What is the Correct Replacement for the Fan-Tastic Model X8100RBASD

Question

Question:

Hi, My 2005 A Liner, Expedition model by Columbia Northwest Inc, has a broken vent fan unit and I need help finding the proper replacement vent fan. It seems when I search for this exact model, other options come up and Im nervous about ordering the wrong thing. Can you please help me ensure that I order a proper replacement? I do not need a thermostat or a remote control or anything fancy. : Ive attached a photo of the fan model which is the original and broken. Thanks so much for your help!

I contacted the manufacturer about this issue. They informed me that your current fan is from some time ago. The following two models are the correct replacements per the manufacturer.

Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # FV803350 (Manual Controls)

Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Remote # FV807350 (Remote)

Both are made in the USA and have a rain sensor so that the dome automatically closes and the built-in reversible, 12V fan shuts off if rain or snow hits.
