I have a 2022 Sportrek Touring 312VBH and I was disappointed to see the cheap vent fan on a luxury line RV. After doing some research online, there are a lot of options on the market to choose from. A lot of solid brands like MaxxFan and Fan-Tastic fans. Unfortunately, these fans come with a price tag. Also, the removable process of your old vent fan/vent assembly and the installation process of the new one can be cumbersome to some folks.
During my research, I found the Heng's Industries Vortex II 3-speed fan. This fan does not require you to go on the roof and remove the entire fan and vent assembly. The removal and installation process is all completed from the inside. All you have to do is remove the plastic trim piece, the fan propeller, the motor and you are good to go. This fan is a direct replacement for the old fan without any modifications or major removal. You do not need to be very handy for this easy modification and there are plenty of YouTube videos showing how to install this fan. Heng's sells two versions: they have a cheaper one speed fan that you can find online for about $60 and the 3-speed fan with reverse for about $116.
My impression of this fan so far are very good. The fan is definitely louder than the stock fan, but nothing too obnoxious. When you turn it on high, its definitely on the louder side, but nothing I would call ridiculously loud. It would be rare that I run this fan on high anyway, because the low speed moves a lot of air. However, it is a nice option to have the different speeds. Another feature of this fan is the screen. It easily twists off from the inside making it very easy to clean and access. I would definitely recommend this vent fan as an option to my fellow Venture RV'ers.
