[@turnbullstravels735]

We have the same fan…I’ve been convinced it had a remote I had just lost! Lol, thanks for letting me know I can stop searching.

[@robertabrams8562]

I’ve always liked these rain covers on max fans, as a opposed to just the rain sensor function. It’s a real drag not having ceiling ventilation when cooking on rainy day/nights! I’ve always wondered why manufacturers don’t install them as a standard feature on ALL class vehicle models, as oppose to purchasing them as an after-factory item !? Greats to see videos again from the Dynamic Duo…Cheers as always 🥂🖖🏼

[@paulacartwrightjohnson8479]

So glad y’all are back! Miss see y’all videos!

[@Tangoisinthesouth]

Started to wonder if you were ok. Glad to see you back.

[@Weretherussos]

We’re good just gotta take some time off from time to time

[@lindastrous5243]

Thank you. Glad to see you both. Stay safe.

[@Weretherussos]

Thank you! Will do!

[@tim_gifford]

I have the Maxxair vent fan with remote that is also reversible. It is the best upgrade I added to our trailer. It was easy to install. We’ve used the 78° open feature many times and it works flawlessly. The main thing with the built in rain cover is I’ve left it on and open while driving down the road on hot and rainy days with no water leakage and a wonderful job of pulling heat out of our trailer. It’s also very quiet while running

[@Weretherussos]

Great to hear!

[@roberthauser5635]

We thoroughly enjoy your comments on your camper, and your overall set up! We are thinking of leaving our wonderful AirStream. And we come over Landers

Thanks Joe, great product review. I’ve always wanted one for our camper.

[@Weretherussos]

Well worth the investment

[@dianetrempe9283]

We have this fan on our rv-trailer and we love it 🥰

[@Weretherussos]

Good to hear!

[@AnnieGill7]

Very helpful and good to know, especially the condensation problem and solution. Good job!

[@Weretherussos]

Glad it was helpful Annie!

[@billintexas7061]

I love mine too. I open the side windows in the truck camper and turn it on low speed and it brings the cool air in nicely.

[@Weretherussos]

Right on!

[@johnwilliamson9453]

Thanks again, Russos!

I agree the Maxxair fan is the best. I had one in my TT and it worked great. 👍🏼

Thanks for the great review and the important information for me about getting the remote control. I am short and wouldn’t be able to reach the manual controls. Safe travels and keep the videos coming.

[@Weretherussos]

You're welcome!

[@billmansfield7369]

Hey Joe, great review of a great product, I have the remote control one on my Class C and its amazing. Nice nomex military flight suit you have.

[@Weretherussos]

The suits make great work overalls

[@mickylawless1941]

Whew…I’ve missed you guys. I have a fantastic fan in my class b rv. Do not care for it. Would love to switch it out for a Maxxxair fan.

[@Weretherussos]

It’s an easy and worthwhile upgrade

[@oscarmike4596]

👍excellent thank u

[@Judygurl2]

My van is long enough that I have two Maxxair fans. One has a remote, since it's only reachable by climbing onto the bed. As a full timer, it's great to have airflow when rain makes it difficult to open doors and windows. While cooking I have one blowing in while the other exhausts.

[@Weretherussos]

Having two is awesome - glad your enjoying them!

[@keithkolb2436]

Thank you for your detail write up and video. Helped me make my decision. I decided on the MaxxAir that does not have all the whistles and bells, Maxxair Vent Corp 00-06401K Maxxfan DLX Vent and the price drops down to $187.84 and ordered 2 units and might order 2 more for another project. After you saying condensation is causing the electronics to go haywire, sometime simple is better "KISS", I can live with 4 speeds and put in a 3 way switch to reverse polarity to get it to blow and suck excuse the pun. I was at Dillion Van Expo and was hoping to visit but didn't see you. Keep up the good stories.

[@Weretherussos]

Hi Keith - you may still want/need to coat the board because the fan controls are what shorted on ours.

[@alohatvj]

It is a great 👍 👌 😀 fan according to other RV owners.

[@Weretherussos]

Yes 👍

[@elainecrawford6891]

Been missing The Russos! ♥️

[@byrdrvadventures637]

Thanks, this helped me make the decision on which one to buy our class C has no stove vent hood, and even with a fan blowing out the window right next to the stove the fire alarm is always going off we are hoping this will do the trick!!

[@douglas4855]

Ya ya how much. Does it make ice

[@lrobie123]

nice

[@suzannewch7202]

Yeah! WTR Wednesdays are back! Could you install this fan on a vintage GMC motor home?😂

[@Weretherussos]

Of course!

