Fantastic Fan Fantastic Fan 7350 Upgrade Kit

Curious if anyone has installed the Fantastic Fan 7350 Upgrade Kit? It provides a remote control, more variable and slower speeds and specific temperarture control.

Thanks,

Randy

Note that the fan in Camp Inn trailers is not standard, Camp Inn orders a custom version with slower speeds because of the small volume of the trailer. A standard fan may be too powerful.

 

Interesting, I know that with the upgrade there are more speed choices. Some of the other forums talk about slower speeds but to your point, it may not be helpful if CampInn has a custom fan that already has a slower speed.

 

Give Cary a call and let us know what he thinks.

 

I wonder why anyone would need a remote. Just reach up and adjust it.

 

Ha ha, that's too much work!

The big advantage that everyone talks about is the availability of slower speeds/lower amp draw. Here is a pic of the remote:

 

We had this fan in another Camper, and I must admit it was nice. Maybe a remote would be nice in a 560 if you were reading on the sofa. Not sure if you would need one in a 550.

 

If you want to slow down your fan - here is a link to some information via the Little Guy forum - click on the link for an instruction sheet. I called Fantastic Vent and they sent me this same .pdf. Requires a bit of electrical work, but nothing too complicated. Requires a wire stripper/cutter, resistor(s) and a couple wire butt connectors. This mod brings the fan speed down a notch. Tim has a little jump wire with alligator clips if he wants to bring the fan back to the original speeds.

Fantastic Fan - Slowing it down!

Note: Tim used one 8-ohm resistor (rather than two 4-ohm) - he cautions than an 8-ohm resistor generates more heat than a 4-ohm but we haven't had any issues (melting plastic). He just turned off the vent fan before he cut the wire, but you might want to turn off the electricity at the battery.
