Question:

I purchased a ventline fan/vent with powered lid. Do you have detailed wiring instructions available? Do I need a rocker switch for the powered lid or will a regular on/off switch work? Thanks

Expert Reply:

You can utilize a power wall remote switch # VC0533-03-A or # VC0533-02-A (black or white). A rocker switch # BL0108-00 will work and you will need 2 of them.

The installation kit # 344270KITW will come with screws, tape, and sealant. You will also need primary 16 gauge wire # DW02359-1 as well as a ceiling garnish # VA0445-35

I have attached a picture of wiring instructions for you as well.

Installation Instructions for the Ventline Ventadome Roof Vent # V2119-601-00.

1.Mark desired location for vent. Be sure to choose a location between roof joists.
2.Cut a 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" opening through roof and ceiling. (Or use existing opening if you're replacing a standard 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" vent.)
3.Apply sealant to bottom of flange. Be sure to surround each screw hole.
4.Insert vent through hole with screen frame extending through roof cavity and hinge of vent toward the front of the vehicle.
5.Mount to roof with # 8 screws.
6.Remove screen frame to make electrical connections.
7.Connect to 12-volt DC power source.
8.Replace screen frame.
9.Attach interior garnish piece # VA0445-35 (sold separately) with # 8 screws.

I have this same exhaust fan in my 2017 Jayco Eagle fifth wheel, The lift and fan both don't work, I checked for blown fuse, not an issue, the rest of the bathroom 12 VDC lights on same circuit work fine. I have 12 VDC coming in according to your wiring diagram to the fan switch. I replaced the switch plate but still no fan or power lift, I suspect a bad (-) white connection to Chassie ground, it's hard to trace the wires back to the Chassie. Any ideas how I could troubleshoot this? Thanks, Dave G

@DaveG Do you have any metal framing nearby you could tap into just to see if the ground is an issue? If not you could just connect another length of wire to the ground wire and run to decent ground somewhere else to see if that really is the issue. Are you getting power past the switch at the motors? If not, then it could be that the both the lift and fan motors both went bad. Have you had any power surges lately? Is anything else electronic not working in your trailer? If the motors are both bad then you can replace them with the following: Lift # BVB0601-00 Fan # BVD0218-00 If the motors are fine then I would then check the gears to see if maybe some teeth have broken off and not allowing the lid to lift or fan blade to spin. Fan Blade # BVD0215-00 Lift Gear # BVD0121-00
