The standard MaxxAir cover is really for unpowered vents. The external cover which allows you to open an unpowered vent when it is raining, and to shade direct sunlight from the actual open vent.
You want a better fan vent - Fan-Tastic and Create-A-Breeze are the two biggest names in the field.
Fan-Tastic has a good reputation and a strong following. I really haven't heard anything bad about Create-A-Breeze but I don't see/ hear about as many rigs with them.
Powered vent installation is a bit more complex than adding a vent cover like the MaxxAir.
If you are replacing a powered vent - the wiring part is usually simple. The opening in the roof should be the same size and it's a matter of taking out the old vent frame, installing the new vent frame and water proofing the roof area around the frame.
MaxxAir does sell a vent cover designed for the greater air flow of a powered roof vent. It runs 2 to 3 times as much as the unpowered vent covers price wise.
