I installed a Maxx Deluxe in the bedroom and replaced the bath fan with a Hengs Vortex exhaust only. If you add a pwm controller you have infinite speed control.

I had the dealer put a Fan-Tastic fan in the bedroom of our 2020 25RES before we took possession and have no regrets. During the summer we can have it bring in fresh air and drop the temperature in the bedroom before we retire for the night.

Hengs make a great bathroom fan conversion. I would not recommend a high volume, reversible fan in the bathroom. You don’t want to have the possability of the fan blowing INTO the bathroom and dispersing the smells and humidity throughout the camper. Having a fan with too much volume could possibly create enough negative pressure in that limited space to draw odors from the waste holding tanks.

Max air advantage is no need for a vent cover. I have one in the bedroom and another in the family room, both reversible so I can get good flow.

We put MaxxAir in the bedroom, the 10 Speed with remote control. The remote is awesome.
I bought one Hengs for use in a previous RV, it went bad early on. Only had a 30 day warranty, so no coverage for the defects. And it was LOUD. I'd never buy another one. Put a MaxxAir or Fantastic in the bathroom. Use the lower speeds and only blow air out of the bathroom.
Just my 2˘

At least get something to cover the crappy white vent covers that come with the RV. My first trailer while camping finally disintegrated from the sun, and had to cover the vent with duct tape to keep the elements out. Have a Max vent cover on both vents on the new trailer, but still the factory plastic underneath, which the sun never gets to. I usually never close them so the moister can escape, but it can still rain and never get into the rv.
