    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fan-Tastic Vent mod from 3-speeds to 6-speeds

    I have not looked at mine yet, but could we just replace the 3 position switch with a variable resistor and then just have infinite selections instead of just 3 speeds? There are just a few screws you can remove from inside the camper (none outside) so you can see the 3 speed switch. It appears...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fan-Tastic Vent mod from 3-speeds to 6-speeds

    I decided to try different resistors to see if the fan could be a little slower over the upper bed area. I choose a 8 Ohm 20 Watt Resistor. 8 Ohm 20 Watt Resistor #271-120 This Excel sheet shows the different values of resistors I tried and the current/voltage/power they used. The added...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fan-Tastic Vent mod from 3-speeds to 6-speeds

    Before... After... I added a switch that is simply connected across the added slow down resistor to return the fan to the original speeds. Round Rocker Switch #275-015 + 3/16" Quick Disconnects #64-3132 Hint: Use a "step" drill bit for the switch hole.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fan-Tastic Vent mod from 3-speeds to 6-speeds

    When I was trying to figure out what options I wanted in my Cougar, I asked a ga-zillion questions and one of my questions was regarding one or two powered vents... the answer was a resounding TWO. So, I asked Ben to install two Fan-Tastic 4000R Powered Roof Vents. But, after the first night I...

    Sacremento, CA to Huntsville, AL, according to MapQuest is 2301 miles! If we get down to street addresses, I may have you beat. OK, so do I owe you a beer or you owe me a beer? (I like DARK beer.) :D Mike

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Panther Plan

    My second mod is likely a new way to anchor the couch cushions and store the table top for DD use. FWIW, I moved the two wood keeps on the seat back about an extra 1" or 1.5" apart so that the portable table would fit between (not on) those keepers and lay flat against the seat back while the...

    Did FWC build that? It certainly shares a lot of design similarities - inside and out - with a FWC. Since that camper looks old (pre 2000?) and the patent on the lifting device was probably still active, yes it probably was built by FWC...

    I received the new 1314 battery separator from Ben a few weeks ago as promised, but I have been working on my honey-do-list. Yesterday, I replaced the old 1314 with the new 1314 and was pleased the new 1314 did not energize when the truck is not connected. Then I noticed the new 1314 did not...
