Re: [VAL] Introduction and (surprise) a question!



I bought mt Fantastic fan at the FL state rally a couple of yeras ago.It has 
all the bells and whistles..In the 1st couple of month they replaced the 
interior workings 3 times before i got one to work eather the fan would not run or 
the crover would nor operate. Finally eavery thing worked and I thought I was 
out of the woods when the fan gave up the goast. Ok the crover still worked ok 
so I just put in a small fan to circulate the air and let the crover open and 
close normaly.one day it was raining I looked out and the crover was 1/2 way 
open I checked and the little motor was running happly but I had to close the 
crover manually. To get the little motor to quir I had to remone the fuse to 
the fan.We got some fsairly brisk winds during the harricane Charly and I noted 
the crover had blown open and lay flat on top og the trailer I taped it shut 
I sar the controll arm was laying on the screen apperantly it is disconnected 
on both ends I Havent looked.
I will say this the compisany had replaced the units with no question I just 
got tired of messing with it If I eaver get to a rally where there is a 
factory Rep I will have them look at it an meby they can get the thing to work. 
untill then I have the trailer stored at my house and have run a dedicated elect 
service to it and keep it pluged in eo will continue to use the serup I have 
now when stored and if the fan eacer works will use it now ans then on trips.
