Want to replace vent with MaxAir

X2 on this one. I have had the same question.

I'm still fairly new to this also. But, apparently it's easy to remove the inner ring of the vent and you can then look around inside the ceiling cavity and put the ring back. All without removing the vent from the roof itself.

Well, I went ahead and called the manufacturer. According to Joe, he doesn't think it is wired but not sure. He said to take the inside plastic piece off and double check. He said I may be surprised at what I find because a lot of the newer trailers are built with the option of adding later. Ok, so he wasn't a tremendous amount of help but he was really nice. Guess I will go to the storage facility and check it out later as this could possibly be a project for the weekend if it will work. Crossing fingers but not holding my breath.

If you have a 12v ceiling light fixture near the vent you should be able run the wires with little trouble.

I added a fan to a vent that had no power to it. Yes, the plastic trim is only held on by 4 screws so it's very easy to take it off and check. If no power is right there, tsp into the nearest 12 volt light. It's very easy to snake wires above the ceiling if a source isn't too far away.

Thanks! I had thought of that but wasn't sure how easy it would be. I will check that out when I go to storage.

Is it easy to get access above the ceiling?

A Maxx Air vent just covers the opening of the original vent....are you looking to install a Maxx Air Fan?????

As noted it is easy to pull power from the nearest light fixture. Get the model that has the motor and fan up above and outside of the coach, they are much quieter.

Do you run the wire above and hide the wire or below the ceiling?
