Fantastic Fan

[gwilson99]

The Fantastic Fan on my 2019 287 rlts will open but when I turn on the fan it automatically closes. It has always done this so I can never use the fan feature. Does anyone know the fix for this? Thanks

Does your fan have an automatic rain sensor? This could be your problem, maybe the sensor was wired backwards, or it is dirty or just plain defective.

I had a similar issue. What I discovered on mine, was this…

The controller has an open/close switch as well as a fan speed that cycles through 0=off, 1=slow, 2=medium, and 3 for fast. When the fan is set to (or the last speed selection was 0) and I turn it on, the cover opens up and immediately closes. I thought the rain sensor was bad… by chance, I selected open and cycled the speed a couple of times, and it stayed running. Cycling it to speed 0 causes the fan to stop and the cover to close, at least on mine.

There may not be anything wrong with it, as my wife says, just poor operator technique. As an engineer, I submit that the design logic is less than ideal. Built as a lowest cost alternative.

Good luck with yours.

@gwilson99 -

I see you've been around the forum a while but haven't posted much. Here are a few forum tips:

1) If you use "Reply With Quote" (to the right of "Reply") as I have here, folks will know to whom you are responding and that person will get a notification.

2) You can also tag folks using the "@" symbol and their user name (as I have done yours) - they'll also get a notification that way.

3) You can create a signature block with your RV and tow vehicle information (see mine below). That way you won't have to repeat that information whenever you post or ask a question - and others won't have to ask. You can create a signature by going to:

Forum Actions (on menu bar) -> Edit Profile -> Edit Signature (under My Settings on the left)
