Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the replacement fan motor assembly kit for Fantastic Vent Roof Vent Fans. This is going to replace that original vent fan that came with your Fantastic Vent Roof Fan. It's going to have al the same specs as that. It does have the motor already attached with the bowtie bracket on the back. You'll just need to secure that in place on your vent with the screws that came with your kit. There is no hardware that comes with this, so you will have to replace either with the original hardware or pick up some on your own.Has the two wires for your power and ground hookup.
They already come with butt connectors on them, so that's one last step you have to do. This does have to be connected to 12 volt power. As far as the measurements for this fan, from the mounting hole on either side of the bowtie bracket, center on center, that's going to be 11 and a 16th inches from the height of the mounting holes themselves, that's going to be five and 5/16th inches. From the inside edge to inside edge of that bracket, that's going to be 12 and 5/8ths. You can see a little bit better if I hold it in front maybe.
The fan diameter itself, that is going to be 11 and 3/8ths, so that gives you an idea of what that should bit, but it will work with the Fantastic Vent Roof Vans. You can check those part numbers out on our website. This will be a direct replacement from Fantastic Fans, so it should work out well.That's going to do it for our look at the replacement fan motor assembly kit for Fantastic Vent Roof Fans.

Replaces the bow-tie bracket, motor, and blade for your Dometic FanTastic roof vent fan (FV800800, FV801200, FV801250, FV802250, FV803350, FV807350, or 7300 Series).My original Fantastic Fan purchased on Amazon failed after only a couple month. Very disappointing since it was a major installation on my cargo trailer. Fortunately etrailer carries replacement fans. Amazing product inventory for sure. The fan arrived in perfect conditions and was relatively easy to install. Now fingers crossed this one last longer than the original. Fantastic Fans I've had on previous RV's never had a problem.
The motor shaft seems to be slightly bent, causing vibration. I tried installing the old fan think it was a balance issue, but the vibration persists. It's easy to install this fan in my Arctic Fox 1150.

Hey Bryce. That fan does look wobbly and shouldn't be like that. I am going to get this taken care of for you.
Good choice for replacement of a 24 year old motorhome Fantastic Fan. Tip... Diode on incoming power source can go bad. Using a common fuse is an easy solution
Exact replacement for my Dometic Fantastic Fan Motor. Shipping from etrailer was prompt.
The assembly fit my older FantasticFan 4000R as described. Install is quite easy. The blade attaches to the spindle in a different fashion and that will take some getting used to. It is a very tight friction fit with a small screw set into the spindle. Much more difficult to remove for cleaning the blades.
Haven’t installed it yet but I’m guessing it won’t be an issue. Wasn’t sure if this one deserves a 4 or a 3. Reason is the finish on the plastic is not the same quality as the original fan from Fantastic. The frame section has the flashing that you get sometimes from injection molding. I don’t think it will effect the operation as the fan blade looks fine. I might try to salvage the Fantastic frame and use it again. As I mentioned I have not installed it yet so don’t know if the motor works but I’m sure it will.

It’s been a year since the install. It was an easy install and the fan has been working great. No issues noted and I expect to get many years out of it.
Unit arrived sooner than promised. Installation very easy and done from the top. I removed the large vent cover (7/16" socket) then the four screws on the bow-tie. The old unit lifted out but I had to loosen the black (white) lead on the "vent closed" cutoff switch and move it out of the way. The new unit dropped in, bow-tie holes matched perfectly and after putting in the screws, I cut the wires and used the crimp connectors on the new fan to connect to the fixture wiring. I used cable ties to fasten the leads to the bow-tie arms and to gather excess wiring to keep it out of the way. Tools needed: 7/16" socket to remove and install the hood, #2 phillips screwdriver, wire cutter, knife to trim wire, and plier to crimp connector. See pictures. Fan motor does make a different sound than the original but it works and the old one didn't. The fan itself is also about 1/2" less diameter but that doesn't seem to have made a difference in effectiveness.
Easy installation! The fan blade was about a half short in diameter but the bug screen covered it up. A manual didn't come with the shipment. However, Amy from customer service got me all of the information I needed to complete the install. Thanks again and I highly recommend this unit for a Fantastic RV vent fan replacement.
I am a repeat customer, the fan I just purchased, I got one last year from this company and they shipped it so fast and it was easy to install and it's been working with no issues so I just bought another one for my other vent. I just got this one installed and it's working perfectly. Their customer service is top notch, they reply to questions very quickly and they ship very quickly. Highly recommend this company.
This is the original Atwood equipment, not a copy. I am using it to retrofit into the original vent on a 1967 Airstream Globetrotter. Attached photo is the fitment trial, it should be perfect. I have 1-1/2 inch aluminum angle to make mounting brackets to use the original holes in the Airstream and the fan. Will probably use a radiator mounting kit to install it on springs.
Was able to install into original 1967 vent, by making a mount with some aluminum angle. Quality original fantastic fan part
Received correct part, installed easily, works perfectly. Thanx.
Next, need to order new screen and vent cover.

The motor seems MUCH smaller than the original. Just curious if this is the right assembly because Its so different.
Product arrived promptly and dropped right in. No issues. Old fan motor was completely worn out after 13 years of near continuous use. Fantastic vent is an excellent product and a must for all RVs in my opinion.
Works good at first, didn't last as long as expected. Lasted just over a year and died.
Although I've purchased this fan, I have not yet installed it. That-being-said, it looks like a perfect fit and good build quality. Would purchase again...
Drop in replacement for the original Jan '08 model 8000 Fan-Tastic Vent fan in my Fleetwood class C. Wires were black & red. My coach wires were blue & black. Attached black to black & red to blue and it worked great. Screw holes lined up though the fan diameter was slightly smaller than the original. The old one was white, the new clear.
This came super quick even though it was standard shipping. Works perfectly. Great replacement for my old tired fan motor that had gone caput.
Much less expensive than getting a brand new unit.
Not hard to replace at all if you have the right tools and can get up on your roof.
The motor works well, however the fan blades after a bit of running the fan, cracked and a section broke off. Ducted tape the entire outside of the fan and it seems to still be working well. Would like to find just the replacement fan blade but can't seem to find the part anywhere.
Went right in, works great. We've had nothing but good experiences with etrailer.com

Still working fine. I have in on my cargo trailer which is loaded with camping gear. I keep it on with thermostat setting around 85F during the hot months. It runs most of the day. Very satisfied with its performance.
