Warning: do not install your covers in the wrong direction, or they definitely will be getting some "Maxx Air!"

I've had MaxxAirr vents on all 4 of my RV's. Never had a problem with them.

Nice job. On my last TT I installed 3 of them. They work great.

Ya know, I thought that too, until I saw someone who had the Camco and another person had the MaxxAir. The MaxxAir looked like it was better quality. So....



I went with the MaxxAir.

I hear you DaGrinch but here's the deal (IMHO, YMMV )
Covers do 2 things:
Protect expensive create a breeze vents from hail damage
Allow you to keep the vents open (on or off) while going down the road to air out the RV

I buy name brand when it counts, not so sure on vent covers

Being a current resident of the Charlotte area, I just want to know how these are going to effect my downforce going wide open into turn 3. HA!

Seriously though, how long from start to finish for the install on one of these bad boys?

The ultra breeze covers require you to scrape and reapply sealant. Total time was still only 30 min maybe.

What is everyone using with the fantastic fan? I was going to use a MaxxAir but the instructions said not to with the fantastic fan. When I returned it the parts man said to remove the screen and it would work fine. I wasn't convinced.

Mine came with an ultrabreeze in the bathroom so I got the same for the other vent/fan.

I use their Fan/mate with the fan in my bathroom and the Maxxair II with the vent in the living area. The company says the Maxxair can be used with high speed fans but the fan/mate is better. I just went with their recommendation. Both vent covers do a great job in that I have never had water come in, either in transit or with them open in the worst of storms.

I believe hat the company that makes the Fantastic Fan now has a Ultra Breeze vent cover specifically for their fan

On the regular MaxxAir, maybe 15 minutes. Took more time to carry the tools up and down the ladder than it took to install the brackets and attach the vent.

I have the max air original and fee that they do restrict some of the air flow in my bedroom but it's worth it to be able to leave the vents open all the time with out worry of water damage.

I agree w/DaGrinch. It took more time to get set up and put stuff away than install these. I'd say the first one was 15 minutes just because I wanted to make sure I was doing it right. The next two were 5 minutes each. Drill 4 holes, attach brackets, attach cover to brackets. Easy peasy.

Sounds good enough. I'm going to order some soon. The price is super cheap and you really can't beat the install time.
