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.
Ceiling Vent and Fan with Thermostat
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.
Installation
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.

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.

It's shocking to me how expensive a few pieces of cheap plastic are. It also came DOA. I used my very meager electrical skills to figure out that there was something wrong with the fuse assembly. I couldn't even get into it at first. The cap wouldn't release, and I ended up pulling the whole thing out of its mounting and ripping one of the wire connectors off its connection. I worked harder at it, and the cap came off, leaving the fuse and the metal fuse housing lodged in the tube. I ended up breaking the glass of the fuse trying to get it out. I've never seen such a simple thing work so poorly. I'm a moron when it comes to electrical stuff, but even I have easily and successfully replaced every fuse I have ever blown.
After a trip to the auto parts store, the thing is finally working and installed. I played with the fuse to see if it would come out easier the second time, and it will not. If I blow the fuse, I'm going to have to break into it - literally - to replace it.
An important note about the thermostat that no one seemed to mention in any of the reviews I read: it is very obviously aimed at a higher temperature range than I would have expected. Room temperature is deep, deep down in the blue zone of the knob. It's about 85% of the way from hot to cold. 85 degrees is about midway. I can't test how low the coldest trigger point is (it's summer when I'm writing this review), but I suspect that it is somewhere around 70. That will be fine for most people, but it not ideal for me. I tend to set the heat around 55-60, and it would have been nice if the vent could have come on at a lower temperature. Closed-up trailers sitting in the desert sun heat up quickly in the morning, especially in the spring and fall. I tend to wake up when the trailer gets too hot in the morning, not really when I'm done sleeping.
Otherwise, I would say that my experience mimics those of most other reviewers. It is way better than the complete piece of garbage that came with my cheap travel trailer. It's sort of quiet on the low setting, but nowhere as quiet as it could be if it were made from higher quality components. On high, venting out, it definitely draws in a nice breeze, especially if you only have one window open. It will definitely help when I camp in full sun without tree cover, which is mostly what I do.
I wish I could have found a better fan, with a thermostat, priced more reasonably, but I don't think it exists. So, at the end of the day, I am mostly happy with my purchase.1052115
Comments
After a year, about the only thing that I would add to my review is that the thermostat adjuster knob is a bit more logarithmic than I expected. That is to say, the bottom end of the range is down in the mid- to low-60s Fahrenheit. So, it came as a pleasant surprise that I could set it at 65F. Once I got the fan working and installed, I have been happy with it.

On previous RV, had Fantastic Fan with auto rain lid closure. Worked great until motor/gear system plastic mounts broke. Replacement motor system never worked well. Simplest system that should keep rain out 99% of the time is a Fantastic Fan with thermostat and a Maxxair Fanmate vent cover. All comments I saw indicate that the pair work well together at allowing air to flow efficiently and keeping rain out. We love it.1363624
by: Larry V09/30/2022
Works great. Relatively easy install, the hard part was removing the old fan. Improves airflow in trailer and frequently allows cool airflow without the need for A/C. Also helps keep air moving when cooking, removing smoke, cooking odors, and helps prevent false smoke alarms.1431264

Wow am I disappointed. This is the 5th Fantastic Fan I've installed, 3rd in my rv and 2 in a friend's. I installed it over the bed and the past few days are the first time I've wanted to use it. The fan squeeks so loud the I can't run it at night. I've been very pleased with the brand in the past, but this one is a permanently mounted useless vent. I will have to replace it, so I am looking for alternative brands. What changed?1310907

You mentioned that the fan is squeaking and is not useable. I did reach out to the manufacturer for a solution and they advised that the motor will have to replaced. We do carry the replacement fan motor kit, it is part # FVK8017-00 Replacement Fan Motor Assembly Kit for Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent Fans $53.47.

