I was under the understanding that the fan inside the R-pod would work on battery power when there is no shore power – that it was just the AC that does not work. Am I wrong? My fan does not seem to be turning on.

It is the bathroom fan that will work on 12V, not the a/c fan.

I am confused here.. The Fantastic fan is already there. It will try to suck you out of the roof on high, try just opening the windows and turning on the FF, you might be very surprised how much air it moves.

Exactly!!  We turn the fantastic fan on low and crack a couple windows open and that creates a nice breeze in the pod.  No need for another fan!

Hmm. I had it on while working on the pod all afternoon today and didn't notice much breeze -- but that may be because I was moving around and not sitting. It was an especially hot and sunny and not breezy day; I wonder if the FF can't counteract temps and still air of a certain degree.

Ours will make the drapes stand out on high. The stock FF control panel has 3 speed settings, where you on "3"?

Yes. This was the first time I plugged in these GC2s from Costco. They haven't had a full charge from my van's power yet, though the indicator said they were full. Could that be an issue?
