Bathroom Crank up Vent Fan...2015 G'town

The cover on my bathroom vent fan is disintegrating ... looks like sun damage...so I need to replace the plastic cover OR the entire assembly.
A couple of questions:

Does anyone know the maker of this fan?
Does anyone have any replacement experience with this fan or Vent Cover?
The inside trim shroud measures 13.25 x 13.25 but but I'm assuming this is a standard 14x14 opening in the roof? Correct??

I would be comfortable doing the install jobs...but want to order an exact replacement if possible ...or at least be sure that an aftermarket fan will fit.

The fan I have has a metal crank up lift mechanism like a crank for an old car engine...not a round knob.

Thanks in advance for any info!

See the label? That has the manufacturer and part number. Google that. Now, the difficult part! The bar that moves the lid up and down has 2 screws. Take an appropriate small screw driver and remove the screws DONT LOSE THEM! There's a hole in the top bar to remove the lever so you can slide the "hinge" off the front exterior after first using a needlenose pliers to bend the lips on either end of the aluminum slide. Now take your new lid and slide it back on. Use your pliers to bend the new lips. Reattach the lever and screws those screws you didn't lose[emoji16] you're all done!
Good luck with your installation. I'll get you the seller and part number installed.Click image for larger version

Thanks a bunch...that picture looks a lot like mine...will check out the label & proceed from there. Nice to know I can get a replacement lid rather than a whole assembly.
Will post with final result...but it may take a couple of weeks.

Why bother?

I ditched the original Heng fan for the Vortex.

The original Heng fan made more noise than air movement.

The rest of the park knew you had it turned on from the noise alone.

See how simple to upgrade here.....

I replace ours with a fantastic fan and a large cover. Multi speed, run it all the time.

The bathroom fan was a quick cheaper upgrade using the Vortex.

I replaced the fan in the kitchen with this.....just waited till it was on sale.

I've got a fantastic fan added on in the kitchen which we like a lot. My main concern in the bathroom is a new lid...since I found the old broken one on the ground next to the RV this morning ! Ordered the new one for $13 bucks deliveredand Gorilla tape will cover the existing hole/cover till it arrives on Tuesday.
If for some reason it doesn't work...the Vortex looks like a good replacement solution...and the film helped be figure out how to get the screen out of the existing unit...Thanks!

Vent Cover

These opaque vent covers are good for maybe 3 years in warm dry climates. There are 2 different types. Based on the method used to secure them.You should be able to determine yours by checking out RV vent covers on Google.

About hour and half job most of time spent cleaning old calk off also be careful when you cut the inside plastic piece if you have a crown roof you have to cut on a angle

Thanks...I ordered the same one Schavarak recommended/bought since it looks like the same fan. Hopefully the smoke color will work better than the white... But I'll settle for another 4 years!