[@scottevans5038]

When are you guy's going back on the road?

[@tracirobertson7499]

When are you going to write another book?

[@jillboggess1790]

We have this same fan on our three year old Class B van. It is great, but be forewarned that ours is having a problem with the Automatic Lift Operator Mechanism and the part is not available anywhere. It is back ordered, even at the manufacturer. We have been able to clean and lubricate to help, but it still is not operating correctly. We hope the part will become available soon.

[@Weretherussos]

The fan we got has the manual lift - as long as you’re able to reach the knob, this eliminates those types of problems.

[@haroldpuhle2471]

What is the product you have hanging on the wall behind your sink in this video? 😊

[@jeffreyblake704]

Ausome upgrade, do the new fans add much height to the already tall vehichle.?

[@Weretherussos]

Not really. Unless you don’t have anything on the roof (which is unlikely) it only sticks up a few inches when in the down position.

[@bobw9297]

for full timers they are the way to go , but for weekenders $$$$

[@ianfurqueron5850]

Perhaps... but I've seen so many folks who installed Fantastic Fans only to replace them with Maxxair fans a short time later. It seems you really do get what you pay for.

[@bobw9297]

[@2Dawoods]

@@Weretherussos ordered 1 Small and one Large!! thank you!!! I saw that it was your inspiration to create those as well!!

[@user-bd5ni8vr5c]

great video thank you. I actually have a question: due to space issue can I install the fan back to front? which is the opening side to front. Would it be a problem when driving? Thanks

[@Weretherussos]

I don’t know, you’d need to ask the company that makes them

[@stacyoneill4218]

great video! what type of spray did you use on the control panel? I have the same issue with the control panel and want to protect my next one! thanks!

[@Weretherussos]

Hi Stacy - we put a link to the spray coating in the description of this video

[@FEARNoMore]

How sensitive is the rain sensor? Does morning dew or fog trigger it to close? Thanks! Great to see you both.😉

[@Weretherussos]

We didn’t get one with the sensor - we’ve never liked them and you don’t need it with the rain cover.

[@FEARNoMore]

@@Weretherussos Gotcha, thanks

[@beau4526]

Hi, Do you think two Maxxair fans, or would one be sufficient, or one with an additional vent. This is in regard to a pop up camper (Hawk)? Thanks

[@Weretherussos]

One is sufficient but I would suggest a cover for the additional vent.

[@DestinationHere]

Do you still buy one of those larger covers to go on the outside of it so that you can leave it open ion the rain?

[@Weretherussos]

No the integrated cover provides the same protection.

[@musicaflowerchild5540]

Mine worked twice and is now broken.

[@John-eq8cu]

How much light does it let through? It's dark colored on the outside, but lookup up frok inside, it's all white. Can you explain how it lets light in?

[@Weretherussos]

Very little. It’s not meant to let light in as it’s a vent, not a skylight

[@jangibson6942]

I can't install the Maxxair with the vent trailing due to a rear solar panel. So I need to find out if I can have it to the side or front. I know forwards is not a good idea although I have the AC in front of it to break the airflow. Any thoughts?

[@Weretherussos]

I’d suggest calling the company and checking with them.

[@jangibson6942]

@@Weretherussos Yep, I did and they said sidways was the best option and forwads facing is not an option

[@Weretherussos]

Good to know - thanks!

[@paula.jackson5463]

Where are you guys, and what do you own now?

[@Weretherussos]

We’ll announce that when we have it 👍

[@paulg492]

Will the new mobile dwelling have Maxxairs?

[@paula.jackson5463]

@@Weretherussos We have missed You both so much! Loved the picture of You all at the tree, what a Loving Son and Daughter-in-law to haul all the way across the country to be a Blessing and be with a Blessing!

[@xanderbarr1983]

So, buy a new fan, take it apart and fix it, then install it? This is the best???

[@Weretherussos]

Unfortunately with the options we have nothing is great however, you can make this fan very good by doing what I describe in the video

[@M1k3y0501]

No they shouldn’t. You’re lucky if it lasts a year. $250 lemon mine was. Didn’t move nearly the amount of air a Fantastic fan does. Operator mechanism is made out of cast aluminum garbage…doomed to fail, and the gearbox leaks oil. Had both replaced under warranty the first year. Year 2 gearbox leaked oil still, and the main circuit board failed after it started having a mind of it’s own. The circuit board thing is a known issue they wouldn’t stand behind. Their tech support guy Dale Cox, is rude. Would be interested to hear how yours holds up on down the road if you keep your rig that long.

[@ramlinman2004]

If the board has moisture issues the company should have coated them at the factory....JUNK!
