Fan-tastic Ultrabreeze Vent Cover

have put in 2 fantastic vents. never have had a cover on them. watched a video on their site, definitely shows no air restriction with the Fan-tastic Ultrabreeze Vent Cover. we never really needed a cover because of short time summer camping, but now longer times, and have had rain. are they something people really use.
also does the smoke color help with the sun coming thru
  • I use vent covers on my bedroom and bathroom fans. I have the smoke colored one on the bedroom but so much light comes through the shade it doesn't matter. Either color is fine. Yes they really help when it rains unless it's blowing hard. I also like having them if it hails, extra protection against damaging the vent covers.

    B.O.
  • We love ours, the vent cover doesn't flat in the wind any longer and can leave it open all the time with no worries.
  • kind of what I thought
    just ordered 2. on sale for 50.00 camping world
  • IMHO FantasticVent is by far the best vent cover on the market. The problem is the others have a screen behind the grill, the FV does not.

    I installed three on our new MS last Summer. Easy install, quality product!

  • I wouldn't be without them.
    I just installed two Fan-tastic Ultrabreeze Vent Covers (smoke color) on our new Arctic Fox TT. :)

    They come without screens behind the grill but screens are available for them as a separate item. The screens are rather courser mesh which doesn't cut down the air flow like a fine weave would.
  • Just relating here my own observations on vent covers FWIW

    Our camper has
    one new Fantastic Ultrabreeze vent cover and 3 Maxaire vent covers
    I bought the Ultra breeze based on the increased air flow specs I read about

    However
    In a hard rain situation
    Our Ultra Breeze vent cover allows water to blow in and drip into the camper
    Our Maxaire vent covers have never allowed water inside the camper
    Not in this camper or any of the previous campers we have owned

    I will stay with the Maxaire design from now on
  • I have always just used Maxx-Airs on all my vents. I can't see any reason why more air flow would be any advantage. I can get a bunch of air moving with the M-As.

    I did line the one over the bedroom vent with aluminum tape (Air Conditioning Duct Tape) to cut down the amount of morning light coming in. I have now replaced this vent with a 9000 BTU A/C unit.

    I had considered that, even the vent cover on my old TT did the same, however I still went with the Fan-tastic Ultrabreeze vent covers on our new TT. I like the way they allow the lid to open up further for a natural air flow without the fans running.

    I am the opposite. I didn't put a vent cover on the vent over the bed. I didn't want to cut down on the morning light coming in. Nothing better than a hot cup of coffee just after dawn! ;)
  • On our second trailer with the covers and wouldn't go with out them. Always thought rain was the only issue to protect against but changed that thought after a buddy had his vent lid ripped of by Midwest High Winds. He then installed covers.
  • I put the fantastic vent over the upgraded bathroom fantastic fan to better ventilate showers. Moisture is the enemy in the Rv. Haven't had any rain intrusion in 2 years.