Easy replacement of my original almost worthless exhaust only bathroom vent. Very pleased with how powerful it is for both intake and exhaust. It is much more quiet on the highest setting than the original one speed fan. Air is not reflected back into the camper since the fan takes up all the space. Great order, speedy deliver and knowledgeable efficient staff. etrailer is still nailing it. Keep it up and don't slide into the bad habits of other companies that over promise and under deliver.1319034

This fan has a lot of power to suck out the air in the trailer compared to my old fan. The old fan covered about 1/4 of the vent. This fan 100% of the vent opening is covered by the fan blades and has drawing power to remove stale air, hot air and humidity, plus it has a temp switch.1342380

On the cover, the screws connecting it to the linkage to raise & lower the cover broke off the plastic they were connected to. On our 1st trip & after maybe 3 or 4 uses this happened. I"ll be ordering a replacement cover soon. I don't know--maybe wind is responsible. Otherwise, an excellent product. And was easy to install after removing the original, cheap one.1298082

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
Only recommendation is to keep the sensor's push pin clean,that activates fan when opening vent. Dirt/sand will build up and prevent fan motor operating. Darn blowing sand in the deserts!1286142

The Fan-tastic vent roof fan arrived much sooner than expected. When I opened the box to inspect the fan every thing looked very nice. It will probably 8 weeks/ early May when the weather is nicer before I install the fan. It will be a nice improvement for the trailer.1269483
by: Anthony05/15/2022
So far this fan has been an upgrade over the previous competing brand it replaced. It is quieter, if a bit less powerful. It's not my first Fan-Tastic RV van and it won't be the last.1298467

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
It's alright. We had order a deeper trim piece because the one that came with the unit was not the right depth, it was too shallow.1380373

Great service!! I had to add something to my online order and had to call eTrailer. Terri N was VERY helpful. My revised order was received 5 day’s earlier than expected.1290725

This is a great, simple, fan, though not quite quiet enough for a teardrop build. Even on the lowest setting it is pretty loud and my wife declared it to be too loud for our trailer. We ended up sending this one back and spending more on the remote controlled one with something like 11 speeds. It is much, much quieter on the lowest setting and is currently on our build. I really loved the simplicity of this fan, but noise was a factor in our decision and this one is just a bit too loud.802358

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

Second one I have purchased. One for my horse trailer and one for my RV. Did not want any other gadgets to contend with, like remotes, so chose the manual lift vent fan.1133328

Just 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. Mike218287

Hey Mike, my name is Cole. I work at etrailer.com on the video team. I just wanted to say thanks for the great advice! We are always looking for ways to improve what we do, and your input helps us with that. Thanks again!
I spoke with our shop manager and he said that you could install Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent # FV802250 on a 1/4 inch thick roof but you will have to cut the included garnish way down.
The fan draws just under 4 amps. It is fused at 4 amps. At low and medium speeds it isn't drawing much less power than on the highest setting. The exact amount is not a figure that is available. view full answer...
The minimum roof thickness that the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent part # FV802250 can be installed on is 1-1/2". However, since you are only 1/8" of an inch off of the manufacturer's specification you could more than likely trim the supplied garnish or add a bit of weather stripping around the flange in order to achieve the 1-3/8" thickness on your roof.
I have attached a review video for you as well. view full answer...
The Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent # FV802250 is designed to fit 14 inch roof vent openings like what are found on most trailer roofs. It would pretty easily fit to replace yours but you'll need to find a 12 volt power source for it.
We don't have access to wiring schematics but you'll need to find a way get 12 volts back to it through existing wiring. view full answer...
I am not sure any of our fans are rated for use in removing biohazard waste fumes, but a powered roof vent like the # FV802250 would work well for removing air at a decent rate. The can can move 920 cubic feet of air so it works does a great job.
I attached a review video for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan part # FV802250 is capable of moving up to 920 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) at its highest setting. It also has two other settings with reduced cubic feet per minute ratings.
The vent will fit most RV's and campers with roofs up to 4" thick. The vent has an included 2 year warranty and the dome lid has a limited lifetime warranty. view full answer...
The trailer roof vent I recommend is the Fan-Tastic Vent # FV802250. When closed, it extends merely 4-1/2" above your roof. The fan has a 12V motor and it will fit trailers with roofs that are up to 4" thick, requiring only a 14-1/2" x 14-1/2" opening.
I've left a video review of this product for you to take a look at. view full answer...
You will have to manually turn the fan of the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # FV802250 off after closing the lid of the roof vent. view full answer...
The Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # FV802250 referenced in your question will work nicely to replace the AC unit on your trailer. It is designed (like most RV vents) to fit a 14-1/4 inch x 14-1/4 inch rough opening, but will work just fine on your 14-1/2 inch opening. The 4-1/2 inch garnish that's included can also be trimmed down to better fit your 1-3/4 inch thick ceiling.

