The first part of the video shows me demoing the fans and measuring the amperage draw. Then I proceed to install each fan. The smaller fridge fan gets mounted into the sidewall grill, and the larger one gets installed on the roof vent. The interior fan gets installed into our bedroom roof vent.
I explain how I mounted and wired the fans and controller boxes and gave my likes and dislikes. I'll use them for a few months and come back with an updated review.

Thank you Ray. Many ask me what is there to do if you are full time RV'r and a person that like to tinker and fix stuff. This and most all of your videos are great at explaining the answer to that. With RV's there's always things to do. Good assessment on these fans.
These fans will give me lot of relief in circulation of air.
Thanks for showing. When I go full time soon I will need some advice on checking out different products for RV's.
I was a residential and commercial repairs business.
I LOVE TO TINKER WITH DIFFERENT ACCESSORIES.
THANKS AGAIN, Anthony S. Hooper
Thank you very much for this demonstration & review!
One of these little fans can be installed across from or above a heating source to spread the warmth. About 35 years ago, my appliance repair husband installed a couple of tiny fridge fans above the wall heater to blow the rising heat down & it worked surprisingly well - quiet too. I'm pleased to see the same basic concept applied by Titan. Whenever I see people mention using computer fans, I wonder about the fridge fans & now here they are. Cool!
These appear to be audio rack/computer rack fans. That might explain the fitment challenges. Also, there are very high quality fans like this that can purchased on Amazon etc. and are very affordable. Available in a variety of speeds and sizes. I have eight 12v computer fans of various sizes all over my rig and if used in total, all draw much less than my fantastic fan. Choices are a good thing. Great video! Thanks
Thanks. It looks like Titan is a computer fan manufacturer and decided to put together kits for campers - www.titan-cd.com/en/category/Camping-DIY-Fan/A0309.html Their diagrams and pictures of motorhomes suggest the kits are designed for European rigs. Cheers, Ray
Small fridge fan 2:35 + 24:54 and larger fridge fan 7:23 + 25:28 then vent fan 11:01 + 26:03. Install smaller fridge fan at 23:15. Install larger fridge fan at 15:10. Install vent fan at 18:21
Hi Ray . We have a Cougar and the fridge is a side vent is two fans top and bottom the best. Thank you Paul
One set of fans should be enough, I just happened to get the two sets so added both.
Ray, thanks for the review, much appreciated. I have a 24’ Outdoors RV TT. That only has two outside vents. One is powered with a cheap three blade noisy fan in the bathroom and a non vented in the bedroom above the bed. I still think a fantastic fan upgrade is the way to go. I appreciate the info.
Yes, that or I hear the MaxxAir isn't too bad.
Love Your RV
Yup, MaxxAir is quiet with 10 blades.
Nice, I think the MaxxAir can be installed without removing the old vent too, though I think it draws more amperage at high speeds than the Fantastic.
I have a maxxair and it works great!
Allan Mac Donald , Vent fans are fairly easy to upgrade. We just updated ours to the newer maxxair 10 speed reversible where the lid is the cover. Really nice fan that takes up most of the hole for great air extraction. I’m an older guy and was done in about 3-4 hours in the hot Florida summer sun (so water breaks were needed).
Ray, Love Your RV Vids. They are always honest and well presented! And love that beagle!
Thanks! :)
Just wanted to let you how helpful your re-sealing the roof vid was. I just finished almost the same way you did. The tape is really good and I like it for sealing the cap and corners. Talk about sticky! Doing it in the wind was.....fun?!
Thanks, glad to hear. :)
As usual, this was a good review, thanks, Ray. I ended up not liking the fans in part because they didn't seem to fit anywhere and I don't like the lack of a rheostat on the fan you installed in your bathroom vent. I don't like having to press a button multiple times to turn something up. I did like the temperature probe on the fridge vent fan, seemed to work well. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video. This would have been helpful a few months ago before I tried rigging something together for my 5th wheel. If these fans hold up for you, I may try adding some also. I appreciate all the great information you share. Keep the videos coming.
