The fans above the drivers and passenger seats do the job when needed but are noisy. Has anyone replaced theirs? Where can I get replacements?

One of mine started to act up, starting then not starting. Fooled with it some but gave up and replaced both. Bought mine from National Bus Sales in Atlanta. I searched high and low for direct replacements and they had the closest match. Replaced both even though only one was bad.

On third MH. They are all noisy. Also noticed yours is facing back. Does any one know why they were originally installed?
They were meant to be used on the windshield for condensation. Probably before there was good defrosters.

The fans swivel. Forward for clearing the windshield and aft to cool the driver and copilot. Fleetwood fans are noisy because they are powerful. If you want quiet fans, buy the cheap ones. They are quiet but not good at moving the air.

Makes sense. Haven't had to use them to clear the windshield yet but have used them to cool the driver. Will probably leave them as is. Thanks for the info!
