It's time you change that out for a MaxxAir "MaxFan" replacement. It has it's own built in rain cover, you can run with it open and you won't hear it, even while sitting on the john.That was the 1st thing I did after delivery, had two of them installed, one in the toilet and one in the hall (30'IB). They are even quieter than the FanTastic fan.Steve S. Lazy Bones

Well, you could do what Gertie's former owners did: replace it with a Fan-Tastic vent fan. Moves far more air with far less noise than the little buzzy one the factory uses. Just one of the many thoughtful improvements Judie and Gary made to Gertie, for which I'm constantly grateful. :-)Andy Baird Brick, NJ

Are they all extremely loud or just mine? Ours is pretty loud. We're going to replace ours with a Fantastic Fan -- not because of the loudness, but because we've had problems with the screws falling out, making it impossible to open the vent. The screws are in such a position that it's almost impossible to get them back in.Linda Hylton2004 Red 23.5' TKFrom Little Crater Campground Newberry NVMSee where we are: http://map.datastormusers.com/user2.cfm?user=1167

I'd like to put a rain cover over it but the solar panels prevent that.However, the MaxxAir "MaxxFan", of which I have two, moves just as much air, has it's own built in rain cover, is reversable like the Fantastic and is actually quieter than the Fantastic. Either one fits the 14" vent opening and Camping World carries both. Your choice!Steve S. Lazy Bones

We might just do that, depending on the cost. We'll probably, at the least, get one of the MaxxAir covers to put over the Fantastic Fan in the living area.Linda Hylton2004 Red 23.5' TKFrom Little Crater Campground Newberry NVMSee where we are: http://map.datastormusers.com/user2.cfm?user=1167

To an existing nearby ceiling light perhaps? Any photos of such an installation in the files?Chris Horst 2002 30 IB Denver
