Dometic FanTastic Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Remote - Powered Lift - 14-1/4" x 14-1/4"

I love the fan. I had a manual one in the trailer I purchased and I couldn't reach it without a stool. I am 75 and that wasn't going to work1725892

Installation was easy and a perfect fit for my 2021 Airstream 16RB (replacing a 3 speed Fan-Tastic unit). I like the speed range of this fan, and how quiet it is when set to 50% and lower, big improvement.

However, all the other features (rain sensor, temperature setting, reversible direction), not so impressed with. I don't like the fact the fan turns on at full speed every time I switch on the battery disconnect (applying 12v power). Why is this necessary? I also have a hard time determining which direction fan is pushing air (pulling air into the trailer does not produce strong air flow), and maybe the vent cover is preventing good air flow. It would be nice if there was an LED on the remote or unit to indicate direction (forward or reverse). I know that sounds silly, but I put my hand up to the unit and can't feel which direction the air is flowing, it's just moving around.

I ignored recommendations to go with a Max Air unit, and if I had it to do over, I would install a Max Air instead with built-in cover. I may even do that anyway just to have a better fan and cleaner look.1633917

Compared to the 2012 model fan I replaced, the range of the remote control is significantly shorter. I have literally been standing up under the new fan and holding my arm up for more than a year now to operate the new fan. Nope, it is not the batteries.1689304

This fan functions excellently. However, the plastic cover was damaged by the closing motor due to the amount of closing force. This occurred a few weeks after install as it had been being damaged with each open/close. I did not request a new cover realizing the same thing would happen so I modified the mounts for the closing mechanism and all is well. This all required removing the vent cover to correct.1682379

Delivery was Great. Fantastic Fan is a great product. My installation was easy and straight forward. The fan fit perfectly into my existing roof vent cut out. Really like the bi-directional air flow feature.
I would order this item from etrailer again if I ever needed to.1224101

Still working the same as new. We run the fan on low all night every night to help prevent condensation in our tralier. This is working well for us

We bought two of these a little over a year ago but have only been using them consistently for about 6 months or so. We are full-timers and have been through Florida in March, up the East Coast, and across to Ohio so far with these and couldn’t be happier. They are literally on all day and all night unless we’re in transit or it’s raining so they have gotten quite a workout already and they’re still working like new and are remarkably quiet (you can likely hear the traffic, breeze, and fiancé walking in the background of the video and the fan is on medium). Our only complaint is that the rain sensor can be a bit sensitive and likes to close with a heavy dew and tends to be reluctant to open back up immediately after a rain, but we’d MUCH rather it be overly sensitive than not sensitive enough and us get water in the camper! We also travel with two animals so having these fans has given us the confidence to leave them alone during warmer days without the fear of them overheating (we also have our camper well insulated, the awning providing shade, and a Wi-Fi thermometer constantly monitoring the temp so don’t worry, they are safe!). And even with both fans running almost constantly they don’t seem to draw much power which is essential for boondockers. Overall these fans are definitely on our top ten favorite purchases for our Airstream and we would buy them again without hesitation. HIGHLY recommend!!!1621503

I am a retired rv collision center owner with many years of rv extensive repair experience and, I always wanted to construct a slide in no cab over camper. My first concern was to be able to remove my camper on my own and be able to roll it off and on and have the ability to move it around in my RV barn to clean under it and be able to put it against any of my walls for storage. I discovered your name on the internet and compared your prices on name brand products to complete my build. I could have bought a fan for half of the cost of the fantastic fan but, there is no comparison to the quality of the fantastic fan I bought from you guys and got it almost instantly. I have also purchased a ceramic low profile rv stool that is a step above all the others that I looked at a great price as well.I’ve forward you the pics of where my project has recently stopped temporary because I just had cataract surgery. I can lift my camper off my truck and, spin it like a top and, roll it any direction and, now I’m prepared to go full steam ahead and, I need many more extensive list of components Electrical,plumbing,water,lighting,solar system and a wide array of misc. I’m building this camper for my own personal use but, I already have a person who is interested in buying it when I’m done so if your pricing stays as competitive as it has so far I see no need in opening a wholesale rv supply account. I’m hoping that you might have a solar panel person that I can touch base with give me information on the right and quality solar set up. Thank you Ted1336515

Love this fan. The thermostat control works great especially at night. I put it in the bedroom and having the ability to have it blow down on the bed is a game changer boondocking on a hot summer night. High quality, easy-to-use remote definitely worth the extra money for the additional features.1388098

After a year we still love it. We have 2 fans in our camper and running them both when we get to a spot to cool the camper down works great. It is a great option in the bedroom instead of a second air unit.

