Installing an Endless Breeze Fan

September 09, 2009, 11:31:24 am

I 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

Don, 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! The link to it is: http://www.omnimount.com/products/Flat%20Panel%20Wall%20Mounts/Flip%20Down/

That 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

Hey guys, check out Andy's "Ureka". I believe he had an Endless Breeze mounted in the overhead on Gertie.

That is ideal! Thanks. I should have looked at Eureka first.
Only a few weeks until we get home and I can use my propane torch.

Everyone keep an eye out for a tan MB in flames. I have never worked with a propane torch but it sure sounds like fun.

We hung an Endless Breeze in the bunk. It tilts but does not swivel.

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.
