Ceiling Fans

**Cate&Rob** · 01-21-2015, 06:49 PM

I like the look of this. Just moving the air around can be a real improvement even without A/C.
Is this fan placed where there was a light before ?
If not, how would the dealer have wired this ??

I don't think there was a light before and I have no idea how they wired ... I just know it works, LOL. The fan is not on a wall switch, gotta pull the chain. But I will say that it works great and definitely moves the air around.

The ceiling fan is something that I am interested in. Guess I need to talk to my dealer.

Hi Jeff,

Just looking more closely at your fan picture . . .
Is that a 12 V fan or a 120 V shore power fan ??

I have considered installing one over the island in my galley

It's a shore power fan. The dealer purchased it from Home Depot.

Hmmm . . . I was thinking that what we really need is a 12V fan for when there is no shore power.
On our boat, we use several Caframo Sirrocco Model fans.

Quiet, with really low power consumption (less than 0.5 amp on high) and move a reasonable amount of air.
The problem is that they have to be wall (or ceiling) mounted with a 12V power supply.

I just wanted to say hi there, as we were almost next door neighbors before we moved from Olalla :-) Oh do I ever miss it there!

Jeff K, what dealer did that for you?

We, too, miss the ceiling fan we had in our prior fifth wheel. When I contacted Grand Design to see if we could install one in our 2014 Solitude, I was told that there is no wiring in the ceiling - everything up there is 12V.

Do you know how the dealer got 110 up to the ceiling to install the fan?
