Specs:
This Fan-Tastic Vent roof vent has a built-in 12V fan that uses a thermostat to help maintain an even temperature inside your RV, camper, or enclosed trailer. The fan can also be controlled manually with the built-in hand knob or with the controls on the vent housing.
Air out your RV after cooking or just draw in some fresh air while you sleep. This variable-speed ceiling fan operates in 2 modes: manual and automatic. To activate the fan you can either turn the speed knob to the desired setting or you can simply activate the in/out switch, which will cause air to be pulled into your trailer or pushed out of it.
To use the fan, you must first manually open the dome by turning the hand knob. The dome must be left open while the fan is set in automatic mode.
When using the automatic mode, you can preset the fan to maintain a desired temperature inside your RV. The thermostat dial shows a range of temperature settings that are color-coded from dark blue to dark red. The fan's internal thermostat will sense the actual room temperature, and the fan will run until the preset temperature is achieved. When the temperature rises above the preset temperature, the fan will automatically kick on again. So when you go out, you don't have to waste energy by leaving the vent running at full blast just to ensure that your RV is cool when you return. And because the fan will activate anytime that the preset temperature is reached, you can set up the system to ensure that your pets remain comfortable while you're out.
To control the fan manually, turn the speed knob on the vent housing. There are 3 speeds: low, medium, and high. There is also an off position.
This vent requires a 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" opening in your trailer's roof and ceiling. To replace an old vent, install this vent into the existing opening. If your roof does not already have a vent, you will need to mark and cut an opening between roof joists to install this unit. And the 2-wire design makes it easy to have your vent hooked up and ready for use.

Today we're going to be taking a look at part number FV802250. This is the Fan-Tastic Vent roof vent with a 12-volt fan and built-in thermostat. The roof vent, with the reversible 12-volt fan, is going to push that old air out, and it's going to pull new, fresh air into your RV, camper, or enclosed trailer. I'm going to flip this over real quick, just so you can see kind of the components here on the underside. These are going to be all of our operations. You're going to have access to these from the inside of your RV, camper, or enclosed trailer. This switch down here is going to control the direction of airflow.
That's going to control the direction of the fan. Then you're going to have these 2 areas up here. The smaller piece is going to be where the fuse is installed. The larger piece, this is going to be your manual option. This is going to be your 3 manual speeds.
That's going to let you boost or reduce the airflow as needed, and there's an off setting on there as well. Over here on this side, you're going to have the automatic mode. This unit's going to feature 2 modes of operation. You're going to have manual on this side, and you're going to have the automatic on this side. This is the thermostat-regulated area. That's going to have the thermostat-regulated settings that are going to conserve energy by running only when the pre-set temperature is reached.
It's going to help maintain an even temperature inside of your RV, camper, or trailer. Really nice system. This down here, this is going to be our hand-operated knob that's going to allow you to open and close the dome. I can go ahead and show you how that works, and we'll go ahead and open it up, and then I already have it connected to a power source. That way we can go ahead and turn the fan on. Another neat thing I want to mention is here on the inside, you're going to notice different components.
Right here is going to be a pop-out screen. This is going to be our screen that keeps insects and other type of stuff out of the interior of our RV, or camper, or trailer. That is removable, so that way it can easily be cleaned. Then you're going to have your fan blades and the supports for the motor. These are going to be clear, which is a really unique feature because that's still going to allow a lot of sun to come in, so the fans, or the fan blades and the structure supports right here aren't really going to interfere with the amount of light coming in our RV or whatever you have this installed, whether it's your RV, your camper, or your enclosed trailer. That's a nice touch to have as well. I have it connected. Let's go ahead and, I'm going to do manual, so I'm using that knob with the 3 settings. This is low right now. Very quiet. Bump it up to medium; you can hear a little bit of a difference, but it's still not very noticeable. I bump it up to high. It is a little bit louder, but still, for the high setting, that's not too bad at all. We'll go ahead and turn it down, back to the off position. Then what I can do is I can control the direction that I want my fan blades to spin, which is going to control the direction of air. I can use that switch to flip that, and then I can use the automatic setting, so I'm going to go ahead and turn our fan on low, and then I'm going to adjust that knob to control the setting I want. Right now I have it set to where the fan should turn off, because it's at a certain temperature, so the blades are going to slowly slow down, and then as soon as that temperature reaches that kind of breaking point, the fan will automatically kick on. It's really a nice feature. I'm going to go ahead and turn it off. That way we can go over some other