Ordering a Fan-Tastic Fan

[shastagalns]

I have a `61 SC and I'm placing an order with VTS. This is the first of many basic questions I'll be asking Be gentle with me.

The Fan-Tastic fan...what options do I want? Should I go with the 5000? 6000? What kinda lid and what the heck is garnish type? I'm pretty sure I have a "curved ceiling" but I wanna make sure before I place my order that I'm asking for the right one.

Thanks

you know they are 12 volt right? I got the one with three speeds that is reversible to blow in or out.

go here for a detailed description of the different fans and what they do. www.fantasticvent.com/products/products.html

and as much as I love VTS, places like adventure RV have them for 20.00 less. if you shop around deals can be found.

and ebay has the 4000 for $116.99 and 21.00 shipping

Thanks so much for your response. Don't assume I know anything

I'm on the east coast of Canada so I'm not sure that we have the same resources that you do in the US. I'll check out your links.

I got the one that has the manual reverse and it works great, the 4000 R, I have a 1956, the are where the fan goes isn't really curved so no worries on that score.. Don't really need to go with the thermostat and auto controls....seems like overkill in a smallish trailer.

I rewired my whole trailer so that all the lights operate on 12v and then I use the battery most of the time cause we like to boondock. No need to pay for pricey RV parks!

I use the 4000R in all my trailers. Great Fan and Wonderful customer support!!

Thanks so much for the advice. I think I'll be going with the 4000. I'm really starting out here with NO KNOWLEDGE about electrical systems and...well...a lot of what I'm reading here I don't understand yet. I'll be asking a lot of questions.

Thanks again

You are exactly where I was 8 months ago....it's a steep learning curve but stick with it and you'll get there with everyone's help.

Only dumb question is the one nobody asked.

Please post up with what you get. I am interested as I may order one too. Too bad we arent closer to share shipping over the border.

I just checked the price for the Fantastic Fan at my local RV place...$341.00 for the 4000 model!!! and for 20' of 3/4" Butyl tape...$31.00!!!!!!

Canadian dollars are just about on par with US these days, so that's f****n' NUTS!!!

So much for shopping local.

wow! that is just crazy, although I have seen a big difference in price on line, not that much.
