MaxxAir MAXXFAN Plus vs Deluxe: Roof Fan Model Comparison

Two MAXXFAN roof vents can fit the same roof cutout but work very differently. One may move air in both directions with a manual lid, while another uses a powered lid, a remote and a rain shield. This guide compares nine exact MaxxAir part numbers, so you can choose the fan that suits your RV instead of relying on a similar-looking lid or product photo.

Start with the features you will actually use

MAXXFAN Plus: a traditional vent lidChoose a four- or ten-speed fan with intake and exhaust airflow. The 04002K and 04000K lift manually; the 04500K adds powered opening, a remote and a rain sensor. The Plus family has mounting provisions for a compatible separate FanMate cover, rather than the Deluxe's built-in shield.
MAXXFAN Deluxe: built-in rain shieldEvery Deluxe model in this comparison includes an integrated rain shield. Select a simpler four-speed exhaust model, or a ten-speed reversible model if you want to draw fresh air in as well as vent air out.
Remote or manual lift?Choose 04500K, 07000K or 07500K for a powered lid and handheld remote. The other six models lift manually. A remote-ready roof fan is a distinct assembly, not merely a remote added to a manual-lift model.

Compare exact manufacturer model numbers

These are complete 14 × 14-inch-opening roof fans, not interchangeability claims for individual motors, lids or electronic boards. A “built-in rain shield” differs from a rain sensor, which responds by closing an electrically operated lid.

Four-speed vs ten-speed Deluxe: The 05301K and 06401K exhaust air only. The 05100K, 06200K, 07000K and 07500K are reversible. Within each pair, the main visible choice is white or smoke lid; the powered models also include remote control.

Measurements and checks before replacing a roof vent

  1. Measure the roof cutout, not the outer trim. MaxxAir specifies a 14 × 14-inch roof opening for these models. Compare your existing opening and the installation instructions.
  2. Check how the lid will open. A manual-lift roof fan should not be mistaken for a powered-lift assembly simply because both have a keypad.
  3. Confirm 12-volt power and wiring. Plan the installation around your RV's 12V electrical system and the exact model's supplied controls. Compare roof thickness, garnish depth and any obstructions.
  4. Decide how you will manage rain. Deluxe models include the rain shield. Plus 04500K has a rain sensor, but its exposed lid is not the same as a built-in shield; if adding an exterior cover, check the cover's own fit instructions.
  5. Match replacement parts separately. A MAXXFAN Deluxe lid, standard MAXXFAN/Plus lid, control board and lift motor should be selected using the exact fan model and manufacturer parts drawing.

Already have a roof fan and need to repair it? Begin with the correct exploded drawing: 4000K manual MAXXFAN Plus, 4500K powered MAXXFAN Plus, 5100K/6200K manual MAXXFAN Deluxe, or 7000K/7500K powered MAXXFAN Deluxe. These guides help identify service components rather than whole replacement fans.
