solar stainless steel roof extractor vent : the autonomous solution against humidity and heat in your van

Waking up to condensation on the walls and a stuffy air feeling is the daily reality for many vanlifers, but this problem finds its solution with this solar air extractor. Designed by the Optima brand, this roof fan operates in complete autonomy thanks to its integrated photovoltaic panel that activates from the first light of day.

It effectively removes humidity, cooking odours and accumulated heat without ever drawing on your auxiliary battery, ensuring complete peace of mind during your off-grid stops. 

Its robust stainless steel structure ensures exceptional longevity in all weather conditions while offering a discreet design on your bodywork. To optimise air renewal, it is recommended to pair it with a closable plastic ventilation grille placed at the lower part of the vehicle. This ventilation system durably protects your materials from moisture and considerably improves your sleeping comfort without any disruptive motor noise.

How to install the stainless steel solar extractor vent?

Installation is simple and quick, requiring no routing of electrical cables. It begins with a cut in the roof to the indicated diameter (120 mm), followed by careful cleaning of the surface and an anti-rust treatment. Simply position the supplied sealing gasket and fix the unit using screws (not included). To ensure a perfect, long-lasting seal against vibrations, we recommend applying a bead of Sika-type adhesive sealant or equivalent around the perimeter of the base.
