MaxxFan (Smoke with Remote Control) Best For Ventilation?

Hi all, I have a lot of work being done to my camper right now. Before re-sealing and coating the roof, I thought it would be best to install 2 high-quality vent fans for several different reasons....

Thanks, J, did you not need a remote since you have a small van?

Anybody have any other thoughts on the pros and cons of MaxxFans with or without Remote Control?

I'm assuming the Airxcel employee was being honest, but I'd like to get some user feedback on if the Remote Control MaxxFans draw power or not when they're off, and not in use.


BreakAes, you are right! a small van GMC Savana 2500 no remote needed,
two fans do to no extra windows that open with screens.