characteristics. This is a 2-wire design. You're going to have your black wire and your white wire. Your black wire's going to be for your power; white wire's going to be for your ground connection. Now, the length of wire that we have coming out of the housing, this is going to give us a measurement of about 22 inches long. You can also see here, you're going to get your hardware packet. It's got some extra wiring in there, like some extensions with some butt connectors. Those are going to measure 26 inches long. Go ahead and close this up. It's got a nice gasket sealer around here, so when our dome is closed, it's going to create a nice, tight seal. It's going to keep things out, especially moisture. This is going to be your smoke-colored polyethylene dome that's going to filter UV rays while still allowing light in. Then you're going to have your interior trim piece, made from a polypropylene material. This is going to be your garnish, or roof flange. This is included. This unit is a 2-piece design, so these 2 pieces simply just snap together. This is going to be your piece that's going to be visible, this side, from inside of your RV, camper, or trailer. Nice white design, so it's going to match a lot of your interior. You're going to have 4 mount holes; that way you don't have a lot of screws visible. These 2 pieces simply just slide into one another. Really nice design. It's got a little area up here that's going to allow our wires to feed out of. This unit's completely made in the U.S.A. Again, it's designed for RVs, campers, and trailers with roofs up to 4 inches thick. That's going to be the distance that we have between these areas here. This unit's designed to fit your standard 14- by 14-inch opening in the ceiling or roof. When it's fully installed, and the lid's in the closed position, this unit's going to extend above our roof by about 4-1/2 inches. When that dome is fully open, that's going to extend about 11-1/2 inches above our roof. A few measurements to go over with you real quick. I told you this will fit your standard 14- by 14-inch opening. We can take a measurement from this point here to this point here. That's going to measure 13-3/4 of an inch, so that's about the size opening that we need for a nice, tight fit. From outer edge to outer edge, that's going to give us a measurement of about 16-1/4. Then the mounting holes for that interior trim piece; those are going to be separated on center about 15-1/16th of an inch. Again, all your mounting hardware is included. When it comes to the fan capacity on high, the standard cubic feet per minute airflow, so the SCFM is 920 on high, 653 on medium, 478 on low. When it comes to the power draw, rated at 12 volts, on high 3 amps, medium 2.29 amps, and low 1.86 amps. To replace your old vent, all you've got to do is install this vent into the existing opening in your roof. If your roof does not already have a vent, you will need to mark and cut an opening between the roof joists to get this installed, but again your hardware is included. That's going to do it for today's review of part number FV802250. This is the Fan-Tastic Vent roof vent with a 12-volt fan and built-in thermostat.

Thermostat-controlled roof vent uses a variable-speed, reversible, 12-volt fan to push stale air out of and pull fresh air into your RV, camper, or enclosed trailer. Easy-to-use hand knob on vent housing allows you to lift and lower dome.As always, you have a great price and prompt service. I am replacing the fan in my bathroom. The motorhome already has one of these in the front and in the rear bedroom.... but they installed a CHEAP and noisy fan unit in the bathroom. Upon returning from the mountains, I noticed debris on the toilet. When I looked up, the cover was completely cracked. I thought that maybe I had hit a tree limb or something. I was just going to replace the cover. When I saw the poor quality of the entire fan assembly, I thought that this is the perfect time to replace the entire unit. The other two units have worked great. They draw and circulate air through the whole MH. Great products. 290554
Ordering was effortless and was able to get stuff to carry ebike, hitch plus the bike rack plus stuff for the RV all in one order. The hitch went on effortlessly with your addition of the cables to thread the bolts through the frame. Only took us 10 minutes longer than the video said and we didn't have the Explorer on a rack. The hitch went together fine and it is heavy. My wife can load the 75lb bike without me. Hooray!!! Now I just have to install the light and fan in the RV. Thanks etrailer. Great experience so far. 486546
I love my new fan! It is great for keeping fresh air circulation in my truck camper. I live in my camper full time so it is getting used regularly and I just can’t say enough good things about it. Installation was a snap. I actually did it up in the mountains. The night before, it rained hard all night and I experienced several leaks that night. Next morning I installed the new fan and of course stopped the leaks. I highly recommend it. 575109
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. 405792
my Fantastic Fan is working GREAT! We installed it in a 15 pass van converted to a camper with 24 raised top. The van is very well insulated all around with interior curtains as well. The thermostat works great still. I describe it as equivalent to being in a shaded gazebo. We are quite comfortable leaving our dog in the van for any length of time parked in full sun as long as she has appropriate water and food supply. She always seem quite fine and happy on our return. Quiet enough to leave on during hot night. Thermostat will turn it off when it cools suffeciently. Very happy with unit.