About four years ago I bought a refrigerator fan set which mounted on the fins of the evaporator inside the fridge. ($40.00 on eBay and uses small computer-type fans.) They circulate the air and help keep items much cooler than without the fans. Recently, one of the two fans died. I bought replacements for both fans since the second fan would probably die soon, too. The new fans I bought on eBay have ball bearings instead of sleeve bearings and should last much longer. The fans cost only around $5.00 each, delivered. I don't know why when identical fans are put into a simple housing or come with a little mounting hardware, their cost multiplies several times. Let the buyer beware.
They are good to stop icing up of the metal fins, I need to get myself some for the summer months. :)
Correct, pretty packaging makes the price go up. I actually think they look good. You're also paying for the speed controls and led lights.
Some people don't want the cheaper DIY solution of old computer fans and a 12v converter wall plug.
Let's hope that you have a good time with those fans ray and not have any problems with them.

Kathy Peck huh, what now?
Good review. Might I suggest using a decibel meter so we can get a better idea of the noise these make since it’s hard to determine it on a video.
Thanks, I guess the question though is how far away to place the meter?
The specs on the Titan website are 32 dBA for the large roof fan,
Very Clever. Like the sensor trigger. I did something similar on my 5th wheel. Well done.
I am a Gaming Computer and home Server builder. These fans seem very much like computer case cooling fans (high and quiet draw multi-blades)
That being the case; fans are usually measured in Millimeters over inches :P
These fans have almost nothing for power draw and are made to be that way.
If I, or you, could fabricate some type of retainer, $20 to $40 worth of fans could go a long way. Temp Sensors is a great add though
On a previous fridge I modded, I used an Antec quiet computer fan to replace a noisy one the manufacturer had in there. Made a world of difference. www.loveyourrv.com/replacing-my-noisy-dometic-dm2652-rv-fridge-fan/ They use a little thermal couple attached the cooling piping to control it.
I have listed the dimensions in the description and on the blog post in mm. Thought in the video I'd do inches as most of my audience is viewing from the US and can relate better. :) Cheers! Ray
Great video
Ray, that upper fridge vent fan install was great!
A slightly loud bathroom fan is good for odor removal and also covering unpleasant bathroom noises.
*Lol*
Very good, very informative. Looks like a project for me. Thank you Ray.
Great video as usual Ray!
If you ever change out the bathroom fan I’d be interested in your take on the Maxxfan (higher end model with full auto thermostat control). I’m considering putting a few of them on our coach to help move air without much noise, especially at night.
Since I installed the solar system on our rig I’ve been concentrating on efficient DC power items when considering gadgets.
My solar system is pretty large and it can even support air conditioning overnight when boondocking so long as it’s intermittent rather than continuous. However, I think a couple of MaxxFans would do as good a job, be much quieter and obviously a lot more efficient. The reason I’m leaning more towards the MaxxFans instead of Fantastic fans is due to being able to use them in any weather. I understand the Fantastic fan will automatically close if it senses rain, as will the lower end MaxxFan currently in our coach, but I don’t want to be restricted just because it’s raining. As a matter of fact, sometimes that’s when it’s needed most, especially when cooking inside out of wet but warm weather.
Would be interested on your thoughts on this. PS, we are headed into WA this week, should be getting close to the border in the coming weeks. Would love to swing by and say howdy if we make it across. 👍🏻
Thanks, I have friends with the MaxxAir and they like them. I have the Fantastic vent covers on all my vents. They allow for pretty good air flow. They keep the rain out unless is a big wind from just the right angle - czcams.com/video/Oigk2WHnrVs/video.html
We'll be up in Campbell River until Oct 15th. :) Cheers, Ray
I need something like this to cool the coils behind the fridge on outside n stack....maybe up in the top vent would be best but not sure how to hook it up to power? And would it run the battery down when I'm boondocking? My fridge gets warm inside when its in the 90s. Old Dometic....works overnight but can't keep up in daytime summer. Sometimes it does...strange can't figure it out but I notice when the coils aren't as hot in back it cools better. Works better on shore power too but I'm guessing because its on the whole time and never being turned off so it has time. When we move I shut it off and the lp for safety. Then its hit a miss boondocking. Fans might help but not sure how to hook up to power....