There are components of the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # FV802250 that are metal like the linkage that holds the lid open, the motor, and various fasteners that hold it all together.
If you have a 14 by 14 inch hole in the roof of your 2015 Camplite 21 RBS this fan will work well for you as it is designed for exactly that. view full answer...
The Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent, part # FV802250, is only available with a smoke-colored lid. The lid does block some sunlight but its main purpose is UV protection while still allowing in light. view full answer...
Yes, you can trim down the garnish of the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent # FV802250 if you have a thinner roof and need the garnish to match it properly. view full answer...
To remove the fan blade of a Fan Tastic Roof Vent # FV802250 you will need to first remove the screen on the underside. You will want to then remove the vent cover lid from the outside of the trailer as well.
There are four screws from the top of the cover that hold the blade and motor to the top of the vent housing. You will be able to remove the motor and blade at this point.
There is then an allen wrench screw sized 3/32 inch that will need to be loosened on the shaft of the fan that... view full answer...
The Fan-Tastic Vent part # FV802250 would work well as a replacement to the Ventline powered roof vent that you have. It also uses 2 wires for operation so it would just be a matter of wiring the new fan to the old wiring.
This will also fit the same size opening as your current vent. view full answer...
Yes, if you wanted to reverse the air flow of the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent # FV802250 all you would need to do is reverse the polarity of the wiring. This would have the air blow into the trailer instead of out. view full answer...
It sounds like you have not had much luck with the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent you have on your Arctic Fox. Instead of replacing the circuit board again there may be an issue with the wiring that is causing the circuit board to fail. I would check to make sure all of the wiring is secure and not shorting out and causing the issue.
If you are unable to find the source of the problem you may want to just replace the fan. I have attached a link to our product page for Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vents... view full answer...
The garnish that is included with the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent, part # FV802250 measures 4-1/2 inches tall.
This fan has a smoke-colored polyethylene dome that helps filter UV rays and still allow light in. The fan has mounting hardware included and is designed to fit rough openings 14-1/4 x 14-1/4 inches. view full answer...
I went to the warehouse and checked out the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, part # FV802250.
The fan motor on the vent has a 3-amp draw. This fan is designed to fit roofs that are up to 4-inches thick and the rough opening size you need for this vent is 14-1/4 inches x 14-1/4 inches. view full answer...
Rough cut openings for roof vents have a bit of wiggle room on the dimension. Between 14 inch and 14-1/4 inch would work well with the Fan-Tastic roof vent part # FV802250. view full answer...
You'll need to measure your current vent to know exactly what you need. Most vents are approximately 14 by 14 inches. You'll want to measure the vent itself not the cover.

The roof vents like the Fan-Tastic Roof Vent part # FV802250 all install about the same. We don't have any install info specific to this vent available, but I did attach two videos that show similar roof vents being installed.

The specific screw you're needing to hold the fan blade to the motor shaft on your older model Create-A-Breeze Fan is no longer available. You might be able to find some replacement hardware from an online re-seller, but the screw itself isn't produced anymore.
Your best option at this point is really to replace the fan assembly itself. For this the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent # FV802250 will work really nicely. It fits a rough opening size of 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" and features a variable-speed... view full answer...
When the Fan-Tastic # FV802250 is in 'auto' mode, the fan speed cannot be controlled with the fan speed switch. The fan pulls 3-1/2 amps on high speed, so the 5 amp 12-volt power supply you mentioned would be perfect.
