Easy to install. Works good. Moves a lot more air than the OEM fan.I installed this unit in a previous camper trailer 4 years ago... so knew what I was getting.

It is very loud when on Full Speed but if you get a variable speed for it it works great you can have it as loud as you want. Deffinently moves alot of air. Highly recommended for the money

The bathroom fan in my trailer gave (the cheap fan that came with the trailer), so I decided to buy this one as it seemed to move more air.The connection was a little different between this fan and the original fan, but it was actually easy to install. The fan and its casing fit exactly in the location of the original fan. The entire installation took about an hour - as this was the first fan I replaced, I wanted to ensure I had everything installed correctly.The fan moves a lot of air - I can actually feel the air moving around in the bathroom and even just outside the door of the bathroom. One test I like to perform is to put a tissue near the fan to see if it stays attached to the fan when it runs to ensure it provides enough suction. The tissue remained pinned to the fan when it was on, which shows the fan was more than powerful enough.The one issue is the fan is loud. Not too loud where it bothers us when we are in the trailer, but loud enough where we notice the fan is running. With current technologies with fans, it would be nice if they made the fan quieter.I would recommend this fan and am even thinking about buying a second to replace the fan in the second bathroom of our trailer.Pros:* Easy to install - even for someone like me that never installed a trailer bathroom fan before.* Fit perfectly in the opening.* Moves a lot of air - can feel the air movement just outside the bathroom.Cons:* Loud - enough to know the fan is running, but not loud enough to be bothered by the noise.

This thing pulls a lot of air compared to the original anemic fan. It's a little bit of a challenge to install once you have the wires hooked up and trying to align it in there. Instructions included with it look like they were faxed multiple times in 1983 and unclear however is not too difficult to figure out. It's not any noisier than the original useless fan.I wanted to be able to control the speed so I added a PWM motor controller that I also bought on Amazon for a lot less that the price difference with their speed adjustable version of this fan. Easy to modify if you have minimal electrical skills.This fan is a must have to control moisture in your bathroom.

I gave this fan 5 stars based on how well it works. If I were rating the ease of installation I'd give it a 1.I'm pretty handy and good with tools, so maybe it was some weird alignment in the stars that made this one of the most difficult things I've ever installed or assembled. It didn't help that it was over 100 degrees with high humidity in my RV the entire time (due to no hookups and a broken generator) It took me HOURS to install. I'd be embarrassed to admit how many! I hit a glitch on every single step. I only had help for a short while, and it was extremely difficult for me to hold my arms up long enough to get things in place and screw them in. Even my friends, who are also very handy, couldn't believe how hard it was to install. Having said that, I would still buy it again. I'm not a glutton for punishment, it's just a good fan once you've got it working.Removing the old fan was easy, and the instructions were good for that. The installation instructions on the back of the box are written clearly, though there aren't any picture references other than the final image. Then there's a single page of instructions inside the box that you MUST refer to in the middle of the assembly, as there are differing instructions depending on which model fan you're replacing. That page is completely illegible and has blurry, impossible to decipher images that are necessary to understand. (Heads up: the gear box it refers to is on the fan itself, It is NOT the gear knob that remains on your vent after you remove the old fan.)Other aids:1) Use a magnetized, long screwdriver. Trust me.2) Have a helper to hold the fan in place as you attach wires, screw in the screws, line up the gears, etc....3) Remove the fan blade like it suggests. That way you can line up the gears, attach the fan (harder than you'd think) and THEN connect the wires.4) If you hook it up and the fan blows onto you instead of pulling air out, just switch the wires you connected.5) Attach the gear knob BEFORE you install the fan. It helps you line up the gears when you get to that step6) Have various sizes of wire nuts on hand before you start. The little blue one it comes with wasn't big enough (my old fan wires were thicker than the new fan wires) and there was only one included. You need two.7) If your installation goes the way mine did, try to keep a sense of humor. I had bouts of sobbing, shaking my fist at the sky, wanting to give up and still lots of laughs. It helps to have a good friend show up when you're ready to quit.

Our trailer didn't have any fan in the bathroom vent, so I ran wires from a near-by light (non-switched side). Installation was straightforward and I did appreciate the suggestion from an earlier reviewer to put the drain plugs in the sink and tub to foil the inevitable dropped screw from finding refuge. The fan moves a lot of air. Our mirror was always fogged after a shower and now is clear as a bell when the fan is running. I didn't find the noise that some have complained about to be too bad. In fact I think it is quieter than low speed on a Fantastic fan we had in our previous trailer. The only negative I can see is that it does cut down the amount of light that enters through the vent a little bit but it is not all that significant and is no issue for us. Great product. Highly recommend it to anyone.

I have mixed feelings about this fan. The concept of the fan replacement kit is great, but quality control is questionable. Installing the fan took me about 20 minutes using a couple different screwdrivers and wire nuts. It fit quite well and blended into the 14" x 14" vent area nicely. So far, so good. Once I turned on the fan, my opinion changed. The fan had a terrible vibration that shook the fan housing and nearby walls. I immediately turned it off and inspected the unit to see if I had forgot a screw or somehow did something wrong. No luck, it was installed properly. Upon further inspection I determined that the fan blade was severely out of balance with no way to remedy it. It was clearly a very poorly manufactured part. Given the reasonable cost of the fan kit and the seamless factory look of the fan, I decided to order another kit in hopes that it was just a fluke that I received a bad fan blade. Upon receiving the 2nd fan kit and installing it, I experienced the same issue - more vibration. I was about to give up but I really wanted this fan kit to work so I ordered a 3rd fan kit. After installing the 3rd fan kit, I am happy to say that the third time was the charm. The fan runs super smooth with very little vibration at all. It has an incredible amount of suction and quickly exhausts the air out of the camper. The sound level isn't too bad either. I feel that the fan is an incredible value for the money, if you get a good one. Thanks to Amazon prime free shipping both ways I was only out some of my time. I would recommend to give it a try if you are in need of an economically priced exhaust fan that really sucks.
