I would get a Maxxaire type where the fan is located to the rear away from the opening and pointed down so it could be run in the rain, etc. don't know if fantastic has such an arrangement. of course could put a maxxaire cover over a fantastic fan if you want extra work/expense.
I think I have seen variable speed fans but 14 speeds seems more like a sales gimmick than necessary. just more to go wrong?

I researching this topic, since I am also considering adding a fan or two to my new RV..... I learned taht MaxxAir has stopped making this Turbo model with the fan up in the cover. I asked why, since this is the one I was leaning to, but did not receive an answer. Just confirmation taht it is discontinued.
I liked it in thory, mainly because it looked like an easier retrofit.
Their new MaxxFan has the integral cover and looks nice, but it does ad compleity that I'm not convinced in needed. It does offer a more streamlined install though when closed..... which might help to get me another 0.00001MPG!
Also, there is a youtube video showing why the fantastic vent cover is superior to maxx cover and the others. I just picked up a cover the otehr day but haven't installed it yet..... still deciding which one to put a fan in an which fan I'll be getting..... but the fantastic fan cover looks like it's designed to allow the regular vent cover to open fully, where the others are not.
