Sounds like Dometic pulled a play from the LCI playbook.
1-Design, market, or acquire a product.
2- Cheapen its construction / materials as much as possible and make parts or components as proprietary as possible.
3- Inflate prices for replacement or repair parts that are designed to fail, or make them totally unavailable forcing the buyer left with half a product or system to buy another pile of junk.
This is exactly what Dometic has done acquiring Fantastic Vent Company, being that Dometic is using the cheaper, nosier and less efficient pancake motor on their fans across all their models speaks volumes to that very fact. You get the same motor now with their top of the line model fan as you do with their base model offering.
