The fan cowling on my 2015 179 has cracked and is falling off. Can anyone tell me where I may get a replacement? The fan is functional, it is the cosmetic piece on the inside that has broken.

Hello and welcome!

By fan cowling, are you talking about the inside piece for the Fantastic Fan in the shower or the cowling for the air conditioner? It helps to be specific.

Yah, could not find the name of the fan, but you nailed it. The fan, not the AC Thanks

I think it is Dometic, they have a support line on their website under ventilation. You probably will need to go thru them.

I had a Fantastic Fan in my last trailer (pre-Pod) and dealt with a guy in Ohio who specializes in RV fans and vents. Bit of a character but a great business, he sells parts too. Here's a link:

If you have any trouble with finding the part, this might be a job for the new clear Gorilla tape. I haven't used it yet -- though I got some in anticipation. Gorilla duct tape is the best thing since duct tape (which is saying something!)

Call fantastic fan directly.. Many people have gotten great service dealing with them directly. Including me.

Like Tars Tarkas I also am a big fan of the Gorilla Tape. Have not tried the clear yet.

Don's assume it is a Fantastic Fan....found out the hard way mine is a MaxxAir (ordered an exterior vent cover for it). Not sure when FR is using this brand.

They switched to the Maxxair sometime in the 2017 model year.
