Replacement Roof Vent

I am looking for recommendations to replace my Ventline V00434 roof vents on my 2013 29RLDS. It seems the replacement screen and frames are no longer available in Birch White. One is just the vent and the other has a little fan in it for the bathroom. I was happy with the functionality of the Ventline but the screen and frame got brittle and cracked out. I looked at the Heng's Universal Vent at Camping World. It seemed sufficient but wanted to hear your opinions and recommendations.

Thanks in advance!

I opted for a Maxxair. Fantastic Fans get similar reviews. If you're going through the trouble of swapping the whole unit, I'd seriously give these consideration. Our Maxxair has a wireless remote, is reversible, you can set it to be thermostatically controlled, and comes with a vent good that can be open while raining or driving.

X2 on the MaxxAir fans. If you are removing the entire vent for replacement I would consider one.

With a search here you will find several threads on bath fan replacement including some detail on the Maxxfan with remote. I replaced the noisy fan in our bathroom with a Maxxfan with remote since my 5'3" wife could not reach the controls on the one that was in there.

Heng's are loud compared to the others. I put one in our bathroom to increase the draw vs the quaint factory fan then use. it is quite noisy compared to the Maxair in the living room to pull similar volume. Plus the remote and wall mounted controls are nice to have too. Keep that in mind for where you plan to install.

Fantastic Fan

I replaced our factory fan (motor failed) in our 2017 Jayflight SLX 264BHW with a Fantastic Fan. Quieter than the factory fan but draws out much more air, even at the lowest of three settings. Very happy with it.

This question sounded familiar. Look back at this thread from 7/16, I found a source for your parts, both with and without a switch, on etrailer.com.
