Shower Exhaust Vent Fan

[FLMedic]

We have a 1995 Airstream Landyacht LE 31' RV.

The exhaust vent fan in the shower needs to have the blade replaced because it was completed dry rotted where the blades had crumbled off. The safety screen is also dry rotted.

I tried to replace the fan blade, but the standard 6" blade does not fit. The plumbing vent is a standard size, but the only replacement fan that I can find is a solar powered one (that hasn't gotten good reviews).

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement fan blade or replacement vent fan?

*This is NOT the same size as the bathroom exhaust fan in the RV that you can buy at major camping stores*

Thank you!

You're probably going to be better off replacing the entire fan as parts are hard to find..

I believe Vintage Trailer has them, as well as Inland Trailer.... I think I paid about $50 for a new unit...

A photo might help. But since you've left us guessing, does it look like the Ventline ones here? They're a pretty common bath vent in Airstreams.

Thanks Mexray, I did find it on Vintagetrailer.com. They were asking $76 for it. Once I found the part #. I checked Amazon again and found it there for $57 and it was Prime eligible (free shipping). The part# is VP-543. I hope this saves someone else some time.

I got my new vent in the 'mail', no instructions... anything I should know or do before I remove the old one and put in the new one? I know this was an old post, hoping you have some wisdom to share now.

Thanks to all, Matt
