Can a Fan Be Added to the Camco RV Roof Vent Without Having to Upgrade the Unit?

Question

Question:

I think I have this vent on my trailer and its not broken so I dont want to remove it, but I would like to have a fan. Is there a way to modify a vent like this by combining it with parts from another vent? Thanks.

If you do in fact have the Camco RV or Trailer Roof Vent # CAM40480 then you're unfortunately out of luck as there is not an option to add a fan.

However, if you have the similar looking Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent # V2092SP-28, then you can add a fan with the Replacement 12V DC Motor for Ventline, Ventadome, and Vanair Fans # BVD0218-00 & the Replacement Fan Blade for Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vents # BVD0215-00.

You should be able to find a part number or manufacturer stamped or on a sticker somewhere on the roof vent itself that should help narrow this down.
