maxx air fans any good

[grey bear]

are maxx fans any good at keeping van cooler ?

 

[monzer]

Yes quite popular on here amongst funsters. Just away to switch mine on now to get a bit of air moving.

 

[jumar]

Yep...best accessory I fitted to our van...it makes our summers here in Spain more bearable...get one....

 

[Landy Andy]

Brilliant bit of kit.
Use it every time we use the van.

 

[Barchetta47]

Just fitted one last August and to date it’s been one of the best accessories we have added to the van. It uses minimal power overnight as well.

These appear to be the cheapest sellers at present:

"maxxfan" - Midland Leisure Supplies

Our RV has two - we use one in and one out for flow-through of air. They are temperature and rain sensing on ours. Very useful when we leave the cats inside as we know the fans will kick in at whatever temperature we select.

Its on my list for an install this summer. I have read so many good reports.

 

[frwjd]

Is one enough?

 

[Oldrat]

Two work well together for us.
V quiet in operation too.

Excellent. A great addition to our van. It even comes first to my morning cuppa tea holder!

When we’re.away it’s only switch off while travelling exelent.

We have the Maxfann Deluxe and used it a lot last year in Spain & Italy.
We had one issue with the PCB which meant the fan cut out when switched above 20%, a replacemnt PCB was sent which was a pain to fit but sorted the problem.
We also found that if using in heavy rain, the water bounces off the roof and into the cowl and drips on the beds.

Depends on the size of your van and where it's fitted.
We have a Fantastic vent in our van (similar to Maxxfan) it's at the front of the bedroom area it cools the bedroom a treat but not the lounge 7.5m van. The last van it was central above the kitchen cooled both the bedroom and lounge, 7.2m van.

 

[grey bear]

thank you all looks like i might invest in one .

Yes, very low energy use but can clear the air in a van in seconds

 

[Cockers]

Brilliant bit of kit worth every penny.

 

[TerryL]

Replaced our very underused aircon and very pleased with it.
Especially as I sold the aircon unit which paid for it!

Low power usage and so powerful, excellent bit of kit

 

[Oldrat]

Two very minor gripes with our Maxxfans which we love and would buy again in a heartbeat.

1. They are really quiet in operation, but the mechanism to raise and lower them (takes 1-2 secs) sounds a bit Heath Robinson- I reckon better design input could make that motor silent too.

2. The optional roller blind cover is pretty flimsy so we insert a home made foam pad in really cold weather to improve insulation.
This has an added benefit of making the already manageable wind noise even quieter on motorways.

But they are a great bit of kit.

I’m looking seriously at a Maxxfan for my new Adria Twin SLB (due in the next couple of months ) I’m told that the van already has the wiring fitted, as standard, presumably for optional aircon. Can any Adria owner confirm?

Also, assuming it can be fitted into the existing factory fitted hatch/hole, can anybody offer advice on implications for water ingress guarantee?

You can modify the Heki blind to fit.

Ta. Good info.

(But we are good)

Thinking of one on our new carthago c Compactline when it (eventually) arrives, not sure if there is power to the central roof light but hoping there is but will ask if I remember when I get it.

There's supposed to be cabling already there, that's what we were told with our 2019 i-138.

I am a big fan of the maxair and highly recommend fitting the after market full seal gasket too, as it massively reduces wind noise whilst driving.

Thanks thats what I was hoping. Did you ever have a look

I fitted one in place of a small Heki roof vent. When I took the Heki off there was a small flexible conduit and draw wire already in the opening. I took advice from Youtube and removed the PCB and coated it in Conformal liquid before fitting it ,as apparently condensation can affect it, other than that it has worked perfectly and is very quiet.

Nope not yet but the technicians I asked were very confident it was there. One of these days I'll get round to fitting a Maxxfan!