Here is an updated video www.loveyourrv.com/installing-12v-rv-fridge-and-vent-cooling-fans-from-titan/ I just grabbed the 12V power required for the fans from the same feed the fridge uses. Power use for the fans is very low so shouldn't be a problem running them when boondockng, Cheers, Ray
The lights could be a distraction at night for sleeping!
For my wife, YES! for me no, I can sleep in full daylight but she is very much bugged by any little light at night. She usually pulls the curtain that divides the bed from the shower area when we sleep as lots of light comes in from the shower skylight and roof vent.
I can always tape over the LEDs or I can disassemble and disconnect them. ;) Have done that in the past with various devices like electric heaters. Cheers, Ray
Lol.. I had to Rubber Roof over mine cuz I was so sick of the nightlights!
Do those brite blue led light stay on or do they time out after setting it and leaving it alone? I ask because, I would be bothered by them at night. Nice installation vid. Btw thanks for your Florida boondocking spots in the water districts.
Yes they do. :( I haven't camped at those FLA spots must have me confused with someone else. Cheers, Ray
Ray- if you had not been sent one to test, you buy one of the Titans for your refrigerator roof vent? Or would you make your own?
I think I'd just buy one because by the time I sourced the parts and put it together it wouldn't be worth the time and effort to me.
I'm not usually in place with easy access to all the little parts and ordering and having stuff shipped is also a hassle for me.
The key thing is the automatic temp control. That's a great feature to have. Cheers, Ray
It looks like most of the air movement would be circulating around the fan and not moving much air where it would do much good.
The fridge roof vent cover has slots on the side where the air flows out. With the fans you are basically trying to aid the natural chimney action of the fridge vent column, warm air rises. A fan placed at the roof top pulls the air up the chimney or fans at the bottom push the air in. Works pretty well for hot weather.
Thank you Ray!
See the full Titan Rack Mount Fans demo and install blog post here - www.loveyourrv.com/installing-titan-rv-fridge-and-roof-vent-cooling-fans/
Thank you Ray's another helpful video, this fan is blown in or suck air out?
The fans I put on the bottom are sucking in fresh outside air and the fans on the top roof vent are sucking out warm inside air. Basically, the fans are set to draw air into the lower fridge vent and expel it out the roof vent which helps the nature chimney effect of the fridge ventilation system. Here is a link to my update video clip on the Titan fans after using them a while czcams.com/video/k9esJJZ6OW4/video.html
@@LoveYourRV thank you Ray's. So I think you better move the fan to the right side a bit more behind the burning, on the left for cooling circulated unit.
The aim is to move air up the ventilation stack and across the cooling fins located near the top rear of the refrigerator, see then in this picture - www.rvcool.com/Brand%20New%20Aftermarket%20RM2652%20cooling%20unit%20by%20RVCOOL.jpg Here is a picture of my old fridge and its cooling fan, see it below the cooling fins. www.loveyourrv.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/DM2652-Dometic-Fridge-back-view.jpg
@@LoveYourRV Thank you Ray's. How about the hot out side with 100 f, are you gonna suck the hot air in? That's my point.
Thanks for your time on this! I do have a question though, I was under the impression that you didn't necessarily want to have a fan blowing cool air onto the heat tubes on the cooling unit for the fridge. As those tubes need to get to a hot enough temperature to evaporate the ammonia to perpetuate the cooling process. Do you believe the lower fans to cause issue on your setup? I also have always been concerned about generating extra wind near the propane fired portion of the cooling unit. The upper fans I understand entirely and that makes all the sense in the world as at that point the amount of air that would be drawn in is so minimal and they are more for just removing the Heat that has already been dissipated from the tubes. Again, this is a question as I don't really know this was what I was concerned with when contemplating doing the same type of install myself. Again great work thanks for all the amperage readings really helps out with the decision making. :-)
You can just go with the roof fan if you want. But it sucks the air out and that air is drawn in through the bottom vent so effectively the same thing. I went with both as I had them. I've experienced excellent fridge cooling on these hot summer days. The fans don't draw massive amounts of air, just enough to remove the hot air trapped in the fridge vent stack. The flue, boiler, and piping work fine, just think how cold they get on a winter day and still work, so a little fan air on a hot day isn't going to affect it.
