AirPlus 12V Brushless Roof Fan with Remote, LED, Blackout Shade & Bug Screen
Inventory Update: Select AirPlus colors are on nationwide backorder until mid-June. The same fan is available in similar colors under the ProBreeze brand.
The next evolution in 12V roof fans. Quiet, efficient brushless ventilation for vans and RVs.
Built for vans, RVs, and tiny homes, this 12V roof fan from NomadicArk delivers strong airflow with low power draw in a clean, all-in-one package. The brushless motor sets it apart from many traditional roof fans, with quieter performance, better efficiency, and lower maintenance over time. It also uses an RF remote, so you do not need to point it at the fan to make adjustments. Features include a powered roof vent, bug screen, blackout shade, built-in LED lighting, intake and exhaust modes, 10 speed levels, Auto temperature control, rain-safe operation, and 5 color combinations. With a max open height of just 7.2", roughly 2" lower than the Maxxair Fans, it can also be a better option when roof clearance is tight.
Key Features
- Drop-In Replacement for Maxxair - a direct 14" × 14" replacement for Maxxair roof fans. No need to replace existing roof mounting flange. See installation notes below in resources.
- High-Efficiency Brushless DC Motor - Brushless design offers lower maintenance, longer service life, and more efficient low-draw performance, making it a great fit for lithium battery systems.
- Two-Way Airflow, Intake and Exhaust - Pull fresh air in or push hot, stale air out depending on the conditions inside your rig.
- 10 Speed Levels - Fine-tune airflow and noise to match the moment, from subtle overnight ventilation to fast cabin air exchange.
- Rain Safe Operation - The down-facing ventilation design is intended for use in a wide range of weather conditions while still maintaining airflow.
- Smart Auto Temperature Mode - Helps regulate fan operation based on interior temperature for easier day-to-day comfort control.

Quiet Yet Powerful Performance
- Air Out: ≤29 dB at speed 4 / ≤47 dB at speed 10
- Air In: ≤32 dB at speed 4 / ≤53 dB at speed 10
- High Airflow Capacity - Moves up to 1,766 CFM to refresh cabin air quickly.
- Integrated LED Lighting - Dual 2W LED lights provide soft overhead lighting inside the van or RV.
- Built-In Shade and Screen - Includes a retractable blackout shade and fly screen for a cleaner install with fewer extra parts.
- Touchscreen and RF Remote - Adjust settings directly on the unit or from across the cabin with the included remote. Maxxair does not have an RF sensor so you have to point at it and be closer to the fan for it to operate. Airplus also has a touch-screen display which the Maxxair does not have.
- Voltage Protection Built In - The fan will not operate below 9V or above 16V input.
- Low-Profile Design - Compact exterior profile with weather-resistant construction for a clean finished look.

Comparing AirPlus, ProBreeze, and MaxxFan 7500
The biggest difference is that AirPlus and ProBreeze are essentially the same newer brushless-style fan platform with the same core published specs, while the MaxxFan 7500 is the more established traditional benchmark many van builders already know. AirPlus and ProBreeze both use a 14" x 14" opening, offer 10 speeds, intake and exhaust, remote control, integrated LED lighting, and a built-in blackout shade and screen, with higher published airflow on paper than the MaxxFan 7500. AirPlus also stands out by offering more dome and interior shroud color combinations, which gives builders more flexibility to better match the look of their van interior. The MaxxFan 7500’s main advantage is its long track record and that it can adapt to thicker roofs.
NomadicArk Airplus Fan Color Options
- AirPlus355-B: Black dome, white Interior
- AirPlus355-BB: Black dome, black interior (all black)
- AirPlus355-S: Smoke dome (transparent), white interior, lets in more natural light and feels more like a skylight than the black dome
- AirPlus355-SB: Smoke dome (transparent), black interior, lets in more natural light and feels more like a skylight than the black dome
- AirPlus355-W: White dome, white interior (all white)

- AirPlus Installation Manual
- Warranty: Includes a 1-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. See full warranty terms for exclusions and details.
- For new installs on camper vans or RVs with external roof ribs, a roof adaptor may help create a better seal. Be sure to include any adapter thickness in your total roof and ceiling stack-up. Supported ceiling thickness is 1-1/16" to 3-1/8".
- When replacing an older 14" x 14" Maxxair fan, note that the original roof flange may have shifted slightly over time from heat, compression, or weather exposure. In some cases, a gentle adjustment or alignment may be needed for the new fan to seat properly in the existing cutout. Additionally, the internal trim ring on the AirPlus is slightly smaller than some Maxxair internal trim rings and may not fully cover existing holes.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) click to expand
1.What is the typical shipping time?
Orders typically ship in 1–2 business days via UPS standard service. Expedited shipping may be available for an added fee.
2.Is this a direct replacement for Maxxair roof fans?
Yes. It is designed as a drop-in 14" × 14" replacement for most Maxxair roof fans. If you are reusing an older cutout, slight alignment may be needed if the original flange has shifted over time. The interior trim ring is also slighly smaller and may not cover edged of mounting holes.
3.What roof and ceiling thicknesses does it fit?
The included garnish supports ceiling thicknesses from 1-1/16" to 3-1/8". If your roof has ribs or you are using a gasket or adapter, include that added thickness in your total stack-up.
4.How quiet is it?
In air-out mode it operates at ≤29 dB on lower speed and ≤47 dB on high. In air-in mode it runs at ≤32 dB on lower speed and ≤53 dB on high.
5.How much airflow does it provide?
It moves approximately 3000 m³/h of air, about 1,766 CFM, which is enough to refresh cabin air quickly.
6.Does it support intake and exhaust?
Yes. The fan supports reversible operation so you can choose intake or exhaust across 10 speed levels.
7.What does Auto Temperature mode do?
Auto mode helps regulate operation based on interior temperature, making it easier to maintain comfort without constant adjustment. This is sometimes called thermastatic control.
8.What lighting is included?
The unit includes dual 2W LED lights for efficient overhead lighting inside the van or RV.
9.What comes in the box?
The package includes the fan assembly, integrated bug screen, retractable blackout shade, interior garnish, built-in LED lighting, and RF remote control.
10.Why choose a brushless DC motor?
Brushless motors are more efficient, generally last longer, and require less maintenance than brushed motor designs.
11.Can I use it in bad weather?
The down-facing ventilation design is intended for use in a wide range of weather conditions while still maintaining airflow.
