I don't like sleeping in warm temps...I want it to essentially be an icebox. Our new 44 DLQ has two fans, a larger fan in the bathroom area next to shower and the smaller one (as in your DEQ) in the toilet area.

That is good to know. Thanks.

A friend installed a swivel and tilt bracket for his outside tv on his Anthem. Works great and just enough space to close the door and not rub. He tracked down the right bracket I think it was from Monaco. If interested, he took pictures and sent all info to Joyce a couple of months ago. It sure helps with the sun reflecting. He will be at Hearthside for the event. If interested, send me a pm and I am sure he would be pleased to show it to you all.

I gotta say my Entegra Aspire DEQ does not have The circulation my old Monaco had. I like to have the windows open where possible in the mountains or at the beach but those dinky crank windows don't circulate as much air as my old sliding windows. I'm planning on adding two ceiling fans. One in the bedroom and one in the kitchen but I have to plan real carefully around the slideout rooms and prop clearance. The only downside is the Aspire doesn't have convenient wood trim areas in the ceiling like some of the Anthems so I have to plan it out to avoid the add on look. If anyone with an Aspire has added ceiling fans I'd love a picture. By the way, I like the fantastic vent fan in the potty but I wish Entegra had put another vent in the kitchen so I could add another. It would really help when I cook something oily and that damn smoke detector goes off!

Hmmmm.....apparently Entegra is not aware they will be installing ceiling fans in the bedroom. Wonder where your dealer got that info.

Just talked with the dealer while at the FMCA rally in wy an hour ago and they talked with Tad, who is there and he called the engineer and confirmed they are ready to go, just no suggested retail till next week.

That's why you have an exhaust fan below the microwave

The exterior flap on my exhaust fan was painted shut. Once I opened it, the fan is very strong!

Unfortunately, I broke one latch while trying to free the flap

Regards

IMO, I'm not sure I'd take the option of a larger outside TV unless I did a lot of tailgating. The issue for me is not so much the TV as it's utility. Works great in the evening, although you have to take you neighbors into account in the campground. I find that during the day, glare is a major problem with using the external TV. Looking for a easy solution, but I have not had much success other than to lower the cover to shade the TV.

We use a sophisticated contraption made of a bungee cord that holds the cover at an angle which greatly reduces glare. I think we tied it around the slide joint and amazingly found we don't even have to remove it when we close it.

In reality though we really don't use it as much as we thought we would. Nice to have when we want it though.

I guess we met the same gentleman at Pelican Lake - great addition. He gave me a flyer and said he's be at Hearthside. We plan on doing eventually and getting rid of the bungee cord.

We installed a ceiling fan in the bedroom and it helps immensely. The new, bigger tv is to ship with Bose sound systems in the bedroom and main cabin per the Entegra website and to start shipping in July.

Gene

Any tips on how the ceiling fan was installed?

Ann n Gene · 06-22-2013, 09:06 AM

Corey, sorry, I really do not know, dropped it off at Precision Painting and they put the fan in and built and installed a medicine cabinet in the shower room on the outside of the bathroom wall. Both great improvements and they did a great job.
