The round vent fan is called a Vanair unit by Ventline. Most RV centers can get them. I think they sell for something like $60.

We stopped using them because customers just didn't like them. Mostly too noisy, they turn the blade pretty fast to move the air. The Fantastic fan is easily 10 times the fan and that is the fan everyone was asking for.

If you want to spend more there are some pretty nice ones for boats out there. Some even have stainless steel covers on them.

There's also the solar-powered stainless vents; some even have a battery backup to run at night/low sunlight. He one, but it doesn't have the battery backup.

Cary,
thanks for setting me straight. I thought that I kinda sorta maybe remembered seeing a photo of one of your trailers with the round jobbie.

I can just see the newspaper headline..............Tiny Teardrop Trailer Emplodes on Highway. :rofl2:
Chris :D

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.
