[VAC] Fantastic Fans, MaxAir Vents & Lights



I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has a 1970's trailer (mine is
1976) and has replaced the inefficient fan with a Fantastic Fan.  I have
MaxAir vents which I love but have heard you should not install the
wonderful Fantastic Fans and try to keep the MaxAir. that is my first
problem as I really want to keep the vents so in the winter I can get
good air circulation and no musty/stale smell in the spring.  Second,
installing the FF means we lose the incandescent lights (probably good
as florescent is more efficient) but which florescent's would be best -
on 30 watt or two 16's (the one 30 watt is much cheaper)?.  Third, if
two 16's are installed should they be on each side of the FF or front
and back?  Finally, is one FF sufficient or two?  If only one front or
back?

The aim here is to ensure when we are at broiling places like many of
the International Rallies that we can be "somewhat cool".