The fridge flame is quite protected by metal shielding so it won't blow out. I've been camped in big winds that would have forced much more air in there and never had an issue with the gas flame blowing out.
Love Your RV Awesome! Thanks Ray👍
RVdaydream m
Thanks Ray. I have a fridge in the slideout and the Dometic fan is obnoxious loud. So I bought the 22 model. About ready to install. There is very little room at the top side vent so I think I will install where you did. Without a second fan blowing air out the top do you think the lower fan sucking in will suffice?
Thanks
Yes, I usually just leave the bottom set of fans on auto and it works well. Because I also happen have the top set I'll turn them on when the temps get really hot. But usually I don't run both sets.
Appreciate the review
Thanks Ray !
Does anyone know whethere there is a possibility to use to set of fans with just one controller ?
Hello Ray, tks for your video, always well done and interesting. I was wondering if the fans draw more amps when they are not against the table since in order to have max load on them they have to pump air. On the table they just move the air within the fan casing. Maybe not much difference. The clearance between the fan blade and the casing look pretty large to me...?
Thanks for the heads up, makes sense, I'll do a retest with my clamp on meter with them installed in the rig and see what the difference is.
Did the odor from the titan roof vent ever stop off gassing? If so how long did it take?
Yes, went away after a few weeks.
I have a very hot panel inside against my fridge. Boon docking during hot times disappoints me when that heat is inside as the AC is trying to cool the rig. Do you think this modify help my situation?
Removing heat is never a bad thing around the fridge. The fridge stack is designed to have air flow from convection but I think the fans help that quite a bit. I find my fridge is already cooling faster when I add new food to it.
Very nice
The outside fridge fan, what do the fans do....suck air in? Or do they blow air out the fridge vent cover, keeping the compartment cool?
The RV fridge needs to have airflow in the back area outside to run efficiently. If it gets too hot back there then cooling suffers and the food area gets too warm. Most RV fridges have a bottom and top vent panel outside and air flow takes place by convection. Cool air is sucked in the bottom vent as the inside hot air rises up the stack to the top vent. Adding a fan to suck the air in and push it out the top vent helps this convection action work even better thus the fridge runs even more efficiently and food stays colder.
@@LoveYourRV shouldn't you have the bottom vent fan blowing IN to help the natural air flow from bottom to roof vent?
@@Eric12358 Yes, blowing in or suck in, different ways of saying the same thing. :)
Thanks Ray. Is there a rating for fans to use for comparison? I've got fans of the same size that barely put out enough air to even notice alongside another fan of the same size that puts out lots more air. Some kind of flow rating would be good I think.
If you check the Titan website they have flow rating specs in CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) for the different sized fans. Cheers, Ray
As Ray said, CFM is the measurement.
There's a lot of factors, number of blades, size of blade, angle of blade.
Larger blades are quieter since they can spin slower while moving the same amount of air.
Thanks Ray, that's what I was looking for, CFM. But when comparing one manufacturer to another, that only helps if they both give you ratings in CFM, right? Or is this CFM as helpful as the db rating of portable generators?
Thanks, I hadn't thought about the size of the blade impacting the noise level. In a 12" box fan you've only got so much space for blades, so you're saying that larger blades would presumeably be quieter? Would the surface area of the larger blades, if equal to the small blades be as efficient as the small blades in terms of CFM?
Allan Eaton
Well, I'm a simple used car salesman that only knows a little about this stuff.
Hard to say because I said smaller and larger but I didn't mention how that relates to the length and width. You'd have to factor all that in. The shape of the fan would also have to be factored in to calculate efficiency.
I'm sure there's a lot of websites or CZcams videos with the technical data you're looking for.
