When I rebuild the other Fantastic Vent motor I have I will try to document it carefully.
This rebuild was a hasty get-it-done just in time for the first campout. I didn't even replace the brushes, just got them to push out a little further. The motor is living on borrowed time until I replace the brushes.
Yes, $60 plus shipping is a lot for a 12VDC pancake motor with just plain brushes, not even a brushless design. It does seem odd to design a sealed motor with inaccessible brushes. They must have either figured the brushes would last longer than they do or didn't care. I like to run my Create-A-breeze fan most of the summer to ventilate the trailer, so that probably accelerated the brush wear. the motor seems well built, just not built to repair.
