Bathroom fan June 10, 2003, 03:53:43 pm Yahoo Message Number: 23176I have a 1998 Mid-bath, and for the life of me I cannot figure out why some people are unhappy with the installed bathroom fan. It looks cheap, and is noisey, but it really does move the air. The best test is when my grandson takes long hot showers in cold weather and the mirror just drips condensation. But a few moments with the fan and the mirror is clear. On our coach, it moves enough air that even with the bathroom window closed, he wants if off until he is through in there because it makes him cold.In my own case, I turn the fan on as soon as I turn off the shower water, and the steam from the shower doesn't even get as far as the mirror.Happy towelsGus Weber

But a few moments with the fan and the mirror is clear I used to think ours was ok for the job, too - until I installed the FF. And there's the rub. Our FL did not come with any FF, and the rear bath was the only spot (and a good one) available for installation. After the installation, I realized how much better air movement was for bath use, as well. The FF on low, nearly silently, will move air at several times the flow rate of the native fan.Another issue - we like to leave our vent open all the time as part of a natural flow of ventilation air. This pretty much dictates a vent cap to keep the rain out. Now, the built-in vent fan has no baffling of any sort. Any slight restriction at all to airflow, and turbulance kills the fan's effort. The FF is nearly unaffected by the vent cap at low speed, and still does well at higher speeds.Steve

Well, if you're going to repair/replace it anyway, you might consider installing a real Fan-Tastic fan instead. Or a Create-A-Breeze fan. Camping World has them for $98.10 if you're a President Club member, $109.00 if you're not. http://www.campingworld.com/browse/skus/index.cfm?skunum=19708&src=SRQB orhttp://tinyurl.com/po33nLinda Hylton2004 Red 23.5' TK http://map.datastormusers.com/level3.cfm?mapnum=3044300 http://earl-linda.blogspot.com
