In today's video I am going to show you how to upgrade and install aftermarket vent fans in your existing RV fan vent cutouts.
We own a Winnebago Micro Minnie FLX 2108DS tow behind travel trailer. The camper was equipped with your standard Ventline square vents which included the cheap factory installed fans.
The factory installed vans are small, inefficient as well as ineffective at moving any significant amount of air.
I am a big fan of the Maxxair style fans and in fact have installed before in our previous camper, a Runaway Campers Range Runner squaredrop camper.
Of course, it's always a good idea to avoid cutting into your roofline if at all possible and these vent fan aftermarket inserts make the job easy as cake.
Generally, for less than $100 bucks you can upgrade your existing fan mechanism to a seriously more powerful as well as more efficient fan system in a matter of about 15 minutes.
Today, I am going to walk you through, step by step, the process of how I installed an aftermarket vent fan in our existing roof cut outs.
In doing this, now that both fan cut outs will contain an aftermarket high powered 12v vent fan, we can cut down on our overall use of our air conditioning while keeping the camper cool and comfortable should the outside weather get warmer than would be comfortable.
Living in an off grid way, the more we can save on power the better and while our 2108DS is capable of running the Air Conditioning even while on battery power, it will consume and use up most of the battery power in a short period of time.
With these two, extremely efficient 12v aftermarket vent fans, I am sure it will help us to stay cool while at the same time saving us much coveted battery power and energy.
I hope this video proves helpful as you attempt to tackle this project on your own.
You will simply need wire cutters, wire crimpers a drill, a phillips head screw bit or driver, a square bit or driver, small drill bit for the rivets and a few wire connectors ( I prefer butt splices ).

MY 2108DS has a fan in the head and one over the murphy bed. Years on the hook in florida taught us the importance of shade and air movement.

[@livingwithrob]

Agree. I'm not sure why, on this FLX model they put the 2 fans so close together. Doesn't make sense to me.

The "I don't wanna pay a guy" man makes another appearance!

[@livingwithrob]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍

[@user-xe3fl9bd1k]

Funny i just finished installing a vortex in my MM yesterday not as quiet as original fan but anytime you move air its gonna make noise.

[@livingwithrob]

100 % agree!

Great video! Thanks for the clear instructions. My factory installed small overhead fan stopped working so I'm taking the time to put in a better fan. I have a Winnebago Micro Minnie 1708FB. Rob, based on the video description, it sounds like you installed two different fan brands - a VentLine and a Vortex. Do you prefer one over the other? Was one more quiet than the other? And if one were easier to install, I'd like to know that as well. Love the funny interactions between you two! Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

[@livingwithrob]

Hi and thanks for reaching out. Yes, one is in fact quieter than the other. Not much, but it is. They are both the same difficulty on the install...which is not difficult at all. This fan is the quieter of the two. amzn.to/3QxblI1 The second fan is more stout however. The second fan, while a tad louder, has a much more sturdy cover screen. The first fan's screen is difficult to remove to clean and it's not built really well. The screen came loose from it's plastic frame after a time and was loose. The factory was GREAT about replacing it...actually sent me the whole fan set up again...just for the screen. But again, the quieter fan screen is a real S.O.B. to get off to clean. Here's the second installed fan link. amzn.to/3y9yJFf I hope you find this helpful. You made Joelle's heart happy with the comments on our interactions. 🥰

@@livingwithrob Thanks so much! Very helpful information. I'll order the better built (and slightly noisier) one.

[@livingwithrob]

@@PrimeTimeOrganized happy to help...as always. Let me know how it goes!

[@JB-eo3iq]

I pity who ever ends up with this can of worms this trailer is turning into. do not do as this fool does! 😣

[@livingwithrob]

Thanks for the input.

[@user-xe3fl9bd1k]

Geez really.

[@JB-eo3iq]

@@user-xe3fl9bd1k yes really, i say this as a red seal millwright, this thing is being hacked to pieces. I can appreciate the diy spirit but if you’re going to make videos instructing on doing a job, do the research and do it right. but kudos for trying.
