Maxxair original vs Maxxair 2 - experience

[silverbullet555]

I'd like to put a Maxxair cover on one of the vents on our Lance 845 so I can leave a vent open.

First, do they keep out water as advertised?

Second, any experience in the 1 vs the 2?

It's only a $10 price difference so that isn't a concern.

Just checking to see if the new design created issues or maybe isn't as good as the original?

I intend to put vortex fan (already have) in one of the vents as well.

I have the old Maxxair Original and the Fanmate,which has the same pin/hinge mounting as the Maxxair 2.No problems with with water getting in on them at all.

The thing I like about the Maxxair 2 is the pin/hinged mounting like my Fanmate,it makes opening,cleaning or replacing the vent lid easy. The original has a bolt down mounting,much harder to open for maintenance.

If I ever have to replace my old ones,more than 10 years old now and in perfect shape,I would opt for the Maxxair 2 for the pin/hinge mounting for that reason, they are also about 3 inches longer and have a larger opening for better airflow like my Fanmate

I agree - I had the #1 units on our previous RVs and they worked great; but just installed the #2 on our truck camper and the pin-and-hinge system is GREAT!! And in spite of its wrap-around style, it hasn't leaked

I would not own a RV without Maxxair covers.
I would highly recommend you put them on all roof vents. A cheap investment for great water intrusion protection.

Any feedback on the model 1 vs model 2?
