I am looking to get one of those fitted . For now I’ve sorted this temporary solution for off grid but would prefer something more permanent.We had a maxxfan deluxe installed over our twin rear beds. Last weekend we were in 36-40 degree weather and with the fan set to extract at around 50% and the front skylight open the van interior was kept pretty cool. Its much much quieter than aircon and you can also use it off EHU.

I second that, ours works really well.Get a Maxxfan. Brilliant bit of kit.
Hi, nice job. Would you be able to provide more details on the product and where you can purchase them from. Also, can you reverse the fan to extract?You can fit those in properly...

I put a 1000 ohm 100w resistor in series with the motor to slow it right down at night, it's super quiet and blows in a lovely draught.

Thank you for this advice . We have struggled to keep the toilet/shower room cool today despite keeping the main hab area nice and cool . Had the truma blown air on as you suggested and it’s really done the job with the roof vent openDon’t have air con but having an old fashioned gas fire instead of a Combi boiler, we can run the blown air which draws in cool air from underneath.

Yeah I hear you. We've had the fan running above us at night a couple of times and it's like a hair dryer blowing down on you in Spain . It's mostly ok though, better than nothingIt is much quiter than aircon mainly because it is a lot less effective. It does bring in fresh air but iunfortunatkey it does not cool. Iused to have one, now have a/c, they are worlds apart.
It's horses for courses in my opinion. We rarely use sites and ever more rarely get EHU, and so for us Aircon would be a waste of money and payload. The maxxfan gives us a solution that cools the van well (not as well as Aircon of course as you rightly say) that we can use when not hooked up with minimal power draw and also takes away less payload.It is much quiter than aircon mainly because it is a lot less effective.

Like wise great for cooling the van, we also have a removable fan in the front heki.I have the Truma Aventa compact + fitted , it works fine on 6 amp hookup and on night mode the noise level is not intrusive.
