I want to replace the noisy chrome cab fans (the driver & passenger fans, at top of windshield). OEM fans are ACAR FP-105L. Has anyone found a quieter replacement?

I'm interested in doing same thing. Hope someone has found a much quieter fan.

If its a metal fan you wont find a quiet one, I have not found one yet, I only run mine on low speed because its noisy at high speed.Not sure if a plastic one is made for replacement.

Here's an option. Many coaches mount a squirrel cage type fan behind the overhead TV. They than use flexible ducting, usually four hoses, to route the air to the windshield from behind the TV and from the sides.

We just did that last week. The originals in our Damon were so noisy, we never turned them on. They only had 2 speeds and they were both on or off at the same time, couldn't use them separately.The new ones can be used individually and are variable speed. Each has its own rheostatScroll down to see new fans.

The more quiet, the weaker.
