A/C Cooling Fan / Radiator / Cooling
This topic kind of ties into one already started 8.3 Overheating but has to do with the A/C condenser. I have discovered that the electric fan on the A/C condenser does not come on when the dash A...

You might have to follow the wiring to find any relays. Or call Fleetwood.
You could use a switch and turn on the fan when you want it on. Then as you get near a mountain pass, you can turn it on early. It would save a lot of searching around just to install a new switch and #10 wire to the fan, along with a 30 amp fuse. If you don't want to run a lot of new wiring, then a #14 wire from the dash area to a new fog lamp relay (30 amps +) and then the larger wire from the battery to new relay to the fan. This will also provide more voltage to the fan, due to shorter wire run. Include a 30 amp auto re-set circuit breaker, and measure the amp draw if you can. it might take more than 30 amps?
Sears used to sell a clamp on AC/DC meter. Most clamp on amp meters only measure AC amperage, but this one was a reasonably priced $90 meter that measures DC amperage just by clamping it around the wire, no need to cut into the circuit.
