This site is Fan-Tastic

:p Pardon the pun, but seriously I just want to give credit where its due. Last summer I upgraded my tent trailer to a Outdoors RV 18F & I love it, however I had one mild concern & that was running the bathroom fan constantly to exhaust the warm air. Which was when I learned of the Fantastic fan (and other various brands obviously) from you fine folks, I ended up purchasing a 4000r & installed it this spring, we went on our first camping trip last weekend. WOW this thing is amazing, it got fairly hot out and we didn't even consider turning on the AC, the fan on low was more than enough, the breeze it created was so nice, it was definitely a valuable investment. If it wasn't for you helpful folks on this site, I wouldn't have known such an accessory existed. So thanks! ...thanks for info on LED lights as well, that was my other upgrade, looking forward to the summer!

    My "next" fan will be a large muffin type fan since Fan-Tastic has become a ho-hum me-too business.

    "Brushes are not serviceable, and replacement motor is $59.00 plus shipping and tax". A new Endless Breeze costs sixty some odd dollars and I do not have room to take along an entire spare fan.


    So much for the "old" customer service since Fantastic was bought out.

    I've always been tempted to get the thermostatically controlled model with rain guard and hook it to the dump load on a solar controller. Cooled RV any time you show up using only waste solar output.

    We just installed one in our "new to us" 5th wheel. Had one in an older rig. Not only are they wonderful, but customer service is awesome with that company. :) :)
