    Ray, If you only new how much I appreciate your video’s. When I view them it gives me much more confidence to the task in hand. The new fan install on Love Your RV is great. When we got our cougar and I went to set out a bad odor on the throne, I seen the fan over head. As we’ve used the cougar I thought how handy a fan in the living are would be. Well you’ve answered my notion. Now just wait till it warms up and follow the leader. Once again thank ya.

    Thanks! 

    One thing to consider if you put it in the living area of a fifth wheel is it will be very high up. I’m tall enough at 6″1″ to reach the controls, but just barely.  They do have a version with a remote control, little more costly though.

    Or you could do like us short people (5’3″) and use a step stool. ha!

    Thankfully I live in a classy, and I can reach the ceiling just fine.

    Hi guys, Our Classy Miss Lilly has one of those remote controlled fans over our over cab bed and we love it!

    Set the thermostat and it takes care of itself and the inside temp. Love the auto close in wet weather feature.

    Ray:

    Which type of eternabond tape did you use?  Checked the web site and there are several types available.

    It was the white Eternabond which said good for EDPM rubber roofs like mine. I got a 50 foot by 4 inch roll. Here is a picture of the roll.
