What roof vent covers for Fantastic Fans

[joebedford]

My rig is 12 years old and it has 2 original Fantastic Fans. I want to put covers over these and I'm not sure what to get. Seems my fans are discontinued and the current covers are for more current fans. For example, apparently some new fans have mounts for covers; mine don't.

I bought a cover for the manual bath vent and with it installed, I won't be able to open the vent completely. Less so for FF as I think the vent opens even higher. Also, the vertical part of the FF is plastic - not sure how the brackets would screw into that (the bathroom manual fan is metal).

I don't have access to any of the FF mounting screws as they covered in thick sealer.

Any suggestions?

I use the Camco AeroFlo vent covers. Easy to install, easily opened for cleaning (2 screws), and they are a bit more aerodynamic than others on the market. They're also quite reasonably priced, and so far are holding up quite well (3 years and counting) in the SoCal sun.

Fantastic Vent cover HANDS DOWN!!! No stupid screen to block air flow. Added mine in 2015 with RV in the Sun almost every day still look new.

^^^^^^^^^^^

This! They work, flow more air than other hoods. I added some silicone rubber washers to the mounting pins so the small hitch pins were a tight fit, but that is all.

Thanks for the Amazon links. Think I didn't look there?

Either "On Backorder" or "Out of Stock"

Sorry, the link was broken. It is now fixed above. I don't see either problem, and the price has dropped a bit.

Just an FYI, but in looking at the new style Maxx-Air-2 in black they no longer have the screen, and now a bit easier mount as well.

I plan to put these on my 14x14 OEM vents with small fan.

I think the new style maxx air, for high powered fans, no longer comes with supplied screen, but can be added with optional screen.

It appears like maxx air is also implying that a screen is not needed?

Being you brought it up and you always say your things are better than any others. Over and over and over.

So Here It Is! 😛

Do you REALLY believe every persons reviews??? Anyone in their right mind knows that was literally smashed by impact!!!

Please try to come up with something more believable.

Don't believe I have ever said anything negative about the Maxx cover other than it having a not needed screen.

I put the officil FANTASTIC FAN Cover on mine and found I could not open it all the way.

Maxx air would be a good choice as well

NOTE they need not be fully open however if they are not they may tend to "Self Close".

Interesting, I have Maxx Air Fans and the fantastic covers open just fine. Wonder of you placed the cover too far towards the open end?

Personal opinion, and mine is I get what I pay for and my opinion the Fantastic Vent is better and I really don't care what they cost.

I found a 3-pack of fantastic vent hoods for $500+ and thought "That's wildly expensive" until I found a single fantastic vent hood for about $600!

While I think the fantastic vent hood is the best, I think I'll buy the MaxxAir Fanmate which is available at a reasonable price.

That's too funny! Don't think you looked too hard. Now you know the truth what cover are you going to buy now????????
