That is a good point.

We stay in the camper about 35 nights a year and need help getting rid of moisture. I think the fan will help us do that. Below are 3 options I'm think about. I'm leaning towards the 4000 with the 800 vent cover. That way I have something over the fan that protects the fan from bitter cold blowing snow.

This one would work. I'm just not sure if the fan is protected from the elements.

I don't think this will work because the vent could become frozen or jammed because of the snow and ice.

I am with Reddog1 on this I have the Fan-Tastic-Ceiling fan vent with no thermostat and we love it. Also have the MaxxAir/Mate Deluxe would not have the fan without it. Fan-Tastic fan is a great company I have heard nothing but good about them and there customer service is great as has been stated in other posts here. I have the A/C also but with the fan at night just a nice breeze passing from the side windows to the rear with the fan on low is great. Good luck.

to get rid of moisture are you talking about shower type or humidity. a fan wont do anything for humidity.

In my old camper I had the same dilema. I installed the A/C where it was wired for it & had a dealer cut a new hole for the fan near a ceiling light where 12v could be obtained. I had the best of both worlds. It was not that expensive to have done.

Bumpyroad I'm not sure what you mean. My thinking with the fan is we are wet when we return to the camper from skiing all day. So we'll turn the fan on and it should suck the moisture out of the camper because of the air movement. Last year we had a small fan plus open windows and it helped. We just couldn't get enough air movement.

OK I assume you are talking about water skiing? or if snow skiing could you even use an AC then? if the area is low humidity your fan would pull moisture off your body, but an AC would lower the humidity if needed. If you are talking about water skiing, why not just use a towel and the AC? Pulling humid air past you wont be very "refreshing" IMHO.

I'm talking about snow skiing is the wet North West. We are constantly having to wipe down windows even with the vents and windows cracked with a fan going. I'm just thinking that the fan will keep air flow moving and help suck out the moisture.

OH, now the answer is obvious. buy a small dehumidifier. will pull out moisture and put in some heat. and if you ever are in hot/humid areas, the AC is what you should fill that hole with, if not, a maxxaire fan.
