Just purchased a 2015 Rpod 179, we are going thru it and have questions. Like the FANTASTIC FAN in the wet-bath. It blows air into the wet-bath. Is this right? I think not. Supposed to suck air out of bathroom. How does one fix this? Although still under warranty I'd just as soon fix it myself. I guess I'm going to disassemble it until I can get to the wires- then swap them. It looks like I might be able to get on the roof and reach them. But next 3 days are torrential rain so I'll wait for better weather. RoadToad & Ms Badger The Toadj Me-Haul ------------- 2015 RP179 |

Although it is true that some models of the Fantastic Fan are reversible, I am unaware of one being factory installed on the POD. The only way I am aware of reversing the direction of a DC fan is to reverse the connection leads on the fan itself. It would not surprise me, at all, to discover that a fan was wired in reverse on a POD.

There is a reason reversing fans are not installed in camper bathrooms. The black tank vent pipe is usually close to the bathroom on the roof. A fan sucking in..........Not good.

No need to go on the roof. Unscrew the trim ring on the inside and you'll see the wires there. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
