Question:
We have a 2011 Winnebago Journey that needs a new vent fan lift motor. The model is 8100DM. Will either of the FVK6010-80 or 81 work? I noticed we might have to cross the wires for install since out fan is less than 17 rpm. Is this correct.

Hello Cathy, thanks for reaching out. Sadly, that 8100DM vent is an older model that has been discontinued by the manufacturer. We do not have any replacement parts for this vent, short of the Fan Motor Assembly Kit for Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent Fans, # FVK8017-00. I am sorry to say we do not offer a replacement lift motor for that vent. If the lift motor no longer works, the only option would be to replace the vent entirely with a new one. We have lots of option for that. Here are a few popular ones:
- MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, Thermostat, and Remote - Powered Lift - 10 Speed - Smoke # MA00-07500K
- MaxxAir MaxxFan Mini Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - Manual Lift - 4 Speed - Black # MA00-04401M
