Bathroom fan October 22, 2016, 02:55:44 pm Reviewing the prior threads, it seems like a lot of people replace the Maxxair bathroom fan. For now I'm sticking with it, but had to replace the Jensen motor and fan blades. The PO disclosed it was broken and had been disconnected. I took the ceiling stroud off and located two wires exiting within the fan rough opening. My question is how does it turn on/off?Thanks, Matt 2002 RK

Re: Bathroom fan Reply #3 – October 22, 2016, 07:09:42 pm "Where is the switch; is it supposed to be in the fan unit itself?"I had mine replaced with a Fan-Tastic fan shortly after I bought my present rig eleven years ago, so take this with a grain of salt, but... as I recall, it's a small push-on/push-off switch located on the fan's bezel. Somebody who has one of these can tell you more precisely. 1 Likes
Re: Bathroom fan Reply #4 – October 23, 2016, 01:22:21 am Andy is right, that's the setup I have on my 98. There is a little black push button switch in the middle sticking through a designed hole int the screen. I can take a picture tomorrow if you need to see how it is set up. ~Liam 98 26.5 MB
Re: Bathroom fan Reply #5 – October 23, 2016, 02:00:21 pm Thanks Liam. I can see where the switch should go, so now I just need to locate one of suitable dimensions. It's curious why the switch was removed...Matt
Re: Bathroom fan Reply #6 – October 23, 2016, 02:48:14 pm My 2ยข...I also started out, 12 years ago, with that OEM rattle-trap fan in the toilet. That was the first original thing to go. It was replaced with a Fantastic Fan. It was okay but still needed protection from the rain.That's when I discovered MaxxAir's MaxFan.MaxxFan Deluxe Manual-Opening RV Ventilator System, White Lid - Maxxair...In slow increments I replaced/installed all five of the vent fans in my 2004 30'IB with the 'MaxxFan'. I couldn't be happier! By adjusting each fan by location, direction (in/out), and speed I can create my own micro-climate and it's got to be real hot outside when I resort to the A/C. 2 Likes
