They should all be exactly the same as RV manufacturers all use thick wiring of the same exact length for a precisely known amount of voltage drop and all RV batteries will have the same voltage always.
As if.
Also, the amount of dust build up on the blades makes a difference in amp draw. My computer muffin fans, I was surprised to find that a dusty impeller reduces amp draw. Not surprising is that a clean fan moves more air, but it also makes more noise, as it is spinning faster.
Restrictions, like a dusty screen behind the impeller also increases noise, greatly reduces efficacy, and uses slightly less amperage, in my experience.
Higher voltage and higher speeds means more amp draw on muffin fan motors, in my experience.
Don't know about fantastik.
Measure voltage at fan, not battery.
Or just argue and shake your fist at the sky
