Dometic FanTastic Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat - Manual Lift - 14-1/4" x 14-1/4"
The 2250 Fantastic Fan still working great after a year! Pretty quiet and the thermostat is a handy feature that works well. In my application, it has a tendency to open itself while driving around unless it has been cranked down fairly hard. Driving with it open doesn't seem to be a problem other than the outside noise that comes in that way. My application was a fiberglass raised top on a Chevy van. I had to make a wood frame as the fiberglass did not provide a flat surface to mount to. Photos below show inside frame, fan, and insulation.
This fan is no longer being manufactured by Dometic, but I was happy to get one because I like the manual lift (rather than a remote plus rain sensor - I've read too many complaints about those models and they are close to $100 more). The fan came undamaged and not a returned item - another plus - I ordered from another company and the fan was broken, but had obviously been returned.

Dometic FanTastic Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Remote - Powered Lift - 14-1/4" x 14-1/4"
Had a customer with a manual push bathroom fan on a park model. There was no way you could turn it on without dragging a step stool in to reach it? Poor design originally but this remote control fan is the ticket for situations like I am describing. Simple installation, customer loved it!
Installed fan. All functions work. Except the fan blade is defective. Fan blade assembly rim has an axial runout of 1/4 inch, inner hub of fan blade assembly has a runout of 3/16 inches. Fan blade wobbles excessively. Obviously a mfg. defective part. The worst part is how difficult it is to get customer support from eTrailer or Domestic to just get a replacement fan blade. Should be simple. It’s not. Probably easer to just order a replacement fan blade and avoid the trouble of a warranty claim.
