I would like some advice from the experts on this forum. I have a 2006 Monarch SE that has a Fanstic Fan in the gally area. A couple of weeks ago, I had some kids break inti the MH through the fan. I did secure it so there are no leaks, and have been thinking of the best way to cure this Boo Boo. I was going to replace the entire fan, but after reading some of the posts here, would like to hear from some of you about the possibality of just replacing parts. The cover on top is intact, but the arm that moves it up and down is damaged, as well as the blades on the fan and the screen. I don't know the model off hand, but it does have the controls mounted on theside of one of the cabinets, ans does not have the rain sensor.

Can anyone help?

The very best source for parts and repair advice on Fantastic Vents is the company itself.:

www.fantasticvent.com

Call them - they are good.

If the fan blades are broken I am sure the whole assembly will have to be replaced . I would think the arm will not be a problem. As David said call them, they are super folks to work with. I just had a bad motor and they sent the whole unit for me to replace. Took about ten minutes total. Good Luck.

As DavidMc suggested call them direct (fantasitc fan) They are a good customer service company. Good Luck

This topic would probably get more input from the MH problems and solutions where other owners that have the fan might be able to help you out. Not just Monaco owners. So I am linking it there for you.

I'm still scratchin' my head trying to picture that. Were the intruders really really skinny kids?

Me thinks Sacs may be sleeping in the Dip tonight.

itdave · 08-13-2007, 04:30 PM

I don't think she will let him in the Dip I am betting on the Toad

MonacoMama · 08-13-2007, 04:36 PM

...but ...I wouldn't worry about Sacs as much as ...has anyone seen Teofff recently? Maybe Gloria IS reading the posts after all!

SacsTC · 08-13-2007, 04:41 PM

And;;;;;;
After 3 weeks on the 11" thick, 3 density foam matress in the Dip, I am beginning to enjoy it!!!!!
<span class="ev_code_RED">HA, HA</span> Maybe being sent to the other room isn't so bad after all!!!!!!!!!

Just went back and realized that this was a Fantastic fan post!!!!!!! Sorry Ronboc,

Will stop now

Ya know, you're right! Ours came with one of those Select Comfort air matresses. We both HATE those things. We had them rip that out and downgrade us to one of those regular thick 3 density foam pillow-top matress. I could sleep in there every night!
