well i need new vent covers for my rv, looking at the all weather covers. but the cost.are these things worth so much money? local shop wants $80. usd each.$300.usd for just a fancy vent cover / with built in fan, that closes when it rains.

Is that installed? You can buy Camco vent covers for $15 at Wal-Mart. I bought my Max Air covers for 20 each about 7 years ago.

Have had Maxair covers for years and usually keep the vents open whenever it is in storage. If not needing AC or heat it is great to leave them open and not worry about the rain or snow. As said the cost is below $20 each and quick to install.

i do not have the brand in front of me. but yes the cost is through the roof.i can not see paying there price. big rv dealer in manteca ca.

Go on-line to Camping World and they are $30-$60 or try ebay or Amazon.

I think he is talking about Max Air Fans, not covers, His description of what he is looking at is Max Air Fans (They blow down so they can be used rain or shine)

I put the fantastac Fan cover on my Fantastic fan Camco's on the bathroom fans.

A new lid can be picked up at your local RV dealer for $10 or so. Take the old one with you, there are a couple of different hinge styles. Removal is easy, detach it from the arm and slide it off.

If you want a giant improvement in the ability to vent warm air, cooking smells, etc, go with a Maxxair fan or Fantastic Fan. Pricey, but well worth it, IMHO.

IMHO and have owned others the FantasticVent is by far the best out there as it actually allows MUCH more air to travel thru. WELL worth the $$$.

Don't have to worry about rain sensors working and having a RV full of water.

Seems to me you're confusing simple vent covers costing perhaps $30 to $60 USD to powered vent kits costing hundreds $$$. Since you said you need "new vent covers" that would suggest you're replacing existing ones which have deteriorated and if so a simple vent cover is all you need. Hard to offer suggestions when you're unclear about exactly what it is you want. :h
