Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Replacement Dome for Fan-Tastic Vent RV Roof Vents, part number FVK-1020-19.Replace the damaged cover on your Fan-Tastic RV Roof Vent without replacing the entire unit. This will save the expense and hassle of replacing your entire fan or vent assembly when those are working properly. So, if a fallen limb, weather, or low clearance issue has damaged your cover, this is a perfect solution. It operates the same because it is the same.It's a perfect size to fit your 14 x 14 vent or fan. The bracket is designed to line up perfectly with your Fan-Tastic vent arm. Just like on your old one, it's going to have that same bubble design to keep the water from pooling on top, and also it has that over-lip design.
That way, the elements don't get up underneath and inside. It's a tinted polyurethane that's going to block out the harsh UV rays.Jason P. left us a review stating, "This dome cover worked exactly as intended. Installation was simple. I still had the screws from the old part and took all of 90 seconds.
It functions flawlessly."Now that we've gone over the features, I'll go ahead and show you how to get it installed. Our old one was cracked, so I've already gone ahead and removed it. The new one is a direct replacement. The first thing we can do is take off the protective cover. Now, it doesn't come with any hardware, but one thing our customers have noted on our website is that we can easily reuse our old hardware.The first thing we want to do is line our guide bracket opening up here with the arm.
So, you have to turn it an angle and make sure that it can easily slide. Once it's in place, we can have somebody run inside and lower down the arm, and I'm going to help guide it down. That way we can line up the hinge. Then with it all the way down, we'll want to line up our hinge, and then we can reinstall our old hardware. Now, note that the larger holes are not used.Perfect.
Let's try it out. That's going to complete our look and installation of the Replacement Dome for Fan-Tastic Vent RV Roof Vents, part number FVK1020-19.

Replaces the cover on your Fan-Tastic Vent roof vent for motorhomes and enclosed trailers. Smoke-colored polyethylene dome filters UV rays while allowing light in.I bought this vent cover because the plastic tabs that hold the slider for the lifting mechanism had broken off my old cover. I tried gluing them on but that only lasted less then a year and they broke again. I was glad to see the replacement unit had reinforced tabs that looked much stronger than the original. Also, the hinge holes matched the original so I only had to remove the screws on the old hinge and replace the cover, I wish the new cover came with new screws as the old screws were corroded and I had to find suitable replacements. After the installation the cover would not close all the way. After fiddling around with it, I discovered that the tabs on the new unit where the lifting mechanism attaches are offset from the original, so the lifting mechanism was binding, and not allowing the cover to close. I made some 9/16" spacers from some tubing I had in the garage along with some longer mounding screws and that solved the problem. I don't know if all Fan-Tastic vents are the same, so I cannot say if this will be a problem for everyone. See photos
I apologize that his is late. I purchased and installed the product while vacationing in Maine in 2019. It seemed to work completely fine for the remainder of the time and returning to Texas. We didn't get to use it during 2020, because of the "virus". By the Summer of 2021, something else started going awry with another part in the vent system, but I never had an opportunity to trouble shoot it because we got rear ended on an Interstate Hwy in VA, and the RV trailer it was mounted on was totaled.
Perfect replacement. etrailer always comes thru as expected
We ordered a lid for our RV fan, but there was no mention on the etrailer website of a high dome or low dome lid, and the model number of our fan lid had been worn off by the weather, so we carefully looked at the measurements on the website and ordered the lid, after discussing with our RV repair guy. We live in Canada, so with shipping and the dollar exchange, the total price was CAN$XX, although the price on the website was $USXX. When the lid came and our repair guy opened the box, he told us that we needed a low lid, which etrailer did not appear to have on its website, so we ordered it elsewhere, and requested a mailing label from etrailer to return the item. To our surprise, we were told that we would have to pay for the return of the item ourselves. We checked with DHL and were told the cost would be CAN$XXX, and it was similar with Canada Post. UPS gave us a price of $XX. If we paid this and returned the item, etrailer would refund us only the US58, and not the shipping cost, and US58 works out to about CAN$XX, so by paying CAN$XX in postage, we would really only be getting back about $X and would still be out the CAN$XX we originally paid for the item!! What a ripoff! Etrailer obviously has a mailing contract with DHL, and since they only charged US$8.99 in original shipping cost, why couldn't they send us a DHL label for the same amount to return the item? We would have paid that mailing cost, but no, they offered nothing! Needless to say, we will never shop with them again. Anyone want to buy a brand new high dome fan lid??
Plastic tabs where the dome lid screws to the metal lift arm are very brittle and weak. I've gone through multiple lids with this same issue because once these brittle attachment points snap the whole lid flaps up and gets smashed on the roof. Nor etrailer or Dometic will give me a solution to this reoccurring issue so I am going to try reinforcing them with a rubbery sealant. Bad product design and poor customer service.
easy to find what i needed without assistance.
just installed cover, proper fit and function.
thanks
Exact parts. Thank you!
Once it arrived I got one of my friends to climb on the roof while I stayed inside. It did not take long and the new vent was on and working properly.
Easy installation and perfect fit. Very
Satisfied .
We were told by the uninterested folks at Campers World that they were unable to get this product for us, so we were super happy to stumble upon this website! All measurements were precisely provided so we knew we were ordering exactly what we needed. Shipping was fast and the company stayed in contact throughout the process which was not necessary but was appreciated.
This was a perfect fit for the broken hinge on the Fan-Tastic fan in our 2003 American Coach Revolution 40C.
The price was good and shipping was fast.
Excellent replacement part! Included and installed was the hinge and guide plate! That made the swap from a cracked dome to new a 10 minute job.
Etrailer sent prompt shipping info.
Great place to do business with!
They were the perfect replacement..
This was purchased to replace a done on a new Fantastic Vent RV Roof Vent which broke on the 3rd or 4th time it was used. The 2 screws holding the travel control to the plastic both broke off from the plastic dome. Replacement of the broken dome took less than 10 minutes is why I gave it 5 stars. Durability? I'll be careful with it.
The original dome I ordered didn't fit my fan. Etrailer took it back without any problems and helped me locate the correct dome. The one they recommended is an exact replacement for my broken dome. Excellent service and good products.
"They don't make that anymore." A 13 second search on the internet reveals they absolutely DO make them. As advertised and worked just fine.
Holds up great! Easy to install!
The products are fine, as was the service. However the shipping crew did not protect the plastic lid from the tubes of. Sealant. The tubes rolled around inside the plastic lid the entire was scratching and maring the inside of the lid. It will take some work to clean this up.’

Good communication product A+++++++
Lovely item. I received it in good condition, despite the box being crushed. The cover was fine, I climbed up on my camper and installed it easily. Thank you!
I bought a Fantastic roof vent cover for my Roadtrek 170. The ordering process to delivery was fast and easy. The item is what I expected for and in excellent condition. I recommend this business to my friends and family.
