Discount Maxxair 00-965001 Turbo/Maxx 3 Speed Fan with Thermostat

Customer Ratings:

I had installed a popular 3-speed thermostat controlled fan with a rain sensor lid in my travel trailer's living room. It worked so well that I wanted a second one in the bedroom, however I didn't want a skylight over the bed and didn't want to be concerned about a rain sensor working properly in that location. Therefore the Turbo Maxx seemed like the way to go. I've seen them on other RV's but have never found any reviews, so let me be the first.

Installation was pretty easy since I already had 12 volt power run to a light by the bedroom vent. If you had to run power from scratch that could be tricky with anyone's fan. The Turbo Maxx attaches like Max Air vent covers, to the rim of the vent so no holes to drill in the roof. Noise and power consumption are roughly the same as the competitor's fan in my living room. With the vent open under the fan (solid metal lid) some light does come in but not a skylight effect.

The only drawback may be the size and shape of the unit. The swept back design might get in the way of TV antenna masts or air conditioners, so plan ahead on what vent you want to mount it on. As an example, I have three roof vents on my trailer and the bedroom is the only one where a Turbo Maxx would work. Being a large item to place on your roof, some may not like the look.

The camping season has only started this year for me but so far I am satisfied.

UPDATE July 2010: After only about four months of use the fan motor started squeaking. When I checked the manufacturer's website for warranty information I spotted a link for instructions on how to replace the motor. Hmmm.

When I called customer service I was told that they had gotten a bunch of bad motors. They sent me a replacement motor at no charge. If you installed the fan yourself, you are probably skilled enough to replace the motor. While the instructions are good, the job took longer than expected. Running good as new now.

I was really tempted to knock one star off my original four star rating but didn't. The company stood behind their product, which is not something all manufacturers do now days. That said, I hope I get more than four months of use out of my new fan motor.

Overall fairly easy to install. The wires from the fan to the controls are short enough to make it a little bit of a challenge. Other than that it works great, moves air well.

I love the fans. I installed them myself with no problems, thanks to the step by step instructions. Trust me, I have never attempted anything like this, and they were very easy to install. I turn one on in, and the other on out, and it creates a constant circulation of air. Love them!

Easy Install. Thermostat works very well. Moves a pretty good amount of air, which cools off our hot fifth wheel in a respectable amount of time. A bit noisy even though the fan is on the outboard side of the vent cover, but it is not so bad as to be annoying. Overall, it's a good purchase.
