Today I installed a MaxxFan Deluxe 7000K (17 lbs.) in our Whitehawk. It's powerful, quiet, and fully featured. I love the ten speeds, remote, thermostat, low profile and auto closing feature. The white lid lets in some light when closed, but not too much, which is great for me, as there's a skylight just a few inches away from the fan.
Like most folks, I was nervous about cutting a hole in my roof (the install went where there was no previous fan), but it went well. I used the butyl tape from a Camco installation kit but the fan came with its own hardware, so I didn't need to use the Camco screws. Here's my photo album of the install: http://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/members/39737-albums1389.html
While I did have to run power to the installation location, it was already framed for an EZ Breeze optional fan that I decided not to order when I bought the coach. I wanted the quiet, power and quality of a MaxxAir and I also wanted a remote. This coach definitely will benefit from having a fan at mid-cabin. Not only will it increase boondocking comfort, it will also help vent out cooking heat and speed up AC cooldown on really hot days.
In a way, cutting a new hole was easier than replacing an old vent or fan - at least I didn't have to scrape off old butyl tape and lap sealant...
