Thanks. I plan to add another near our shower as well for reasons you stated but also I could have one fan pushing air out and the other pulling it in. Figure it would really get some nice flow in the trailer. Cheers Ray

Thanks, I used to have Vent Mate covers, actually came with the RV, here on Vancouver Island it rains a lot everyone has covers. I replaced them with Fantastic Vents, they are larger and give more air flow for the fans. amzn.to/30x7Ub2 Cheers, Ray

@@LoveYourRV Thanks for the info Ray. I've not seen a vent that large.

No leaks, the seal looks fine and since then I've done all my vents - www.loveyourrv.com/rv-roof-repair-eternabond-review/ Cheers, Ray

All three of my vent lids have the open side facing to the rear, most do, if you look at the vent covers they slope towards the front and are high on the back www.amazon.com/dp/B007HGF398?ref=exp_loveyourrv_dp_vv_d

Allen Hare Your welcome Allen. I'm really liking the fan, works great for cooking too, on the high speed it really sucks out the cooking odors and steam from boiling things. We have vent covers on all our roof vents, for the Fantastic fan I got their own cover. It was a little more money but has great air flow and is really easy to take on and off. Cheers Ray

Love Your RV 10-4, thanks again.

Ray Whyte Thanks, Yipes, that's cold, I better stop complaining about the heat. :)

The Kelly Corner Thanks!

At some point the company was sold and bought up by a bigger one. I think Atwood or Dometic. They did away with the lifetime warranty and I guess cheapened the product. I installed this one in 2014

​@@LoveYourRVYep, Dometic bought them. And according to one of the guys in tech support Dometic did not do their due diligence and have ended up with an inferior product. I don't think Dometic really cares. When I had the fan replaced the guys on site knew nothing about the fan and were referring to the manual. They had never changed one over before.

The original company provided a lifetime warranty and would ship out free repair parts if needed. They built up an excellent reputation in the RV community for their product and excellent customer service. From what I gathered around 2013 Atwood bought the little company that was Fan-Tastic Fans. Then Dometic bought Atwood at some point and rebranded Atwood stuff as Dometic.

@@LoveYourRV Ahhhhhh, very interesting. I didn't know that background. It would have been a good fan back then. It is such a shame when a new company lets a product fail apart like that, especially for such an expensive fan. It is $450 to $550 AUD here.

I upgraded the bathroom fan to a Hengs, will have to see how it performs long term. Since I bought the single speed and it was way too powerful, I added a variable PWM speed control to make it work a little better. www.loveyourrv.com/rv-bathroom-fan-upgrade-hengs-vortex/ Cheers, Ray

Ray J Thanks, I just picked one up yesterday. I was looking at putting my old Ventmate cover back on but that would take some modifications, drilling holes, etc and heard that air flow wouldn't be as good so got the Fantastic one. It looks larger and has lot bigger vent holes. Should do the trick. We spend six months of the year on the west coast of Canada so definitely need a rain cover. :)

Cool!

Charles Cain Cool idea :) Thanks!

Many RV circuits use black for the positive 12 volt DC and white for the negative DC ground wire. I guess its a reference to the AC hot and neutral wires. Can get very confusing, so I find its always best to use a multimeter and check.

@@LoveYourRV I never seen it and it would be miss identifying because we all know it's different type of wiring and can easily misswire and cause a fire

Teri Genteman I would recommend the remote if you aren't tall enough to reach. I can just reach it without a stool so it's not a problem for me, but I can see it getting old soon if you need a stool every time to adjust it. Happy camping! Ray

Should work. Any heat you can get out of the attic or moisture will help. Friend of mine added some to his trailer, not solar powered but work - www.loveyourrv.com/howto-install-an-rv-attic-roof-vent-tip/

Gordon Cindy It's the Thousand Trails park on Palm Springs. It's nice with all the date palms over head, has a good pool as well. - www.thousandtrails.com/california/palm-springs-rv-resort/

If I remember it was around $180 back then amzn.to/2EfTDCW

I didn't have to do anything it's all built into the fan assembly. I only needed to hook up the 12 volt positive and negative wires.

the reason for my question was based on the fact the old fantastic fan model#803350/3350 new number had a wall mounted thermostat with (2 orange wires) from the fans circuit board!! the 1250 model does not come with a thermostat and I basically left the (2 orange wires unconnected) I have discovered a short somewhere in the circuit and was wondering if the (2 orange wires needed to be connected somehow-even if there is no thermostat in the fantastic model 1250; I ,m trying to figure out if the (2 orange wires) should be in some way connected or if not "what do you do with the (2 orange wires) I have no clue at this point; thank,s for your timely response; say hello! to your beagle- very cute doggie!! PATRICK.P

I would just tape off the orange wires and leave them since the new 1250 model doesn't appear to me to use them. Just has a 12VDC power and 12VDC negative ground wire.

THANK,S RAY APPRECIATE THE ADVICE!! ONCE AGAIN SAY "HI" TO BEAGLE; PATRICK.P

Wow, that sucks! Voiding a whole roof warranty because you change a roof vent. Ridiculous! Many Keystone rigs come with Fantastic Fans. Very crappy on Keystone's part. I hope they don't void your electrical warranty since you will be modifying a circuit to it to add your Vortex II fan.

Yes, I used the tape BECAUSE I'm so paranoid of leaks. Eternabond tape can go right over Dicor as long as you clean the old Dicor really well. Also, I used 4" tape so there area on both sides where the tape adheres beyond the old Dicor. In my mind, Eternabond is superior to Dicor and the constant need to remove and replace it as it dries out and cracks. My vent's been there a few years now and the seal is as good as the day I laid down. The instructions state the closed cell foam gasket is for under the flange where is meets the roof.

If you are going to replace a skylight or vent that has been sealed with EternaBond®, and after replacing the skylight or vent are going to reseal it with EternaBond®, you can simply:Cut through the old EternaBond® tape along the edge of the old skylight or vent.Remove the screws holding it down.When you lift the old skylight or vent off, half of the EternaBond® will be on the flange of the skylight or vent, and half will still be on the roof.When you install the new skylight or vent, simply screw it down and?Put a new piece of EternaBond® over the first in the same place.OR?Second, if you have determined the EternaBond® must be removed, follow these instructions:Using a heat gun or a hair drier, heat up 2-4" of the tape on one end.Grab a corner of the tape and pull on it. The sealant should stretch like pizza cheese.As you are pulling on the tape, cut the stretched EternaBond® with a razor blade, keeping it wet with water.At this point some of the residual gray EternaBond® MicroSealant® will still be on the roof. Work it off using a strong solvent like lacquer thinner, acetone, or gasoline, and some elbow grease, or...Leave the residue in place. It will not hurt anything, and if you put new EternaBond® over the old, the new MicroSealant® will absorb the old MicroSealant®

Not too hard to get the eternabond tape off actually. It's the residue it leaves behind that is a nightmare to remove. You're better off getting a new roof. However if you need to re-install a fan you can just eternabond right over the existing eternabond tape (or eternabond residue) without issue.
