Re: Looking at using the Fantastic Fan while in storage

I left the pass through window and a roof vent open thinking that natural convection would keep it ventilated. Bad idea. When we went to pick it up, there was mildew everywhere. Ventilation is no good in such a warm humid environment. You need to dehumidify the air inside somehow. Back home in Seattle I keep it closed up and use a couple of Dri-Z-Air units inside to keep it dry. Change them out once a month. That makes a lot of sense. When we lived in Naples FL we had the coach in storage most of the time and we just locked it up. Never had any mold or mildew issues. Rather have the high temp inside then the mold and mildew. Thanks everyone for your help with this454Views0likes0CommentsRe: Looking at using the Fantastic Fan while in storage

It's impossible to cool it lower than the ambient temperature. If it's 90 outside the best you will do is get it down to 90 inside. In Florida in the summer the temp inside the coach can exceed 110 degrees or more. I have a Fantastic Fan in the living room area and an exhaust fan in the bath. Both have Max Air covers to protect from the weather. Plan to leave the bath exhaust vent open without the fan running to provide air intake for the Fantastic Fan to draw out. Has anyone ever use an exhaust fan in this way and will the fan last running 12 hours a day?457Views0likes0CommentsLooking at using the Fantastic Fan while in storage
Hey All,... I am considering coming in off the road after 1.5 years and putting the RV in storage in Florida. With solar on the roof I am thinking about using the Fantastic Fan either on a timer or on a photo eye to help keep the temp down in the coach during the day and keep the air moving while in storage. Anybody ever do this? Can the Fantastic Fan be run 12 hours a day? Input and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Make it a Great Day!!!

Thanks to all for your help and sugestions. turns out that the pin that goes through the collar on the main gear had come out (not snapped). With no room to work we had to unbolt the slide mount and motor from the floor, manually push the slide in almost all the way and then tilt it to gain access to the gear and pin. Even though I dont think the pin will come out again, I will have this looked at and replace the pin soon. Thanks again for all the sugestions.386Views0likes0CommentsElectric Slide motor doesn't seem tobe engaged
Hello All, I have a 2011 Winnebago Sightseer 31e which has 2 slides. Today I ran out the electric bedroom slide and instead of running out tight and shutting off as it usually does it ran out all the way and the motor continues to run as long as you pus the button. If I try to bring the slide in, the motor runs but the slide does not move. If I try to put the slide out the motor runs but the slide does not move. I removed the cover for the motor and slide mechanism and can see the motor and the shaft turns but it doesn't seem to be engaged with the geared rail. If anyone has had any experience like this your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks617Views0likes1CommentBedroom Slide motor seems to be disengaged
Hello All,... I have a 2011 Winnebago Sightseer 31E. I ran the electric bedroom slide out and instead of running out tight and shutting off the slide went all the way out and the motor keeps running. Now the bedroom slide won't come in or go out. I pulled the cover and can see the motor shaft turning but the slide doesn't move. It appears the motor is disengaged from the gears?? Any info would be helpful1.6KViews0likes9CommentsKwikee Step won't Retract
Hello All, My Kwikee power step has stopped retracting. The motor runs and makes a clunking grinding sound for about 10 seconds but the step does not retract. The motorhome is a 2011 Winnebago and the motor on the step was replaced just over a year ago. Nothing looks out of place or broken, could it be binding or need lube. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.4KViews0likes12Comments
