Has anyone mounted this fan in an RV roof vent? If so, how well did it work as an exhaust fan? The dimensions suggest that it would almost fit.

Why not just get the one specifically designed for the roof vent? That's what we have over the bed and it works perfectly. Also have the ability to draw air IN, or reverse the blades and suck air OUT with it.

Almost tooo powerful as an exhaust fan- much cheaper and quieter alternatives

The Fantastic Fan is the child of the original RV "ceiling mounted" Fantastic Fan. Go to their website for more info.

They have a more expensive version to mount, but yes, it fits perfectly. You have to figure out how to hang it and then you need to put something around the edges to seal it so it draws air efficiently, but find something that works for you and you're set!

i see that your tent is 48" Wide by 24" Deep by 60" thats a fairly decent size and unless you are using low watt led and or fluorescent you are going to need a bigger fan, at least for the exhaust youll need a 4" blower fan minimum, 6" preferred like this: http://www.amazon.com/VenTech-IF4-Inline-Duct-Fan/dp/B005KMOJPK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1402989956&sr=8-4&keywords=4+duct+fan and you can use 1 or 2 of these small duct fans as intake.

I'm using as exhaust for a cat box area. I have mounted it outside with about 12' of flex. the sound you here is air being drawn in.

Should this fan work great when the power is out ran on a generator? Ore could some one recommend a better one it gets hot in the summer in Houston. I will have a window ac but want to help push the cool air. Thank you.

It's a good question, it is a very powerfull fan, so long as your aware of the dimensions, and the need to secure it. I initially put it in the window, but found it to be too large and too noist, ended up installing it in the ceiling ventint through the gable. great fan though, just check your dimesions.

I would advise to be careful before purchasing this unit. It requires specialized venting for the exhaust system, hard to find and expensive. Not sure what temp. it reaches, might look at going with an RV style water heater.

Felickz, I guess I misspoke about the size of the vent piping size, Which this fan does vent 6". I also recommended using the Broan 636 fan-jack but meant to use the Broan 634 fan-jack for roof installation or if venting sidewall use the Broan 843 which both have a back draft dampers. Hope this clears this up!!! Mark Innovative HVAC Systems, Inc.

Your old/used/original equipment fan is a small, noisy excuse of a fan. This new Heng's Vortex is much quieter albeit not so quiet you forget it's on but quieter non-the-less. It is a much larger fan able to not only clear out unwanted odors, it can also move air out of your RV like a small house exhaust fan might. However, installing it for me was quite difficult. First Heng's cheapened out on wires necessary for electric hook-up. I had to add 4" to make mine work. They way it went into my RV, alignment was off ever so slightly for ease of installation. Heng could have done better without too much effort, but it is what it is! Works well, quite, worth the effort!

Not certain this item is good for your application. Try to see if Fantech has a fan that has a three inch opening. Also, measure your vent length to determine if this model is the right one for your application. Finally, you may be able to change the vent size. If not there is an adapter piece that fits onto the three inch vent to adapt the opening to accept a four inch vent pipe. Obviously you have several choices ahead of you, good luck.

Hello Richard, I had the same dilemma and I decided that the fan would be much more effective when used as an exhaust fan. I have a very hot running tube amp and it keeps it running warm. I did angle the cabinet to the back wall so that the air would be reflected away at about a 15 degree angle. Hope this helps. Jnm

It is an exhaust fan connected to a series of below-surface PVC pipes with holes. The suction and ducting provides a way for radon gas to excape into the atmosphere, as I understand it. I see no reason why it could not be used as a simple exhaust fan, but I am not expert. I can say that there is a considerable constant negative pressure due to the tightness of the ducting system, a negative pressure that would be absent if simply used to ventilate a room.

I didn't use the fan. I needed an exhaust fan that would exhaust to the outside atmosphere..........not room to room.

I have used mine in an RV very successfully, just make sure to crack a window for combustion air.

Mine vent does not have a fan and it works great. I imagine it would work with the fan as well.

hole for vent needs to be 8" and the fan is centered over that hole with the metal flashing around the fan going under your roof shingles inside if you run duct use 8"round or 8" to 6" adapter

The fan is entirely incased in the exhaust fitting, on the picture you can see the exchaust pipe on the right side towards the top, the toilet will work fine in a an RV.
