Yes out of body experience

I understand your frustration, mine started having an out of body experience in at -10 below zero while in Alaskan Interior prepping to travel south. The saving grace for me is that the folks at Outdoors mfg have been A+ and very receptive to helping. This ain't perfect world and I vote with my dollar based on attitude and competence. I've been an outdoor person for over 50 years and in the end all equipment will fail. LOL cajoling and cussing is sometimes the best option.

Since the fuse for it and the refer are on the same circuit I ended up snipping the wire so we could sleep in warmth and peace. Circuit board was replaced under warranty and I really haven't had a chance to use it much because of Covid. Seems to work in the driveway.

Fan stuck on, too much humidity

Our fan was stuck running so I took it apart and disconnected power. This can be done totally from inside camper but try reducing humidity first. The problem was caused by too much humidity, partly caused by insulator in fan area.

Once humidity was lowered and insulator removed the fan has worked normally.

If problem occurs, I recommend removing insulator and venting camper. Allow fan to run to help remove moisture. If fan stays on after this for 30 minutes then I might disconnect power to fan assembly. Hopefully it does not take this long. There are two connector in fan area. One is for power to assembly and the the other is to either raise vent (likely, I do not remember) or power fan.

For prevention, use a humidity gauge to monitor moisture in camper, keep humidity reasonable and don't use foam insulation in fan area when humidity is high.

I had my vent cover in place for January, February and half of March. When I took it out, the maxxfan lost its mind: opening, closing, on, off ect. I figured at the time it was a moisture issue, and wondered if I should get some new parts under warranty. After about an hour it went back to normal and I forgot about it. I wonder now if I should claim some warranty for parts I may need in the future, while its still covered.
