Re: Replacement cabin roof vent

Have you decided on a replacement for the bathroom vent? Model/etc? The vent that I purchased to replace the factory vent in the shower is the Ventline VANAIR VP-543 roof vent. Here is a specsheet from Ventline. I don't remember where I purchased it. You can find it at a number of suppliers. http:/...

Re: Replacement cabin roof vent

Have you decided on a replacement for the bathroom vent? Model/etc? Hi Beth, I will be replacing the shower vent with an exact replacement. I already puchased the fan and have it in waiting on the shelf for installation. However, installation is down a ways on the todo list. <smile> I'll see if I c...

Re: Replacement cabin roof vent

Q) But was it difficult to take the old one out? A) Removal is easy. Installation has a lot of steps. But, each individual step is not that difficult. The easy part is that the new fan is basically just a drop in replacement for the old one. Your roof hole and wires are already in place. Q) Did you ...

Re: Replacement cabin roof vent

mtnmanb Here is a features list of the Maxxair Corp. fans. I bought the MaxxFan Deluxe Model 5100K for white lid and manual open. Although, the electric opening lid with remote control looked like a lot of fun! <smile> Skater I notice that the MaxxFan opening mechanism has two supports connecting th...

Re: Replacement cabin roof vent

ggeorgiagirl, Q) Can you open it while you are driving? A) The lift mechanism is well made and appears pretty robust. Slow speeds, no problem. However, I don't drive with it open at fast speeds as I don't want to risk wear and tear with the wind beating on the plastic lid. When rolling, I think open...

Re: Replacement cabin roof vent

Much of our camping will be without 110v. So since we will not be able to run the air conditioner, I decided to "level up" our ventilation fan system. It looks to be a well thought out design.

Re: Replacement cabin roof vent

Here is a view of the controls. - Manual knob to open and close. Push the knob to lock the position. - + and - buttons for 10 fan speeds. - Button to reverse fan direction. Direction can be switched even while the fan is running. The fan shuts down, pauses and starts up in the opposite direction. - ...

Re: Replacement cabin roof vent

Here is the vent in open position. Note the the opening on the underside of the vent hood and the side guards to prevent rain from coming in the sides of the vent.

Re: Replacement cabin roof vent

I purchased the Maxxair MaxFan Deluxe. The main reasons for choosing this exhaust fan is (1) since the vent draws from underneath its shroud, the vent can remain open even when it is raining and (2) the vent’s fan can draw air in or exhaust air out and can also operate with built in thermostat for a...

Replacement cabin roof vent

I finished installation of a replacement main cabin roof vent. Here is a photo of the main cabin roof vent of the B190 that I recently purchased. The sun had pretty much cooked anything plastic mounted on the roof including this vent.

Re: 240v to 120v

Swampy, I hooked up my B190 power cord through my "Kill A Watt" meter under the following conditions. I could not run the water pump as my RV is drained down for winter. Ambient temperature is -1 degrees C today. My interior lighting is converted to LEDs so that load is not present. My bat...

Re: 240v to 120v

Swampy, Good question. I don't find any helpful specifications in my documentation. Let me see if I can take some measurements on my B190 and pass that along to you.

Re: 2012 Winter Project list

I have to admit, I wasn't excited about replacing the water lines. But, I really don't think it will be that bad. Most of the lines are easily accessable. Although, I only found one crack, I have been reading that the pipe used back in the nineties has a tendency to degrade from the inside out. So s...
