Dometic 807357 Fan-Tastic Vent 7350 Roof Vent Upgrade Kit, White

If your Fan-Tastic Vent has gotten loud, weak, or just quit pulling air the way it used to, the Dometic 807357 upgrade kit is the fix. It brings your existing roof vent up to the current Model 7350 without cutting a new hole in your roof. You keep the frame that's already sealed and flashed into place, and you drop in the modern 7350 mechanism. White dome, clamp-style install, and it comes ready to run.

Here's the short version of why folks do this. The older powered vents wear out. Motors get tired, the lift arms get sloppy, and the dome stops sealing the way it should. Instead of tearing out the whole housing and re-sealing a fresh cutout, this kit lets you refresh the working parts and leave the roof penetration alone. That's the whole appeal. Less time on the roof, less sealant, and a lot less risk of a leak six months down the line.

The 7350 itself is a real step up. You get a powered fan that moves serious air, and it reverses. So you can pull fresh air in on a cool morning, or push hot and stale air out when you've been cooking or the rig's been closed up all day. Anyone who's spent a summer afternoon in a sealed camper knows how much difference moving air makes. This is the vent that finally does it right.

Two features carry this kit. First, the built-in rain sensor. Leave the dome open, walk away, and if it starts to rain the sensor closes it for you automatically. No more sprinting back to the rig when the sky opens up over the campsite. Second, the remote control. You run the fan, change the speed, and open or close the dome right from your seat. On a tall rig or a bunk model where the vent is out of easy reach, that remote earns its keep every single day.

Installation is straightforward for most owners. The kit clamps into your existing Fan-Tastic Vent frame, so there's no new cutout and no roof surgery. You disconnect the old fan motor lead, wire in the new 7350 motor and control, and clamp the assembly down. Folks who've done it report the whole job runs about an hour with basic hand tools. If you're comfortable with a screwdriver and a couple of wire connections, you can knock this one out in an afternoon.

Who's this for? Anyone running an older Fan-Tastic powered roof vent that's on its last legs. Travel trailers, fifth wheels, motorhomes, van conversions, toy haulers, they all use these vents. If you've got the frame in the roof and the fan's tired, this is the clean way back to full function. It's also a smart move if you bought a used rig and inherited a vent that's clearly seen better days.

A couple of honest notes before you order. This is an upgrade kit, not a complete new vent with its own frame, so you do need a compatible Fan-Tastic Vent housing already in the roof. Check that your existing frame is the clamp-style type this kit fits before you buy. And the install does include a little 12-volt wiring, you cut the old motor lead and connect the new control, but it's basic stuff and nothing you need an electrician for.

This is the white, clamp-style version with the rain sensor and the remote control. It's the same 7350 mechanism the factory ships in new rigs today, just packaged so you can retrofit it into the housing you've already got. Straightforward upgrade, big comfort payoff, and you skip the whole mess of a full vent replacement.
