RV Roof Vent Fan 10 Speed 12V Thermostat Rain Sensor Powered Lift Remote and APP Control Timer 14" x 14" Reversible

Overall this is a great unit! My biggest hesitancy before buying it was the noise level. The unit that was in my RV before I installed this was not quite at all, I could not run it through the night and get any reasonable sleep. This one is a whole world better! Any of the lower settings and I can sleep just fine. One thing to note - another reviewer posted a video with the fan moving and a very loud sound. Well, they need to pop out the screen and pop it down, it will hold itself either concave or convex, and in packing it seems to have gotten pushed up when it should be down. So that review is use your error, don't listen to those folks, the screen is trivial to pop out. It also moves way more air than my last fan at the same power consumption. Installation was definitely a job!

Very happy with this purchase. Easy installation where my previous vent was and the rain sensors worked as described. Very nice to have a remote control. The only thing that would make it better would be to have an integrated light that was functional with the remote.

Simple swap out in my 2016 FR Wildcat. Watched a lot of vids on YT and tackled it with no problem.

The media could not be loaded. I should have read the reviews. This is a poor quality product. Something is wrong with the circuit board and it won't power the fan motor for more than 3 seconds. Confirmed 12v to the circuit board, tried everything I could as far as rewiring it. Nothing worked.Like other reviews stated, the instructions are bad. Is says the black wire should be (+) but instead it has a (-) sticker on it so after figuring out that it was reversed, I connected the black wire to the white wire of the power supply. 12v to the circuit board but still having issues.

After unboxing and installing the starvent in my camper, I noticed the fan motor shaft is unbalanced. Not something I would have expected when spending a respectable price. Also the phone app doesn't allow you to open or close the vent when away from the camper, and although while using the app it will show me the current settings of the fan, it has not allowed me to turn off the fan or adjust the speed with the phone app. I don't expect this vent fan to last very long with an unbalanced motor shaft. The hardware bolt screws that come with this fan are also too short and could be one thread size bigger to add more hold down force. I bought better bolt screws from my hardware store before installing. The trim ring doesn't fit right either with the wires coming out of the lip that the trim ring is supposed to be slid into before securing it to the ceiling. Even the trim ring hardware is a smaller size than my factory trim ring screws in my camper. This product is mainly a let down in my opinion, all the bells and whistles, but no quality control or forethought for longevity.

The media could not be loaded. First, the manual states “The Ventilator black wire identified with a tag showing (+) must be connected to the vehicle 12 volt (+)positive supply.” But the black wire has a “-“ tag on it, and the white wire has the “+” tag. I used a tester to figure out which wire went to the fuse, since the fuse is frequently on the positive side, and it was the white wire, so I wired it according to the tags on the wire and ignored the opposite instructions in the manual.The install was otherwise normal, the plastic didn’t crack under the strain of the screws, and it fit well. Trimming the inside “Garnish ring” was easy with tin snips, the plastic didn’t shatter or crack with that either.The lowest two speeds are very quiet, although not silent. The hum of the highest speeds can be heard at the opposite end of the trailer, 25 feet away, but it’s not obnoxious at all.Measuring the noise, I don’t have a test chamber so ambient sound without the fan is 31dB. Measured 3 feet away:Speed SPL1 35dB2 36dB3 46dB4 50dB5 56dB6 61dBSo it’s reasonably quiet - less than typical office noise.The reverse button is a nice feature that I’m not sure I’ll ever use, but I’m glad it’s available.The glass fuse is accessible from the inside, so it’s easy to change if needed.The fan ramps up to speed, and ramps down, so there’s no sudden jolt of sound when starting and stopping, which is nice at night.I replaced one of those old vent fans with a tiny fan in a big screen opening, which was probably close to useless. This one is a large bladed fan with a shroud and it definitely moves a lot of air.The open/close knob, however, hasn’t been improved, and it’s just as hard to deal with as the old vent lids. We crank it open a few inches when we set up, and crank it closed when we leave, so it shouldn’t be an issue, but an extra few dollars here would make than mechanism buttery smooth. I’m certainly not paying $$$ more for a motorized vent lid when the additional parts are cheap, but I do wish they put a little more effort into this mechanism.The manual isn’t terribly translated, but it does include the wiring error, and is obviously a translation. Not a deal breaker, but you should know what you’re getting.Since the manual isn’t available anywhere I could find it, I’ll include pictures of each page so you can review if you like. Sorry it’s sideways - Amazon app isn’t good for landscape mode I guess.

I like the quality of the lid on this. The clear raised x pattern makes the lid very solid and not thin or flimsy like some others. The numbered buttons with lights for fan speed is also better than some of the others with just up or down arrows. With this one you will always know what setting your on at a glance.

Works ok. Does not move enough air or at least what I expected compared to my travel trailer.Installed on a work trailer to remove heat. It does good for the price.
