Citation skylight replacement

The skylight in my 2014 Citation Sprinter just quite working. A smaller RV repair shop believes that the motor has "burned out" . I am on the road and trying to plan out my next steps to resolve the problem. Has anyone out there had this same issue and, if so, did you have to replace the entire skylight or is there an option to obtain a new motor for the unit? Either way, if you went through Thor, how did that go, how long did it take, and are you satisfied with the outcome? I'd appreciate any insight and suggestions.

Are referring to an exhaust fan/vent & is powered or manual, what brand?
If it's a Maxx Air it's more than likely just the operater, a $10 part & 10 minute replacement from the roof.

Thanks, but no this is the integral "euro" skylight vent in the living room.

My 2016 Siesta Sprinter has the manual skylight. The powered skylight was offered in 2015 but not 2016. I don't think the powered version can be converted. The linkage for the manual version seems flimsy, although it works well.

Thor may know a source for the motor...They have been very quick to respond to email. https://thormotorcoach.com/customer-care/
