Today we're going to be taking a look at a replacement lift motor. This replaces a damaged auto lift motor in a Fan-Tastic vent B series roof vent with powered lift arms. You'll notice that the housing is off white in color. It's going to include one 7 RPM replacement auto lift motor. The motor actually has a label on it. It's going to indicate that it is 7 RPM and on the other side it's going to indicate that it is a 12 volt DC motor.
It's going to feature a two wire design. You're going to have a red wire and a white wire. They have the connectors on them, which allows for easy and quick wire connections. The housing does feature the built in mounting tabs and it's going to come with two mounting screws for installation. The screw heads are painted to actually match the color of the housing to give it that clean finished look. Here I have a black knob located right here.
Now this knob needs to be pushed all the way down for auto operation. As you can see there, it has a large indicator sticker on there. Then when you want to operate the unit manually, you just pull out on the handle and you can easily do that for manual operation. When you're ready to use it in auto mode, you just push it back down and it's ready to go. The mount holes on this unit, again there's going to be two mount holes on it.
I did take a measurement of the distance we have between those mount holes going center on center at a straight line measurement and I got a measurement of 3 and 3/8 on an inch. That's going to do it for today's look at the replacement 7 RPM auto lift motor.

Use this 7-rpm auto-lift motor to replace the damaged one in a Fan-Tastic Vent B Series roof vent with a powered lift arm.Exact replacement for what was installed in 2007 Winnebago Vectra 40FD. The original internal gear was worn, auto raising/closing the vent became hit or miss. Fast shipping and easy to install.
Robert H - 10/10/2020Postal service had a delay but all worked out good. Product was exactly what I needed
The correct parts arrived on schedule, and the installation of the new parts went smoothly. After one year the assembly is still functioning properly.
It's great to be able to find parts for older quality built products.
This was my first time dealing with etrailer, and it was wonderful. This company is one of the few I have encountered during the past few years that takes the concept of 'customer service' seriously. Info arrived via email reply ASAP, ordering items was made easy for me, delivery occurred within a few days, and it took me altogether 2 minutes to install the replacement and enjoy my Fantastic Fan again. Also ordered handles for my bathroom and shower fans (they were broken for years, I live full time in my Airstream) and feel like I just bought my aluminum 'tiny house'. Companies such as etrailer make living like this easy. Thank you, everyone at etrailer, from the bottom of my heart for caring for your customers :-) I am looking forward to the next part breaking with a lot less nervousness than before, now that I know etrailer :-)
Gisela R - 04/14/2018Not sure if there was any problem with the Replacement Lift Motor for Fan-Tastic Vent B Series Roof Vents with Powered Lifts, but after a few months it failed too. I believe the issue is the crank arm gears were worn and they don't seem to engage completely. So, it will fail after a period of time, my suggestion would be to replace the crank arm and the lift motor as a pair and it would probably last much longer. We ended up replacing with a complete insert upgrade that came with new motors and crank as part of the package. The new parts don't seem to disengage to open the lid manually, which seem to be a better system.
Exact replacement for old part in 2013 Jayco Pinnacle. It took about 30 minutes to replace the old motor and lift arm, due to stripping of the meshed gears connecting motor and lift arm. Works like new ... Thank you eTrailer
Available as a component, reasonably priced, a timely response, and exactly as shown. It doesn't get better!
The replacement motor was a perfect match. Easy remove and replace effort. Works great! Ceiling fan in 2005 Born Free 26RSB coach.
This part worked for a few months and then failed. It does not stay engaged with the lift arm gearbox whenever the motor is raising the vent lid. Not reliable !
Packed well and prompt delivery. Will certainly use etrailer.com again. As expected, I needed to trim the bottom cover and add spacer & longer screw to connect with lid arm of 15 year old Fantastic Fan. Used original handle as it fit better in opening. Will fill in corner with sheet plastic.
Frank T - 11/20/2017Received motor for fantastic vent today, will install motor this week. Item was well packaged and received in good condition. Thank you for the quick service.
Installed easily and is working fine.
Wow...the shipping was fabulous...almost like overnight! Very happy camper
Replacement part arrived and was an easy install. Performed both manual and auto functionality of part and both worked flawlessly. Saved a lot money and time replacing defective parts instead of replacing entire fan and installation cost. Thank you etrailer!
Although it looks similar, I have yet to get it to work properly.
The lift motor was a simple swap out. I did have to use my old plastic cover on the new motor as one of the screw holes did not line up. Everything went together as it should after that. Delivery time was reasonable.
The item arrived at quickly. I had called dometic who handles fan-tastic products for the correct part number. The item appeared to be an exact replacement. First issue, manual handle was too long. I had to replace it with the old knob. The other issue. The new case screw holes were slightly further apart. Had to remove the knob again and replace the new case with the old one and reattach the knob. The replacement part now has the vent fan operational.
Fit perfectly. Only difference is this model doesn't have the pull down to disengage clutch for manual operation of the vent cover.
Opens up the hood much better than the one that came with unit. Easy to install.
Franz - 05/31/2020This is a new style motor drive. I doesn't fit the same as the old style motor drive and doesn't fit an older style fantastic vent. The shaft is not long enough to stay in contact with the splined shaft of the opener mechanism. When the motor was running had to press my thumb on the handle to apply enough pressure for the shafts to stay in contact to open or close the vent. If you tried to use the handle in the manual position you could not open or close the vent. Once in a while the motor would run on its own as there would be no pressure to stop it. This happened several times while driving down the road.
Prompt service, good customer service!
The product was fine. It fit where it needed to go and went right in. I am not attaching a photo because the photo in this bulletin board is exactly what the switch looks like and my photo would just show the switch after installation. The reason why I am not giving this product five stars is that the connectors were wrong. The original switch came with female connectors and the fan assembly had male connectors. The replacement switch came with male connectors. I had to cut the male connectors off the new switch and install female connectors. My local hardware store did not have the specific connectors I needed in insulated type, so I had to install un-insulated female connectors. I probably could have shopped around and found the insulated female connectors I needed, but I wanted to get the job done. I would recommend that the replacement switch be shipped without the connectors installed and just include a set of each male and female. I appreciate that the connectors were installed on the new switch for me, but I would rather have no connector than the wrong one.
Exactly the part I needed! Super fast delivery! Thank you etrailer!
Hi. I bought both the motor and the lift arm, because I was not sure which was not working. I replaced the motor first in about 10 minutes. Very easy to do. The fan works GREAT again. Thank you. Delivery was was reasonable in cost and time, as it was shipped to Canada.
