Hi there RV and camper owners. Today, we're going to be taking a look at MaxxFan's RV Vent Cover Screen. This bug deflector screen is designed specifically for MaxxAir's vent covers. It's designed to have the proper shape to fit on the back of it. So this way, when you've got your vent opened up and you're letting air in, you can ensure that no critters and insects are going to be coming inside to join you. It's a quick and easy installation because it just snaps in right on the backside of the vent cover.
And you can see here, it's going to add that extra layer of mesh behind the grills to keep anything out. Something like this is really useful if you like to sleep with your vents open. This is our customer's bedroom vent right here, and they like a little bit of air flow, like it cooler at night.So having something like this is going to ensure that the mosquitoes and other things aren't going to come in and join you. And you're not going to have a bad time when you wake up, you're just going to wake up refreshed with that fresh air that you're drawing in from the outside, whether you're in the mountains or down by the creeks. So now to insert your screen, it's going to sit like this.
I found that it was easier to put the screen in after you have your vent cover fully assembled. So we're going to put this back piece on. So you can see that these are elongated here and here, on each side. So we're just going to slide that up till it pokes through. And we're also going to do that on the other side, down here.
And then once you got them in there where they poke through, then just give it a twist. And with that elongated end there it's going to lock it in place. And then we're just going to push the top in until it clicks in here on the top.Now that we've got that inserted, we can go ahead and take our cover off. It's actually easier to put the screen in if you just had the whole thing off. So we're going to take the pins out of the sides, and that will allow us to lift the unit completely off of there.
We'll now take our screen. And there's three notches here. Those are going to line up at the bottom with the three clips. So just set that guy down in there. It'll line up there, and then all you need to do at that point is to push down on the tabs until they hook in on the lip right there.And now that we've got it clipped in all the way around, we can just re-install our cover over our vents. So it's just going to drop down on top. We'll line the ends up with our brackets and then slide our pins through to secure it. Put them up, to lock it in place. And once all the pins are secured, your vent cover has been installed, and you're now ready to enjoy the operation of your existing vent, without having to worry about any moisture or critters coming inside. And that completes our look at MaxxFan's, RV Vent Cover Screen.

Add this bug screen to your MaxxAir FanMate vent cover to help keep insects and debris out of your RV or enclosed trailer. It snaps into place behind the louvered vent area on the back of the cover.Works great with the cover and reduces cleaning.
Stays in place and does what it is supposed to. Keeps the bugs out
Installs and fits good. No issues at al l.
Don't know why the screen was not included in the first place. The other Maxx-air fan, less expensive version, came with one. Haven't installed yet, hope all goes well.
5 stars for the item. Easy install. Does what it's supposed to do. My 3 stars is the extra cost! The FanMate is already pretty pricey and when you open the package for this screen, you'll see it's very inexpensively made.
Perfect accessory to the vent covers.
We installed two MaxxAir FanMate covers with Bug Screen on our Montana. The item is exactly as described, material is flexible enough for easy installation. We ordered two MaxxAir FanMate Bug Screens and the Bug Screens and FanMate covers arrived on the same day. Assembly and installation on the MaxxAir fans took less than ten minutes.
Easy to install and can't say I've noticed any critters getting. We leave our fan lids open 90% of the time as we are usually camping when it's warm outside.
FAST delivery, fair price. Nice job, etrailer. HOWEVER, for what it costs, this is a pretty flimsy screen. And there is still the gap the whole way around the bottom for bugs to get it. But it is made in the USA. If I had to do it again, I would go without the screen.
Very flimsy and came quite bent. Also seems like the snap on point are not really snapping onto anything in the vent cover. A bit of mystery to me on how it will be installed.

Wau, this is customer service, really appreciate the follow-up. I have not yet installed the ventfan and cover – when I unpacked the cover and tried to install the “bug” screen into the outer screen door, I could not make the bug screen snap into place and stay. It seems to be a very flimsy connection between the screen and bug screen. I am not sure yet, but likely will need to use something else caulk or similar to glue the two together. Anyway, it is doable and the bug screen is only an add-on, was really interested in adding the cover to keep rain out primarily during outdoor storage of the camper. I can now keep the vent open and also have the fan kick in when it gets hot while stored, so that is great and really what I was after.
Great addition to the maxxair fan cover.
Easy to install initially and it can easily be removed as needed. After quite a few trips at highway speed being left in place there has been no distortion or issues of any sort so it seems rock solid. It's also been through heavy rain with no leaks. Great addition to our teardrop!
Poorly made afterthought product. The bug screen will not stay in place and will fallout inside of the vent cover while traveling. The clips do not snap over the louvers, instead they sit on top using tension to stay in place - however the product is to flimsy. As others posted you will need to tape or otherwise use another product to hold the bug screen into place.
When installing the vent why not just go ahead and do it right with adding the screen. As usual a good price, fast shipping and love to see the tracking etrailer uses.
Easy to Install.
The covers/bug screens work very well for our travel trailer.
Should help
The product was a little "rough around the edges" but very functional. The service and communications @ etrailer is outstanding and the videos are very helpful, better than I've found anywhere else.
Keeps out bugs and debris.
Will keep the bugs from building a home in the vent cover. Very easy install and as usual great service from etrailer.
The screen was a easy to install item and helped a great deal in keeping insects and leaves out of the MaxxAir Fanmate.
etrailer is the best. Very fast shipping. Just what I needed.
Order came very quickly and as promised. It's always great to work with etrailer.
