Vent fan upgrades

I'm on the verge of purchasing a new travel trailer. It has three roof vents with the tiny little fans. Upgrades will be in order ASAP. Looking for recommendations. I may do the Vortex version in the bathroom, but am looking at the nicer ones for the bedroom and living area. I'm handy enough but totally ignorant to all the new options out there. Looking for suggestions on quality units and advice on install considerations.

That's the direction I'm leaning. Thanks for the input!

I agree with Deltabravo. Put one in our bedroom works great and quiet for a vent fan.

Easiest to install are the Vortex as they will go into the existing vent. The Maxx Air are a little nicer and slightly quieter; however they require replacing the entire vent assy.

MAXXFAN is the only brand I buy now.
I prefer the style that has the built in rain cover. I like the low profile of them for reduced overall height.

You can get them that are manually open/close or remotely operated.
I get the manual style

The smoke hood is my preference.

They aren't terribly difficult to install. Here's my installation video.

I swapped the tiny little fan in the kitchen area and it does pull more air. The downside side is it noisy.