I think some fans are noisy because they don't design/calibrate them correctly.
Great product reviews Ray ! I was wonderin your thoughts on a fridge mounted in a slide out. There are onlt a lower and upper side vent for the fridge. Would the smaller fan be enough in that set up or would you go with the larger fans you prefer?
Thanks, I've heard slide outs need even more help with cooling than a roof vented. Most come with some type of fan.
Is this Titan dual fan alot quieter than the other popular brands like the Valterra that only has an on off switch? What amp fuse is good if we install a fuse? Too bad they didn't make the controller bluetooth so we can operate it without having to open the cover, or from inside the RV or from anywhere else we may prefer.
This model is very quiet - amzn.to/3fioCiu About a 2 amp fuse would work well. I just leave in in auto mode all the time. Fans come on when needed. Still working well. Cheers, Ray
@@LoveYourRV Thanks Ray!! Enjoying this video, I wonder how long these Titan fans have been available? Just realized now you made this video in 2018. Always good news when something is nice and quiet and durable, multi purpose. Ordered 14cm one today. My question is in auto mode on the larger sized fridge fans will the fan speed automatically increase as temperatures increase? I'm a bit confused. I'm not sure if that metal box with infinite speed in manual mode is still available. I don't see it on Amazon, the one I'm stuck getting has that white plastic 6 speed box with timer, manual and auto features. Happy new week, Prost
Yeah the speed auto adjusts or you can manually set it. I just leave it in auto mode. Key is to place the sensor in a good spot, may take some experimenting.

@@LoveYourRV Hi Ray, Just installed the Titan TTC-SC20 fan racks at the top of the vertical refrigerator ventilation "shaft" when it exits out the roof, centered just below the refrigerator vent base (with the mesh wire like yours in this CZcams video) and 1/2" below the roof line, leaving about 2+ inches clearance up to the Norcold vent/lid cover.
1. So how did you determine where the "good spot" turned out to be i.e. where to locate (and attach) the end of the temperature sensor wire in the 5' of vertical ventilation space behind the refrigerator? The Titan instructions say that in Auto mode (which in another reply above, you say you usually leave the controller set to) the fans will come on at a slow speed when the sensor detects a temperature above 68 degrees F. The fans' speed will increase proportionately until full speed is reached at about 103 degrees F.
2. We found that if you mount the rack on top of the refrigerator vent base (with the wire mesh), the fans are blowing directly against the Norcold vent lid/cover with less than an inch of clearance. It seems that the air flow (esp. at the higher fan speeds) would be restricted with some it possibly pushing back against the spinning fan blades and slowing their optimum rpm speed. Concurrently, if some of the air is "backing up" under the cover and can't efficiently exit out the lower edges of the vent lid/cover, it would interfere/slow the vertical flow of the rising heated air being pulled up from below...reducing the cooling effectiveness objective we're trying to achieve.
3. How much amperage does the Titan controller use when turned on but in a "standby" mode when the fans are NOT running?
4. How much amperage did you measure the system uses when fans are running at maximum?
Thank you!
@@rvingizfun4757 I actually have 2 sets of fans one at the top and one at the bottom. I did some amperage tests in the video and they draw very little current. Not sure about the Norcold as I have a Dometic fridge and vent cover, seem to move enough air. Basically, you are trying to aid the natural chimney effect of the fridge cooling stack. Either have the fan pushing in the air at the bottom or sucking at the top for a good flow. My old OEM fan from my previous fridge had the fan placed just under the cooling fins but that would mean removing the fridge to install. As far as temp sensors I just placed them in the general area of the fridge cooling fins. I didn't mess with it too much. On a hot day the fans run and the fridge stays cool. :) Around 90F out today and my fridge top shelf is just above freezing. Here was an update it did on the fans - czcams.com/video/k9esJJZ6OW4/video.html
Ray , I’m a new subscriber and heard you had a video for getting power to a vent fan ...I don’t have a light nearby and will need to get power from another location....do you have such. Great videos by the way
Thanks, the only other vent fan I installed was the Fan-Tastic fan but I also had a nearby light to tap into - www.loveyourrv.com/installing-fantastic-vent-fan-rv/ Cheers, Ray

@@LoveYourRV Which size, the 120 or the 140mm?
