Fan running in basement area
So we stopped at a park 2 days ago and after getting set up I noticed a what appears to be a fan running at low speed in the basement area behind the nautilus panel. I've never noticed it before. I unplugged and it's still on so obviously its 12v.
Any ideas? Nothing is on. No furnace. Nothing.
Thanks for the help.Tom & Misty - Dover, FL

Inverter would be my guess.

Well, here’s where I pulled my guess from
Their rig is a 344GK-R, which I assume has a residential refrigerator from the model number. Also, the fan keeps running after shore power is removed. My hypothesis is the inverter has been running while on the road and is warm so the fan is running.
But, like I said, it’s a guess!John & Kathy

That was it! Thanks for the help. I had never heard the fan before but we normally Park near a lot of road noise. Should I turn the inverter off when I'm parked/plugged in? Itsbeen on since I bought the unit in Dec but this was our 1st big trip - 2 days, Louisiana to Tampa.

The hard part is to remember to turn ON the inverter before unplugging and moving. KEN
