I have a new to me Newmar MountainAire and love it. Year is 2003. The vent fan over the bathroom does not go on either on battery or electric. Any ideas to try to get it going? Would it be a 12V or 120 V fuse/Circuit Breaker to check? Taking a trip and would like it. NOT a Fantastic Fan but would like it to evacuate the steam from showers etc.

Thump it a few times. Probably not a bad motor, probably a bad connection, wiring, or switch.
4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

The motor is likely shot.. Now I could give you my opinion of those vent fans but.. Alas.. I don't really like using that kind of language (Sad grin). so I will tell you what I did.

I got 4 4" "Computer" fans (Actually I got either 10 or 12 for 10 bucks when last in Quartsite) and wired them in aparallel. I set 'em on wood spacewr (A couple of craft sticks thick works nicely) so they don't rub the screen.. Far more air flow, Much less noise, and they work. Also less electronic noise since the computer fans are "Brushless".
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

My '03 had 2 switches on the wall. One was for the light and the other the fan. I miss my MA.

Are you sure you're not missing a wall switch?

AH, I do not do electricity so will have someone else check it for me.
Thanks, for replying so fast. I was thinking maybe a circuit breaker or fuse.

12 volt only. Maybe bad motor. Unhook wires and check voltage with power on.
