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.

Based on what I've seen, the Airxcel MaxxFan Deluxe 7500K Smoke Model seems like the best, when compared with the other fans, and the other brands like Fantastic Fan, Heng's, etc.

The Deluxe MaxxFan seems to be the only one out there with a built-in Rain Shield.

Also, according to an Airxcel employee, the remote control system for the MaxxFans are not supposed to draw power when the fans are off, like some other remote controlled fans do when they're off and not in use. Can anybody comment on if this is true or not?

I'm thinking about going for two 7500K Smoke Deluxe MaxxFans for these features, etc.:

1. built-in Rain Shield
2. Smoke Color to let more light into the bathroom, etc.
3. Remote Controlled fan and lid for ease of use
4. Bi-directional fans so I can have one intake and one exhaust fan
5. 10 speeds
6. Thermostat

Would two 7500K Smoke Colored Deluxe MaxxFans be the best choice on the market? Or would there be other products you think I should consider?

Let me know, thanks.
  • 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.
  • I installed two MaxxFan Deluxe Smoke Models with out remote in my camper van this last summer and I really like them, love the built in rain shield.
  • Good choice. I could have purchased any fan I wanted. In the past I have had the Vortex, Fantastic, and Maxx. For my current trailer I chose the Maxx 7500K for our bedroom.

    I can't answer your question about power draw, I never even thought about it.
