Fantastic Vent Cover

I finally got around to installing an Ultra Breeze cover over the Fantastic Fan in the galley. Very easy installation. It's only been 7 years that I got around to doing this.

Then I was going to put one over the fan vent (traditional hand crank) in the bathroom but I realized the opening of the vent cover would be about 4 inches from the drain-stack pipe. We wouldn't be keeping the fan on in the bathroom for long periods of time because it is so loud, but if we had a vent cover it could stay open and still provide ventilation. Without the fan blowing outward, the gases from the drain-stack pipe might be sucked back into the RV. What do you think?

    I just put one on our Fantastic fan vent. really looking forward to being able to both use it open a bit going down the road AND to not have it go closed early in the morning when the dew collects on the sensor. The main reason I bought it.
    Our tank vent is nearby but we only use the fan to pull out air.

    I've been thinking of doing the same thing. My RV has covers on the kitchen and bedroom vents, but not the bathroom. During storage etc I always leave the covered vents open for air circulation. It would be nice to put a cover on the bathroom, I just wonder why most people don't do this? My sewer vent is about a foot away from the bathroom vent/fan.

    The only time I notice ours is SOMETIMES right when we stop and the tank hasn't been dumped in a while and is mixed all up from driving. Not too often though.

    Ours doesn't but have a little more space to pipe. Not an issue when going down the road. Only take a few inches and it vents well.
