Hi all. Forgive me if I’m stating the obvious or if this topic has recently been covered. My wife and I recently finished our first adventure of the season in our 179. One day, right after we pulled into a new camp and in the process of setting up camp, an awful racket started behind the fuse box near the door. I shut down power and removed a number of screws and the metal grate across the front of the little plastic converter fan. A wire behind the fan had moved forward a bit and was hitting the blades. A gentle nudge with a screwdriver pushed the wire back and the problem disappeared. I hope all your maintenance issues this season are so easily solved. Cheers!

Glad you caught it before the fan blades eroded the wire.
