I have had both Maxx fans and Fantastic fans with rain sensors. I much prefer the Maxx fans for a number of reasons. Primary is that when it starts to rain the Fantastic fan lid grinds down. Once the rain sensor dries out it grinds open only to get wet and grind closed again. During the middle of the night that can get very annoying .

The Maxx fans are the ones now on both coaches and they just stay open most all the time unless there is a strong, cold wind blowing directly into the Maxx fan cover or you are in a SW style dust storm! I much prefer the manual Maxx fan over the remote control one which does not allow you to turn the fan on and off without also raising or closing the cover. No way to override that "feature" according to the Maxx fan folks. On the manual one you just push buttons to turn the fan on/off, change speed or set it to an auto temp.

If anyone has a manual unit and would like to swap for the remote unit, let me know.

The big advantage with the Maxx Fan is that you can leave it open in a rainstorm whereas you can't do that with a Fantastic Fan.

NO, not so. I have a fantastic vent fan and it has a rain sensor and will close if it rains. Has temperature control also.
