I have a 1982 35FC with the stock Jensen motorized roof vent featuring a light and fan. This vent is cracked and is leaking and needs to be totally replaced. Does anyone have any recommendations as to a good replacement unit? I like the newer types that allow you to keep the vent open while you drive. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

I prefer the Fantastic Vent. Better fan and much quieter, excellent factory support.

I went with fantastic vents but the JC Whitney catalog has what looks to be identicle fans that the (my) wanderlodge used originally. Fantastic vents are much more sturdy and costly.

Pick a warm day to replace the vents, the old caulking will come off easier.

You can get an almost identical replacement for your Jensen vent from Elixir as part number V771442-1G2. The unit will work with all the existing controls. Put a MaxAir cover over the vent to allow the vent to stay open during the rain and while driving. This motorized vent should not be used as the principal coach vent. If you want to really move air, get a Kool-O-Matic. A good compromise is a Fantastic Fan.

I too like the fantastic vents but the ones you mention are also among the top. They can be purchased through JC Whitney stores in Chicago for under 100. You should use a maxxair vent cover to travel with vent open. Also JC whitney or Camping World.
