The Fantastic fan will seal to the roof just as well as the existing vent does. One alternative though, if you're still concerned about it, would be to upgrade your existing vent by installing a "Vortex II 5-speed Fan Upgrade". Since it leaves the existing vent frame and cover in place, the existing seal is not disturbed. I installed on of these in our previous coach. It worked quite well without a lot of noise.
I like the Vortex alternative and have looked into it. The only drawback is that it moves less than 200 cfm compared to the over 900 CFM available by Fantastic fan. I had a Fantastic fan in my truck camper and it really spoiled us. A great piece of equipment. If I could get that kind of air movement through a Vortex II I'd jump all over it!!
