you can replace the electronic controls with manual switches and manual speed controls
They can be purchased on-line or at a professional, opposed to a radio shack type electronics supply store.
The only caveat is you need to have a pretty fair understanding of basic electricity and wire connectors. Heck, depending on your rig, you could even wire the vents to a control center on the wall.
Yes after sleeping on it again last night that is exactly what I am going to try to do, figuring out which parts and how to do the wiring is the reasoning behind my post, seeing if anyone else has done it with the top model fan... I would love to find one of those mounted control boxes I've seen wired in to other people FV's but then again I do not think it can be done with my model fan ad the original wireless remote acts as that control box (just without the wire) I would definitely rather convert it to manual operation because when I take my son out riding there's just so many of his friends around and other kids running all over the place that I will probably end up in the same boat as I am in a short order of time.

E trailer has the remote for $33.00 or so. Check it out.
No eTrailer only carries the new oval remote, there are literally dozens of people there across multiple listings asking the very same question "if the new remote will work with our model fan" this is what prompted me to contact Dometic myself.

Go to eBay and buy a DPDT switch and a PWM. Total cost will be roughly $10 and then you will have total control of speed and direction.
I am in the process of trying to figure this out today actually, I have a wiring diagram from Dometic which is very basic so this should be doable while retaining precise control over the fan speed, the tall black fan motor on this previous model was designed so one can trim down the voltage to the fan setting it on very low speeds without making any motor hum or whine... unlike the new cheaper pancake motors Dometic is now installing even on their top model fan.
