Video Transcript for Review of Fantastic Vent RV Vent and Fan Parts - Lift Arm Assembly - FVK8011-05
Ellen: Hey everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at the replacement lift arm for Fantastic Vent Roof Vents. And this is just going to replace the lift arm for your Fantastic Roof Vent. And basically this component, just as the name suggests, lifts that vent up or down. So as that little catch on the bottom turns, it lowers the vent, and then raises it back up.
Does come pre-lubed, so there's some grease inside there to help that move smoothly, and also help prevent any kind of rusting and corrosion inside those gears.We do have the mounting hardware to get this installed onto our vent. So it's a pretty easy way to replace that one component if everything else is working properly. And I will say, if you have any other issues with your roof vent, like the cover is cracked or maybe the motor's bad, or something else as an issue, it might be a good idea to just invest in a whole new system. But if everything is working properly, and it's just the lift arm that got damaged somewhere along the way, this is going to get you back out on the road and operating that fan or that roof vent easily. I'm going to give you some measurements just for reference to make sure that this is going to be the right one for you.So the distance between those mounting holes, center to center is about three inches, right on.
And then the distance for that lift arm itself from that little pivot point on the end, to where it attaches in, and that pivot point at the bottom, it's about six and a quarter inches long. So that might give you an idea if this is going to be the right one for you. The depth of this component here is going to be about an inch and three quarters. Or an inch and three quarters from there to there. That's going to do it for our look at the replacement lift arm for the Fantastic Vent Roof Vent..

Replaces the lift arm for your Dometic FanTastic roof vent.by: Wesley 03/06/2024
The replacement part was a perfect match. I thought the included direction sheet could have been better. I was able to replace the part from the inside of the trailer without having to go on the roof. Big plus! Patience is the key. Thanks to your staff for all of the help.

etrailer had the part I needed to repair my Fan-Tastic vent and it arrived quickly. I've also bought hitches and wiring kits from them in the past. I highly recommend this company!!
by: Darlene 07/21/2023
We have owned our motorhome for 20 years. It came with two fantastic fans. They have been GREAT fans and anytime we every had any issue with them they would send parts, no questions asked. It's been a stellar products and GREAT service from the company. We would HIGHLY recommend them.

From ordering to delivery, etrailer made the process simple and streamlined. Thought I would have trouble finding this part for my 1995 Roadtrek Fantastic roof vent. In less than 2 weeks from looking I now have a fully functioning vent which I installed myself with the help of an instructable video they provided! Very pleased with the service and product! Thanks etrailer!
by: Randy 01/12/2024
Like i said in my other review. Very happy that it replaces my original parts.and the quality is perfect and i am very happy. I will send a photo as soon as the weather lits me get on my roof.

Looks a lot better than original. Can not find screws but not a problem
by: Kathy B04/29/2020
Perfect fit her your video that was available for viewing. Received my products in a timely manner. Fair prici g. Existing lift arms were worn-out the crank handle no longer would lift the vent lid. No need to spend the money to replace the whole vent assembly when you can buy the parts and do it yourself. Saved a lot of money by doing my research. I couldn't be happier.
by: George 11/03/2023
Arms were a perfect fit and the instructions were simple. less than and hour to install and the parts tech, Phillip H, was very helpful and knowledgeable.
by: Randy 05/30/2023
etrailer always carries quality parts
replacing this part ahead of wearing out when replacing the 2nd motor in vent.
please keep in mind this fan-tastic vent is designed for light duty not living in a motorhome fulltime.

Item arrived quickly. The shank was a little too long so my husband had to modify the slot to make the shank fit. Seems to be working great.

by: Jay 09/23/2023
Worked perfect. Future customers need to be sure to check the orientation of the arm to make sure it works for them.

This replacement lift arm, was to replace the broken unit in our RV's Fan-Tastic roof vent, located in the bath. First I want to say, the unit in our bath is not the heavy duty unit with electric motor that drives the lift arm, but rather the lighter duty manual version. I ordered this arm because it is of better quality than the one that originally came in the vent. It should be noted that the little wheel at the end of the arm is on the wrong side for the manual vent, but it installed easily and the vent functions as it should. I am very happy with the function and construction of this new lift arm assembly.

Exactly as it should. Have had no further issues with the vent since installing this replacement arm.
by: Gary07/17/2022
The wheel on the end of the lift arm was on the wrong side. The part doesn’t fit my manual operated Fantastic Fan. I had to drill out the stud holding the wheel, move it to the other side, and reattach with a nut and bolt. What should have been a 15 minute replacement job took nearly 2 hours. In the end I got it to work. Pay close attention to which side the wheel is on on your particular unit. I did not and paid for it.

I received my lift control arm in the mail and took it directly to our camper and installed it. It fit perfect and I had the vent back in working condition in less than 30 minutes. This was a well built, quality unit that I am very pleased with. If I ever have any more lift arms break I plan on replacing them with these fine units. Shipping was fast and ordering the unit was fast and simple.

- Troubleshooting Lift Motor Issues With A Fan-Tastic Fan RV Vent Model 4100Hey Randy, It is definitely possible that with the replacement of the lift motor to part # FVK6010-80 that it wasn't tightened up exactly the same as the previous motor, causing the gears to not engage. You'd have to take a look at the mounting bracket and see if maybe it's bent or if you could potentially bend it (if metal) a bit closer for the gears to lock together. Replacing the lift arm # FVK8011-05 might also be the solution here if it's been worn down a bit.

If so then it will need to be replaced for which we have part # FVK8011-05 if you have a dome lid or part 8014-05 if you have a flat lid.
