The Dometic Fantastic Fan 807350 is packed with all the nice-to-haves and must-haves that give justice to its hefty price tag. It’s made for traveling across seasons - it’s durable and UV-protected to endure lots of summer trips, and equipped with a rain sensor to avoid unnecessary puddles in your van, which on the contrary, your furry friend might find delightful. The two-way 10-blade fan operates manually with 14 fixed speed options to give you the precise airflow, and automatically to give you the exact ambient temperature through the built-in thermostat.
We’re Fantastic fans(heh)because their customer service is exceptional. Shortly after installation, our first fan began squeaking at low RPM. It only took one email to get a replacement, no questions asked, and took another five minutes to install. Always consider the after-sales.

And while it has a limited speed range, it also rocks a UV-filter, rain sensor, automatic lift motor, and works silently at low speed. Quality runs in the blood.
