Imagine being able to easily control the airflow in your RV, camper, or trailer, whether you're aiming to ventilate after cooking or simply circulate fresh air while you sleep. The Dometic FanTastic Roof Vent makes this possible with its variable-speed, reversible 12-volt fan system. Choose from three manual speeds to either boost or reduce airflow. Desiring automation? Rely on its smart thermostat-regulated settings, ensuring energy efficiency by activating only when your preset temperature is surpassed. All this is encased in a design that allows for manual operation too, providing a genuinely adaptable solution for your on-the-road ventilation needs.
Keep your RV interior cozy, no matter the season, with the FanTastic Roof Vent’s built-in thermostat. Gone are the days of manually adjusting settings to maintain comfort. This roof vent automatically senses room temperature and activates the fan as needed. You can even set it to ensure a comfy environment for pets while you're away. Just set your desired temperature and relax as the fan maintains your specified range, switching on only when required. It's perfect for those who want efficient climate control without the hassle.
Installing a roof vent in your RV shouldn’t be an uphill task. The FanTastic Roof Vent is designed for simplicity, fitting seamlessly into existing 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" roof openings. Whether you’re upgrading or replacing an older unit, this vent features a straightforward, two-wire hookup. Plus, with its Made in the USA promise, its build quality is something installers delight in, backed by simplicity and functionality.
Enjoy the natural light while keeping UV rays at bay, thanks to the smoke-colored polyethylene dome. With 10 clear fan blades, this roof vent not only ensures plenty of daylight indoors but also filters UV rays effectively. This design enhances the interior ambiance, providing a brighter yet shaded environment that’s ideal for reading or relaxation without harsh sun exposure.
Keep the bugs out with the FanTastic Roof Vent’s pop-out screen. It offers a straightforward solution to maintaining clean airflow by deterring insects while still allowing for easy airflow. What’s more, the screen can be effortlessly detached for cleaning, ensuring your vent stays efficient and hygienic throughout your travels.
Faced with windy conditions? The dome on this fan vent is built tough with durable smoke-colored polyethylene that withstands the elements without compromising function or appearance. Reinforced components like the fan’s robust linkage ensure that the lid stays securely in place, offering reliable protection and performance even in less favorable weather conditions.

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.
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.
Great product!
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...
Excellent unit, does what we require. Replacing really original units that were installed on my old Airstream
Perfect roof vent fan that should have been installed from the factory. Pulls plenty of air without a lot of noise with minimal battery draw. We use this when we shower, or as a fan to pull cool air in at night when sleeping. Good build quality.
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.

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.
I cannot recommend this product. It came with a crack in the fan blade assembly that results in severe vibration and noise when running. Neither Dometic nor Etrailer have been any help in providing a resolution. I can't even purchase the part I need without buying a full motor assembly, which I don't need, and which is going to cost $70. See pics. I have video as well but the page won't allow me to upload.

Hey Ed. That is not a good experience to have to go though. I am going to get this taken care of for you so you can get your fan back in working order without all the noise.
Work great. Would never own a trailer without these in every roof vent.
These fans are great!

Works great! Easy to install.
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.

Glad I put it in the trailer.
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. Mike

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!
This is the second Fantastic fan I have purchased to replace the two vent fans on an older Airstream trailer. Fit, form and function are perfect for my needs. Installation was easy and the fan works perfect.
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.
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!

Very good, even with the blowing dustsand in the desert.
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?

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.
Great price and had product in stock and very timely shipping. Thanks

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.
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.

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.
As described-east install a Rv replacem ent!
Overall, I like the fan-tastic fan I installed in my RAM Promaster camper van conversion project. Installation was very straightforward and it is pretty quiet and effective in operation. I didn't assign 5 stars, however, because of one shortcoming. Since there is only one arm that holds the lid down on one side, the closed lid has a tendency to lift a little bit and make noise at highway speeds. Of course, I installed it properly (opening to the rear), but at speeds above 65 mph or so it doesn't stay tightly closed and silent.
I had an identical fan in my former trailer. It probably did the same thing but of course we couldn't hear it in the tow vehicle. In a van, it is a different story. A better design would hold the lid tightly shut in all conditions.
GREAT FAN. WE HAD A FAN-TASTIC FAN IN OUR FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER THAT LASTED 20 YEARS, THE NEW FAN CAN PULL AIR IN OUR OUT OF YOUR RV, WERE AS THE OLD ONE WOULD ONLY PULL AIR OUT OF YOUR RV. THE NEW ONE IS GREAT.
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.
This is my second Fantastic Fan. I thought I'd try an amazon/China knockoff but sent it back as it had no thermostat and decided I want to by AMERICAN products for the most part when I can. I have had a FF in my Lance camper for ten years and it works great. Just put this new one in a Keystone trailer
I just bought. I expect the same reliability from this quality name.
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.
Do you have a question about this RV Vents and Fan?

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.