JWMoore - 07/21/2018Fan has worked great, pulls 2 times the air of the orginal 6 inch piece of garbage 726066
Very pleased with unit. Works great 692747
The fan is fairly quiet on high. Very smooth operation and moves a good amount of air. I am very happy with the purchase. Installation was easy and it seems well made. 683847
The fan blades were what I expected....had to drill shaft hole a bit bigger (0.116") and cut plastic mounting shaft shorter by 0.161", but they work perfectly now with old long motor. Tomorrow I tackle installing the new fantastic fan. I am very impressed with etrailer's service!! Thanks, I need as much time to get stuff done as possible!. I 682977
Runs great. Easy to install and looks like the original. 670233
Should be standard equipement on every R.V. Simple to install. 619384
fan is working great 616253
I haven't installed the vent yet, but it looks to be great quality. It was delivered in just a few days. Great job! 614998
Excellent fan. 3 speeds, blows in or out. Quiet and cleans out smells after driving, very quickly. Happy, Happy, Happy! 613234
Quieter and more effective than the original. We use it as an 'attic fan' in milder weather or when cooling down the RV. It shuts itself off when the Colorado evenings cool quickly. 584013
This is a well made USA product that I am proud to own. The install went very smoothly. I like dealing with Etrailer. 571311
Good product 569300
Not too happy with the product, we installed the fan approx 9 months ago and soon after with only minimal use the black plastic knob that opens the lid stripped and now I have to use a phillips screw driver to open and close the lid until I get a replacement part. 569221
Works great, easy install. 568052
Delivered on time. Just what we needed. Thanks for the fine service. 565520
works great. Scared me once when it would not go on but after some checks found the temperature switch was set to hot so no fan cause it was cool out and I was going for air flow to stop condensation. 527133
The fan itself works really well....but they have a consistent problem. Had it with my last fan and hear other people complaining about the same issue. When you go down the road the screw that holds the crank handle vibrates loose and the crank handle and screw fall to the floor. I lost the screw on a long trip and had to stop at an rv dealer for a replacement. Sounds trivial but its a dumb little problem they need to fix. Otherwise the rating would be 5* 521301
Great Place to get your rv needs taken care of. The crew here take care of there COUSTOMERS 518672
These are great fans. They aren’t super quiet but they do move a good amount of air, enough that you can pull in a hybrid tent pop-out by closing all the windows and turning on the fan. The directions for installation were fairly simplistic and could be more detailed, so I watched a video on YouTube. The hardest part was getting the old fan off since it was glued down and running electric from a nearby light. I also had to cut down the inside trim to fit our thin truck camper roof. All in it took maybe 4 hours to install. I used eternabond over the screws. It’s amazing stuff! 487219
Last project built. Used etrailer for almost all parts, including roof vent and so on. Friend wants one now so started another one. I will be getting all the parts from etrailer... 486393
Just what I was looking for. Shipped qu ickly! 482365
The product has exceeded expectations. It is very quiet does not draw a lot of power and moves a lot of air through the coach. 480671
Purchased Fantastic vent fan 2250. Lower price than other retailers and quick delivery with no sales tax, very happy 476245
Great vent, powerful, quiet fan. Definitely the one to get. A little spendy, though. 447778
Excellent service arrived fast. putting it in next. Thanks for your help. 444900
Great fan easy to install quiet 406483
This is my seconed fantastic fan purchase as I move out from My.camper van to the enclosed trailer 6 x 9 conversion that I am now working out. The service, quick delivery and excellent quality product makes me a return customer. Definitely wanrants five stars. 384340
Very happy with the Fantastic roof vent. Installed easily. 371860

very easy to order , great prices, arrived in no time at all!! 351404
I really appreciate you folks! The fans are excellent, just like the service I have received from etrailer.com. If you folks have it, this is where I will get it. Pure and simple. cliff s. 348770
Shipped fast, everything was great 347488
Looks well built, have not installed it yet but I think with this unit I will be happy. Not real cheap but would rather buy once and not 3 times. 303141
Purchased the unit for a teardrop. Looks solid and installation was not difficult at all. We haven't camped in it yet since I installed the fan but I doubt we'd be able to sleep while it's running (not sure if we'd ever want to) because even in low speed there is quite some airflow noise and in our teardrop the fan is only 4 feet away from our heads. At this point I am planning on using it for pre-cooling the cabin before we crawl in, and the thermostat should be great for that. 299521
This unit is a real piece of equipment. Fan is fairly quiet and throws enough air to almost blow your hat off! Cant wait to install and get a breeze in my camper! The bearings on the fan are high quality and the motor actually weighs what a real one should. 285516
These Fan-Tastic Vents are great. Cools the RV down in no time at all. Easy installation. 269776
Fan-tastic vent arrived in excellent condition. Our experience with ETRAILER has always resulted in great service, the orders are always shipped expeditiously and we’ve never had any problems. That’s why we’re repeat customers. 236890
Our Fantastic vent is coming up on a year old and still going strong. Installation was a “breeze”. We are very happy with the product.
Carole W - 02/02/2017Just happened to get to take advantage of a free shipping offer and it worked out well. Fast shipping and good pricing. Only thing I would have liked more would have been if they would have recommended putty tape and caulk for the install of the vents. If they had, I probably would have been a buyer of them as well. Anyway, I have heard a lot of good reports on etrailer and with this order, I wasn't let down in any way. Mike 218287
