  • Replacement Fairing for Curt C18115 Roof Cargo Basket
  • The closest alternative we offer for the # C18115-FAR replacement fairing would be the Rhino Rack # RRRF3 which is 44 inches long as opposed to the Curt # C18115-FAR which is 1 inch longer. The problem you'll run into by attempting to use a different fairing is that the mounting holes won't line up. I'd recommend going with the fairing that was designed for use with your basket, the # C18115-FAR.

  • Solution for Replacement Thermostat on Older Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent
  • According to my contact at Dometic, that thermostat is no longer available as a replacement part. Unfortunately, this means the only solution is to replace the entire fan. I recommend the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent # FV803350. This has 3 manual speeds, a rain sensor, powered arm, and a thermostat. If you would like to have a remote we also have the # FV807350. This has the same features as the other fan but adds the digital remote as well as 13 speeds.

  • Keyed Alike Flush Mount Locking Door Latches
  • I called my contact at Redline, and they told me that they use the same lock and key for their flush mount door latches. So you could order 4 of part # L1883 and they would all be keyed alike. If you need a larger latch, 4 of part # L3980 would also be keyed alike. Both of these flush mount locking door latches use the same key number.
