Can it run in the rain or while driving?

Yes. The 7500K is built to run with the lid closed, so it vents during rain and while the RV is moving. That is its main advantage over standard roof vents.

How does it compare with the MaxxFan Deluxe 7000K?

The 7500K adds a remote control and a built-in thermostat over the manual 7000K. Airflow and the rain-safe lid are the same. Choose the 7500K if you want remote and automatic temperature control.

What roof opening does it need?

It fits a standard 14-by-14-inch RV roof opening and needs a 12V power feed. Plan on sealing the flange and trimming the interior garnish to fit your ceiling thickness.

Does it push air in as well as out?

Yes. The motor reverses, so it can exhaust stale air or pull fresh air in. With the lid closed it also works as a ceiling fan to circulate air.

Is a remote and thermostat worth it?

For many owners, yes. The thermostat turns the fan on and off by temperature, and the remote lets you adjust it from bed. If you rarely use those, the manual version does the same job for less.

The fan unit with the rain-safe lid, an interior insect screen, a remote control, and mounting hardware. Sealant and interior garnish trim are usually bought separately.
