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
The screw holes for the metal slide are very week. The last ones broke from wind while closed. This new one I'm going to re in force with flex glue prior to installation. The design is obviously flawed,as this is the 3rd one of these that have failed. My 5th wheel is a 2018 Fox Mountain, so it's not that old.
"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.
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.
Second time I've ordered from etrailer.com, both experiences have been excellent!
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.’

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.
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.
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!
Exact replacement for the old one
Purchased this about a year ago. It works exactly as described and has held up very well for the first year. I also like the dark color as it matches the air conditioners on the roof of our fifth wheel
Easy to install. Love the fact current vent compatible with my 2002 vent.
Installation was very quick, using the screws from the broken previous dome. Replacement works just like the previous one (before it was broken, of course) -- thanks very much to Justin B. and everyone else at etrailer.com!
Exact replacement part, easy install! P erfect!!!!
The roof vent cover arrived promptly and in excellent shape. It fit perfectly.
Ordering my roof vent covers from etrailer was easy and efficient. My order was delivered to me in eastern Canada within a reasonable time and at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend etrailer for your RV parts needs.
Easiest repair I ever made on my 25-year old Tioga RV, after a severe rain/wind storm shattered the existing vent cover. Bolt off, bolt on - as advertised! Customer support, installment videos, and encouragement were awesome, ya'll totally delivered. Price and delivery fee were totally reasonable. Thank you so much!
It fit perfectly and took less than 15 minutes to replace the cover and crank.
worked great! be careful when mounting so that you don't interfere with the opening and closing of the automatic arms.
These vent covers are almost 'bullet-proof'. I ran into an object and was able to patch the pieces up up with Gorilla tape, but there was so much tape there was no light getting in!
Also purchased two lift arm assemblies. It seems no matter how careful you are with securing the cover, it will still find a way to vibrate and that 'tears-up' the teeth in the pot-iron product.
eTrailer has an excellent web site with detailed descriptions, photos, and measurements. Everything you need to make the right purchase the first time.
Ordering was straight forward, and delivery was as promised. The packaging was adequate, also.
A good source for your RV products! Thanks, Guys!
JIM L - 05/15/2021Product was better than the original that came with the Fan-Tastic vent installed on the travel trailer.
That said it was difficult to install it due to the problems with the original vent. As built it was a mess and the reason it was changed the latch would not stay latched in place and the upper lip was not sealing when the vent was closed. The vent cover came loose three times on the 3rd time it was double checked and after traveling 200 miles the vent cover came open and cracked.
Good product
Budley - 09/27/2018Poor quality and not very dark
Quality product. Easy replacement for your existing fan/vent.
This is the correct vent cover for the fantastic fan and it has a nice colour tint on it. You can’t find these in RV stores in our area so I’m glad we found it online.
Perfect replacement. Good fit and easy install
