I did a complete clean and retightening of my Fantastic Fan. May not sound like much, but after 10 years, it was pretty disgusting. Man, I did not even remember the fan blades were clear--and the vent is translucent! Its like I have a new window in my Roadtrek.
And in case anyone gets inspired to do the same thing and--god forbid--is as unaware as me, you can remove the screen from the inside and do 90% of the cleaning from there. Little need to go up onto the roof (where I did most of the work), except to snug up all the installation screws.
Did notice that the caulk is pulling away from the sides of the fan on the roof, though. Seems like some work will need to be done there. Anyone know what the best caulk would be for that job? And all the old, grungy caulk has to be removed, I bet. How do you do that?
