Maxxair Vent Covers

I have Model Fan-Tastic Vent w/Rain Sensor w/Travel Lock vent Fans with powered covers, etc. on my 2017 Newmar Ventana and want to install Maxxair covers. Maxxair offers 3 models including the original Maxxair, Maxxair II, and the Maxxair Fanmate. Can anyone give advise to which one will accommodate the auto cover on my vent van and is best for the Fantastic fan?

As a general rule, all 14 X 14 vent fan covers will fit any 14 X 14 vent fan.

What does cause confusion is the mounting method as some covers were designed to utilize the built in attachment point of a specific group of vent fans so you are not screwing or mounting anything else to the roof or vent fan flange.

But as for size and opening clearances, pretty much all 14 X 14's are universal.

Will the MaxxAir Fanmate fit over the Fan-Tastic Vent fan?


Yes mine fits very well,and they are UN SCREENED,it is an option I see no use for as the Fantastic Fan has one builtin. Mine has no screen.

Depending on your Newmar, the maxair covers can be installed using 4 clip pins that allow you to release and open the cover to clean.

All their covers are constructed of high density polyethylene with maximum UV inhibitors,they cost less and last longer than the Fantastic Vent Cover

I have 4 other Maxx Air Covers on my RV that are 7 years old and show no sign of chalking or brittleness,it sits outside here in sunny So Cal.

I have to agree! I have had Maxx Air Covers on my vents for over 10 years and they still look new.

Is the Fan-Tastic Vent U1500BL Ultra Breeze Vent Cover the right cover for the Fan-Tastic Vent w/Rain Sensor w/Travel Lock vent Fan?

The Fantastic Vent cover are TOP quality and flow air because they don't have an unneeded screen to reduce air flow.


No they don't fall apart! I have had these on for 3 full years now staying in the Sun year round with over 1/2 the time in PalmSprings, CA.

Second RV with these covers.

Unlike the Fantastic Vent covers that only have a 3 year Warranty, they seem not to last that long.
