Installing an Endless Breeze Fan September 09, 2009, 11:31:24 am Yahoo Message Number: 105695I would like to hang our Endless Breeze fan in front of the dinette window. [MB] I want it swivel so it can point forward or across the rig toward the stove. I can fabricate something to hold the fan by the sides and a rod that would extend up to the overhead bin, the likely point of attachment. What I can not imagine is what I will use to attach it to the bin that will swivel.I have seen this done in metal, but I don't have torch. Anyone have some ideas or pictures how this might be accomplished.Thanks in advance.Cheers, Don
Installing an Endless Breeze Fan Reply #1 – September 09, 2009, 02:57:29 pm Yahoo Message Number: 105709Don, I wonder if a simple TV bracket like I used in our '02 FL would work? I used an OmniMount Flip Down model 75/100 FD. It certainly would be strong enough!

Re: Installing an Endless Breeze Fan Reply #2 – September 09, 2009, 03:50:47 pm Yahoo Message Number: 105713That might work Ted. It's hard to tell from the tiny pictures. Maybe it could attach to the fan's grill or face plate. I had in mind it attaching to the sides of the fan. I will look at TV brackets the next time we are in a place with big box stores.Thanks for the idea! Don

It tilts but does not swivel. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lwade/sets/72157602095131286/> You could bend a piece of aluminum strap into a sharp 'U' and attach the sides of the 'U' to the fan. Then drill a hole in the middle of the 'U' and use a bolt long enough to pass through the bottom of the overhead cabinet. Remove the floor, inside the overhead cabinet. Glue in a piece of 1 X 2 or whatever fits rights, so the bolt has some added material to pass through. Use washers on both ends of the bolt and a nyloc-nut to secure it. Add a nylon washer, on the bolt, between the `U' and the overhead cabinet to prevent marring the cabinet's paneling. Not very elegant but it would work until you get home and can build something nicer.Larry
