DH just installed our MaxxAir II today. It took maybe 20 minutes and 1 run back to the garage by me to get a different drill bit.

The vent cover doesn't open as far as it did before but that doesn't seem to make any difference in the air flow. Now when we're sitting out a rain, we can still have the vent open!

I meant to add in my previous post that I ordered ours through Amazon and think it was $48 which qualified for free shipping. It took less than a week to get it.

Yes, the MaxxAir II is worth the extra cost. It's bigger and the hardware is designed better so you can just pull two pins and flip it open for that occasional cleaning. On the regular MaxxAir you need to remove 4 nuts with a wrench to get it off. Not that big of a deal but I'm lazy!

Does anyone have any experience installing a Max II on the bedroom vent on a 8528RLWS. The roof is sloped about 20 degrees and I'm afraid this might allow rain to come in.

Won't be a problem just remember to install them vent facing backwards face it forward and the rain will get in not to mention at highway speed it will rip right off lol

I'm looking for a 20-foot mat. Do you recall which brand you purchased?
