Enjoying your videos! I have a 2005 International 25 SS and added solar this past summer (200 W roof-mounted, 80 W portable panel, 2 Lifeline 8D batteries, Magnum 3000W hybrid inverter) and love being able to boondock without a generator (do have a Honda 2000W quiet model that allows me to run AC if needed). Just a quick idea on your Fantastic fan installation. Because of the proximity of the gray and black tank vents, I recommend you use the one you just installed to exhaust out and the forward one in. Will keep tank fumes from being sucked in. Thanks.

Great point! Unfortunately our front fantastic fan can't be reversed, so that's the only direction it can blow. I've heard that all fantastic fans have been wired so they can be reversed, you just need to add the switch. That may be something I do one day. Thanks for the tip!

In retrospect, I did add the switch to mine (don't remember the model) that allowed it to operate in either direction. Very simple upgrade and pretty inexpensive.

    Steve and Tess love to explore nature, whether it be backpacking, packrafting, mountain biking, hiking, or just wandering.  The more we explore, the more we realize just how little we've seen.
