RE: [VAL] Fantastic Fan - Automatic?
Quite true! The aluminum vents on my 1966 Safari are still as opaque as the
day the coach rolled off the line in Santa Fe Springs. I actually wasn't
there at the time, but I went to St. Paul HS, just a few miles away.
I would be happy to make it 34 more years on the planet to see the lenses
turn yellow. In the meantime I will be cool from the oceans breezes and
have plenty of soft daylight to light my coach. And, when I make the deal,
some other person who wants these stock aluminum vents to complete his
perfectly restored coach will also be happy. Win. Win.
One more thing. I don't consider a replacement vent cover to be a huge
expense so if I want to keep the yellow out I can buy a new cover OR even a
new Fantastic fan every ten years or so.
