I just bought a Fantastic Fan for my '01 Designer 32' Jayco fifth wheel. Cheapest fan model- it has no thermostat, can't even change the direction of airflow.So, now the two decisions are whether to permanently wire it to draw air into the rv or blow it out... as well as which one of the three locations I should install it.Location choices:1. Rear kitchen (although I very very rarely cook in it).2. Bathroom (it already has the barely-effective factory fan installed)3. BedroomSo, if it were up to you, where would you install it, and which direction would you wire it to move air (in or out)?

Hi,I'd put it in the area you live in the most and make it suck (exhaust). You can easily add a switch so it can be changed to blow, too.I've but rarely used the blow feature.

You want to draw cool air in down low to the ground and expel it at the highest place. So place it to blow out. As for placement? Where would it be used the most? Put it there. IMHO the bedroom is probably the worst place to put it. The noise at night might be really annoying for you.Mine is in the living room and we use it about as much as the AC unit.

Since I shower in my RV bathroom, I would install it in the bathroom, set to exhaust, to remove the humidity generated by the shower.Another plus would be that I could open a couple of bedroom windows and turn the fan on to get air flow through the bedroom, and having the fan in the bathroom would help to minimize the noise.So, I vote for the bathroom.I removed the three speed non-reversible Fantastic fan from our kitchen/dinette and installed it in the bathroom, then installed a three speed reversible one in the kitchen/dinette. They are wonderful!

I agree with putting it as an exhaust, and I would do it in the rear kitchen. It would be too loud for me in the bedroom, and you already have a fan in the bath.

Suck or blow... and where's the best spot to do it?

I did forget to add that I shower nearly every day in the rv.
