Just finished installing a ceiling fan in the bedroom of our 04 DS. After several calls to Newmar for information on ceiling structure I went about installing a 36" remote ceiling fan. The fan had a three point fastening structure, so I made sure that 2 of the fastening points were in line with the cross beam ceiling strut. I accessed the ceiling by removing a fluorescent light fixture and an adjacent duct from the AC unit. For fasteners I used 2 self tapping screws for the metal slat in the ceiling and 1 Bolt with a large washer and a lock nut for the third fastener. Since it was a 12 volt system I took my power from the light power line adjacent to the fan and ran it above the ceiling....all was readily accessible thru vent and light fixture openings in the ceiling. Patience is a good ally when doing this, but it is doable and works well. FYI
