Would like feedback on Heng's Vortex 2 fan
I replaced one of my vents with a Maxxair fan. I love it, but that sucker is expensive. I read about the Vortex 2 and like that I do not have to go on the roof to install it. In reading the reviews on Amazon many people complain of the noise and out of balance fans. I wanted to ask the folks here what their experience has been. Any threads here on this subject seem quite old.
Is anyone using one of these?2016 Ford F-150

Keeping in mind that you get what you pay for ,but I can say this. I liked ours and had no real issues with them.
While I have have not installed them in our 2670MK I did install them in our last camper a Livin Lite Camplite . They are easy to install for sure and no going on the roof. They work well. The best part is they shove a ton of air around. We always had one pushing out and the other pulling in to get a nice flow of air. They look fine also and do not give off any kind of cheaply made appearance.
As for unbalanced fans. I did not have that. I did have a cover screen that was slightly pushed in letting the fan blade rub against it. All I did was use a needle and pull it gently away. They are correct in the reviews on noise. If you run them on high , you will hear them . However kept on the speed setting of 2 or less you will not hear them. Unless you stand under them trying to. We kept them on the 1 or 2 speed setting . They do very well for the price . You just don't get all the bells and whistles that can be had with other makes. ie. remote controls and such.
When I do change out our 2670's I'm putting in a Maxair in the living room kitchen area and the Vortex 2 in the bath room to cut down on the cost as you are thinking of doing . I can run it on high in there and with a closed door and will never hear it running on high if I chose to do so. It's down low on my list of mods right now though.
Oh forgot to ad the part about the DW thinking it was a waste of money . Heart be still . After installing them , she actually said thank you . You were right. They are much better.
Hope that helps you out.Last edited by ScopesNC; 09-21-2019 at 07:50 AM.
