MaxxFan

Today's project was to get some ventilation in the RV.  I am a little disappointed that though our RV has two a/c units (which can make it plenty chilly) it only has one roof vent to the outside.  Our old Class C had a vent in the front and a power vent (i.e., a vent that had a 12V fan that could blow air in or out) in the bedroom.  With that combination you could really get a nice outside breeze flowing through the Rv.  Our Itasca only has one vent (not counter the bathroom vent) and it doesn't have a fan.  After posting a couple of questions to the forum I follow iRV2-Winnebago owners someone replied that there was probably already 12V power to the vent since it is easiest to build RVs pre-wired.  So our research turned to a powered vent.  There are really only two choices Fantastic Vent and MaxxFan.  The Fantastic vent, while a great product, involved switching out the vent which meant pulling up sealant which after our class C experience I did not really want to do.  The MaxFan just bolts on top of the existing vent.  What could be better :-)

We went with a TurboMaxx 

and $197 and 2 hours of Karen and me

 working we had a fan.  Actually it was more me because Buster ended up sitting on Karen's lap and she could only hand me tools :-)  

Tomorrow I will start loading the RV for my trip.  For my deployment I got issued warm weather and cold weather gear but I have a feeling that I won't want the cold weather gear so I am planning on leaving that behind.  I will still bring it to my training though just in case they tell me to take it.
