それで金属の穴あけビスをプラスティック壁どおしにうち込み固定しました。 原因は内側にあるビスのメス側が完全な固定式ではなく、ただ挟み込んだ形式で、どうもこの辺りの作りが曖昧なのが原因です。 それから据付にはガラス接着用の黒いボンドを使うと思います。それだけでなく、後でシーリングを塗った方が、雨漏りはには効果があります。 私は初日に雨漏りしたので、翌日、シーリングを塗り、完全防水ができました。ご参考にされてください。