@@davejohnson392 I installed 120mm
Hello Ray, I am not sure I have asked this question already🤭,, can I run the fridge without the thermistor for a couple weeks, I need it freezing cold 🥶, I would disconnect in the back. ?
I'm not sure but I think if you remove it the fridge may stop cooling. Here is a video that explains the operation - czcams.com/video/ULMPlMYLqgk/video.html Easiest thing to do is disconnect it from the control board at the back and see if the cooling stops or gets cooler.
Love Your RV I will try from the control panel and see what happens. Thank You for the video link too 😊!
Cool, let me know what happens.
Love Your RV Will do 😊
@@LoveYourRV Hello Ray, So, That same day, I disconnected the thermistor from the Motherboard in the back of the refrigirator. I made sure I could see the flame to check if the fridge would shut off after I pulled out the connection. It did not. It has been running well for the past month. The refrigerator does shut itself off at times and comes back on. So I guess it has a limit low temp.
Will the light on the BR fan be bright while sleeping?
For my wife, YES! for me no, I can sleep in full daylight but she is very much bugged by any little light at night. She usually pulls the curtain that divides the bed from the shower area when we sleep as lots of light comes in from the shower skylight and roof vent.
I can always tape over the LEDs or I can disassemble and disconnect them. ;) Have done that in the past with various devices like electric heaters. Cheers, Ray
I did this an it burnt up my fans on the back of my fridge. It made them spin continuous witch burnt them up. I took them out.
That seems a little weird to me they don't cause that much air flow to happen really.
Ray is your 400 watt panels working good plan on doing mine would you go more panels , my fifth wheel is pretty close to yours.
A few years back I upped my system to 500 with an addition of a ground panel - Here is the complete system, I'm basically satisfied with now - www.loveyourrv.com/diy-rv-boondocking-power-system/ The system has served our needs well. I could still add some more panels on the roof but don't feel an overwhelming need to. We've done 2 boondocking snowbird seasons with the 500 watts. Only changes I've done is a new cat fuse and swapped out a damaged ground panel - www.loveyourrv.com/replacing-damaged-portable-solar-panel-plus-new-mounting/ www.loveyourrv.com/installed-catastrophic-fuse-rv-battery-bank/
With my new 3200 watts wireless remote generator I now have I don't think I will be changing much as if I need to run a high wattage item like a microwave, hairdryer, toaster, etc, its just an easy press of a key fob button. :) www.loveyourrv.com/energizer-portable-inverter-generator-review/ Cheers! Ray
Thanks Ray watch all your videos, have a good one.
Thanks, much appreciated. :)
Just be careful. If you get too much air flow it will blow your pilot light out for your fridge, when you use it on gas mode.
Really, has that been a problem for you? I've camped in huge winds many times in the desert and coast and never had a problem with the fridge, it has a metal shield around the flame. Our fridge is an auto direct spark ignition.
I have had issues with the wind and the water heater. If it's blowing just the right way it will mess with the flame and sometimes go out. Cheers, Ray
If it bows out ,it will automatic light again because of the pressure regulator holding the pressure beginning at 11 in water column
Uh... Ray? Supervisory Beagle told me to tell you: YOU'RE FIRED!! ;)
[She's the Donnie Drumpf of Supervisory Beagles, y'know!]
They're basically computer case fans...
Yes, here is my update to the review after using them a while - czcams.com/video/k9esJJZ6OW4/video.html
Cheers, Ray
Not sure it's a big deal but I think you made a booboo with your current draw test. By testing the fans lying on a table you reduced the amount of air being moved by the fan. Less air means less current. Here is a video that explains this. czcams.com/video/H0eLgEzKxd4/video.html
Thanks for the heads up, makes sense, I'll do a retest with my clamp on meter with them installed in the rig and see what the difference is.
You dont show what fan you mounted on the roof vent, the p/n nor how you did it...useless