Poor design on dome. The dome lift mechanism screws into plastic that breaks resulting in a need for a new dome. Dometic did supply a new one this time.
Also, The decorative piece on the inside of the dome was too short. Had to buy a separate piece to fit in the ceiling of my motorhome. Next time MaxAir.1684558

They are great, Easy to install. 1745232

If you are replacing an old unit, do not cut trim ring to old dimension. It will end up too short. New fan flange is much shorter.1574300

The fantastic fan is just that, FANTASTIC! I would not consider any other fan for the purposes that I use it. There are so many different modes of operation that it will cover any need that you may have. The rain detection is very important in my area.844229

The product is working great. I will not consider any other product.

Super fast delivery from etrailer! Fits great, works great and I'm sure it is going to be a wonderful improvement to the RV. Easy install, not counting dicor removal??. Two wires only.1283960

I purchased one Fan-Tastic vent and one AirMaxx vent. They both have remote controls and operate the same. They are very similar in design, weight and noice level. AirMaxx has a much better remote control to change settings. AirMaxx was $XXX cheaper at the time of purchase in 2022.1502921

Great fan, excellent clean install and interior finish. Really like the remote control. Will purchase this again when needed1540259

After 1 year of service our fantastic fan is all we hoped for. Installation was easy as we had an existing oem fan we replaced. The remote function is a must as my wife is short and wouldn't be able to reach the ceiling to operate the fan. it moves much more air than the original and is actually quieter. Cant speak for the rain sensor as we have the roof vent installed. Highly recommend!!!932999

The lid motor broke after a couple months so I contacted the manufacturer (Dometic) and they said it had to be repaired at an rv dealer. No dealer would look at it and one told me it was a disposable product and even if they ordered parts it was unlikely that Dometic would send it to them. He said I would have better luck returning it to be fixed or replaced. I called Dometic and ask them for an address to send it to and they argued with me and said there was no address, so I kept asking for a supervisor and finally they let me talk to a person who said they would just send me a new lid motor. After months of arguing with them they did what I asked them to do in the first place. I purchased a Maxxair fan from Etrailer and it works great. Fantastic fan used to make a quality product but not anymore. It’s sitting in my shop until I can figure out what to do with it. It was a waist of money. I will replace my other 2 vents with Maxxair fans. Also I had it open and a light wind came up and the lid broke. They did send me a new lid but I was afraid to leave it open if not around. Also my rv came with another Dometic fan and the crank handle is stripped. Pure junk! I would not buy a Dometic fantastic fan and try not to purchase anything from Dometic. It is my opinion that they will not improve their products as long as RV manufacturers keep purchasing them.1416258

Have not installed it yet. I am excited to get it put in, I can't reach the one currently there and with the new one and remote I will no longer have to stand on a stool.
It was a good price. I will send pictures when installed.704587

The unit was easy to install and it works better than I expected. Using the renote with all the features makes it easy to use. It is quiet, and at night it pulls in the night cool eliminating the need to use on many nights, especially if the hook ups is 20amp. dont have to use the stool.

by: David03/21/2023

Great upgrade, put this in the kitchen where the ceiling is too high to reach the vent safely. plus could not beat the price. Recommend this product big time1540268

Install went good, easy wiring, worked perfect first try. Haven’t tested the rain sensor yet but I’m sure it will work fine.1608855

Works great. Your company goes out of its way to give superior service. Yourwebsite is my "go to" place when i need trailer and rv parts. Keep up the good work!1503031

This is the second Fantastic Fan I have bought and installed. Installation was easy and straight forward. No surprises. Both were the remote controlled and have the rain sensor and I am totally satisfied. The first went into a 10 foot by 5 foot Teardrop trailer I built and the second was replacing a fan in a class B motor-home. Great product and have nothing but thumbs up for this company.307618

Fantastic fan is a favorite of my short wife. The remote control is the bomb. It is working as described and would buy another and would recommend it.679640

by: Dave B.06/01/2019

Installation was a breeze. Hardest part was getting old vent out. Wife can now open and close the vent. First drop of water and the vent closes.651351

Fan is doing a great job, it clears the smoke out when I burn the toast. Dont have to use the air conditioner as much.
