Dometic Fan-Tastic Vent replacement motor and fan blade K8017-00 — standard vent kit with bowtie bracket and hardware

Replace a worn or noisy Fan-Tastic Vent with the Dometic K8017-00 fan blade and motor assembly — a complete drop-in kit that restores airflow and reliable operation for standard roof vents.

If your RV or camper vent is making unusual noises, not spinning, or producing reduced airflow, the K8017-00 kit provides the main mechanical components needed to return the vent to service. This assembly bundles the motor, fan blade and the bowtie mounting bracket, and is designed for straightforward replacement in compatible standard Fan-Tastic Vent models so you can avoid buying an entirely new vent.

Which parts are included and what will I receive in the box?

The K8017-00 replacement kit contains the core mechanical pieces required to rebuild a standard Fan-Tastic Vent. The package is ready for installation and includes basic mounting hardware and instructions so you can complete the swap yourself or hand it to a technician.

• Electric motor sized for standard vent housings
• Balanced fan blade engineered for efficient airflow
• Bowtie bracket for secure motor-to-vent mounting
• Mounting screws and step-by-step instruction sheet

How do I know if this assembly is compatible with my vent?

This kit is intended for use with Dometic Fan-Tastic Vent standard models; check the model numbers and vent form factor before ordering. It lists compatibility with common Fan-Tastic Vent models, but you should confirm the motor mounting pattern and electrical connections match your existing vent.

• Compatible with many 6000-, 6600- and 8000-series Fan-Tastic Vents
• Designed for standard vent housings rather than low-profile units
• Compare motor mount hole pattern and fan blade diameter to your original
• Contact Dometic support or consult your vent manual for exact fit guidance

What should I expect during installation and how long does it take?

Installation is a straightforward mechanical swap for anyone comfortable with basic tools and simple electrical connections. With the included hardware and instructions, most DIYers can complete the replacement in under an hour; a service technician can do it faster.

• Remove interior vent dome, disconnect wiring, and unfasten the old motor assembly
• Secure the new bowtie bracket and motor, attach the fan blade, reconnect wiring
• Test operation before reassembling the vent dome to ensure proper rotation
• No special tools required beyond common hand tools and a screwdriver

What performance or maintenance improvements will I notice?

Replacing a failing motor and blade restores designed airflow, reduces noise and prevents further electrical stress on the vent circuit. The balanced fan blade and serviceable motor improve ventilation efficiency and extend the life of the vent assembly compared with continuing to run a faulty unit.

• Quieter operation from a newly balanced blade and fresh motor
• Improved exhaust and intake airflow for better cabin air exchange
• Reduced electrical load compared with a worn motor that struggles to spin
• Serviceable parts make future repairs easier and more affordable

Who is this for: The Dometic K8017-00 Fan Blade and Motor Assembly is aimed at RV owners, vanlifers, fleet managers and service shops who want an affordable, OEM-compatible repair for standard Fan-Tastic Vents. It’s the right choice if your vent stops spinning, runs loudly, or provides noticeably less airflow, and you prefer replacing the mechanical internals over swapping the entire roof vent.
