Bath fan switch

[Nopeeking]

In fact it is the first switch your hand reaches as you fumble for the light switch at night! Fortunately it is easy to reverse the wiring so you get the lights first!

Yah, what's with that? For some reason I found this terribly annoying... I reversed the switches.

Has anyone replaced the switch with one that has a pull string that hangs down a foot or so?

Looking at a 2021 reflection 303rls and bath has no fan switch on the wall, just up in fan housing what's with that?

You can add a wall switch, it's not that hard, but you'll have to use surface mount conduit (2 pieces, screw the back on and the front clips over it). You'll have to unscrew and drop the inside trim piece, then attach Romex on the power side of the fan switch, and run it down the wall inside the conduit to a surface mount switch.

Our 2012 307MKS had the bathroom fan that would start once you opened the vent. Sold it and bought a 2021 Imagine TT. It has both fan push button and wall switch by the light switch.

We installed a Maxxair fan with a remote control. Mounted the control so that it can be reached when setting on the throne. DW, at 5'2" could not reach the original fan on/off unless she stood on the toilet seat.

You can easily install a mini wireless switch. $22.00 on Amazon. I just installed one for the lights above my theater chairs so I don’t have to get up every time I want them on or off. Think I’ll order another one for the bathroom fan.

Well, that might work for turning the fan on, but it doesn't seem sturdy enough to turn the knob to open the vent (also located on the ceiling) without breaking.

Well this should do the trick...

You would think by now, I would know how to place a link on a thread including a photo. I’m working on it.

It did!!! ... thank you. This is an easier solution to the recliner overhead light than removing trim and running wires down to a new switch like I've been contemplating.

I just ordered one for my bathroom fan.

Our Momentum is like that, very common.

We've had a 2022 Rockwood Signature and an Outback trailer. Both cost less than half our 2021 303rls. Both had wall switches. We thought it was chintzy of GD. We also never had a fridge issue with either over 16 years. Unlike our 303. Just saying!

Here's another link for a simple remote wireless dimmer switch that I installed in our trailer to do the same thing. I used a command strip and stuck it to the wall right next to my recliner. All that was required was to drop the first overhead light fixture above the chairs and wire in the receiver. Very simple and expandable too. https://www.amazon.com/RV-LIGHTING-...ef_=pd_bap_d_grid_rp_0_1_ec_ppx_yo_dt_b_bia_i

Sounds like you did exactly what I did with my recliners. I just received my other wireless switch from Amazon. Hopefully I can install it tonight for the bathroom fan.

Here’s my wireless button setup for my bathroom fan assuming the picture went through.

Posting hint.... If you open your picture in whichever location you store it rotate it AND crop it just a tiny bit and then save it before posting it. That way it will always post in the correct orientation... just rotating it doesn't usually work... it needs to be cropped slightly.

Thanks. That was the first picture I ever posted.

Great Idea. I found the switch at Lowe’s for less than 6 dollars, took me about 15 minutes to swap it out. Problem Solved.
