Is there a cost effective alternative to the Maxxair extractor (1 Viewer)

[Chris and Lisa]

I nearly feel of my chair when I see how much the Maxxair cost.
I would like to fit an extractor and a matching vent at opposing ends of my motorhome but can justify the £500ish they are advertised for.

Help would be much appreciated

Don't know where you were looking where they are £500ish. The one I have linked below £299

I have been considering replacing or noisy Thule Omnivent with a Maxxfan Plus and they have been under £300 without too much looking.

Maxxfan incredible..well worth the money...and if you use them correctly you may only need one..

I thought they were expensive, but they are excellent!

Having one fitted on Monday here in Cartagena. €600 all in. Worth it for the wife's peace of mind when we leave the dogs alone for long periods this summer.
(We've never had an issue with the van getting too hot in our absence (we have min-max thermometers) but I've never been able to stop the woman fretting!!)

They are brilliant Nigel....over the past week we have been sleeping with ours on 10%. Very little battery power used to power them...the air out setting is most effective, with the window on the shady, cooler side on the van left on first catch to allow air to be drawn in.....
Too many users believe that blowing warm outside air into the van helps...but extracting warm are does..

Yes I used to leave mine on auto so when the roof got to 26º it started auto matically for our dog.
You just need to remember to turn'auto ' off when travelling as it sucks out the cold air from A/C in cab

We found extract was best for the daytime but at night the cool air pulled in off the roof was divine

Think I'll replace the kitchen fan with one this summer, we'll be leaving Bod in the van sometimes

Hi Richard...we haven't had much experience with driving whilst the Maxxfan is working..
So do you turn off the Maxxfan and keep the vehicle air con going or visa versa....
