Thanks, Great mod, well explained. Sorry about the cut, I would have done the same thing. I think we all hate that noise. I am doing a bunch of mods to my 5th wheel, and have removed my exhaust hood and fan motor.

Well as to fans I only got to try one since as I explained I ruined the more powerful one and while I repaired the blade as best as I could I just didn't want to chance it breaking after being installed so I was basically limited to the 118CFM model one. I sort of think the more powerful one would have been good especially on a lower speed and then in the fast mode while noisier would really pull the exhaust out. Unfortunately, I don't have and can't find the number for the more powerful fan, but one should be able to find it in the Jameco catalog from the specs I gave above.
