This roof vent uses a 12-volt fan to circulate air in motor homes and enclosed trailers, keeping interiors ventilated without compromising security. Wedge-shaped, smoke-colored plastic vent cover opens and closes with a hand-operated crank.Vent was easy to install, really didn't need the instructions. I would have appreciated a template for the hole though. That way I can just throw the template up and cut along it. A recommendation to reinforce the underside with something (I used 2x2s) might be helpful as well. You do say to align it with a joist, but who's really going to have multiple joists within 14 1/2" from each other? Otherwise, it looks great. I figured you have multiple images of the vent itself so I figured an image of how I reinforced it would be the most helpful for future installers.
Thank you.

This product got great reviews, and I'm not sure why. I was very disappointed in this vent. First, etrailer shipped it with the sealant on top of the unit and damaged it (still haven't heard back from them).
Aside from that, the unit is supposed to be smoke. I thought some light inside my pop-up would be nice, and maybe the white unit I had before wouldn't look so dirty all the time if it was smoke. Outside it looks gray. Inside it looks blue. When the sun shines on it, it makes the inside of the trailer look rather depressing and blue. The lid itself is very flimsy, and flexes in the wind. While traveling, the flex allowed the vent to come out of the channel even while fully closed. It was a fun in-camp fix and I was thankful it didn't rain. The seal that goes around the rim does not stay on, and I am constantly pushing it back down (removing the screen to do so, reaching my arm through the hole and pushing it back on). IF I keep this thing, I will replace that lumpy weatherstripping with my own.
Note: The new garnish (trim) did not work with my popup. I used my old garnish and cleaned it up with plastic polish and it worked well. It wouldn't have worked as well if I broke the old trim, so keep all your parts if you decide to get this thing.
I didn't see any alternatives for the price on etrailer, but may shop around if the lid comes apart again on my next trip out.
Product material and build is solid. Easy to install. I like the smoke colored cover, lets in the right amount of sun (we dry camp in the Southwest a lot). The fit between screen and frame with the open/close knob was off by about 1/4 inch in depth. Was able to adjust the knob mounting position down so as to insure a tight fit between screen and beauty ring. We have an eighteen-year-old rig, so it is challenging to find replacement parts that fit as original. But it fits great now! great web site - easy to drill down to appropriate parts. Thanks again.
I absolutely love my new vents! We did find that the trim piece was too deep for our folding camper, but that problem was easily solved by trimming off what we did not need. We will also have to remove the handles when we fold the camper up, but that is no big deal for me. My husband had no problem installing the electrical for the upgraded vent we purchased. I do however wish that there were screw buttons to cover the screws, my husband is known as the "Silicon King" and made his own buttons with dabs of silicon...trust me not the prettiest look!
I installed this on my enclosed trailer, with a air vent cover, keeps it a lot cooler in the summer.
I am in the process of replacing all of the roof vents in my toy hauler and found etrailer was able to supply just what I needed and at a competitive price. I have had good dealings with them whenever I needed rv parts.

Good stuff....well packaged too!
Well made vent should last years. I like the removable screen for easy cleaning. Unfortunately the roof vent mounting flange is badly damaged. I will need to do some work with my hammer and anvil to make it useable. This is clearly incorrect/damaged.
I’m writing this review before installing the vent so I can’t attest to its durability/longevity. This is a lightweight unit but it should suffice for use about three times a year for a couple of days at a time. This unit is affordable; well under $200. It is a next step up from a passive vent with no fan.
Do you have a question about this RV Vents and Fan?
