I have a 2004 arctic fox camper, the squirrel cage fan, the one on the inside of the unit not the fan on the roof, wouldn't turn, I moved it by hand and finally got it going. I was wondering if there is some way to oil it or is it just shot. If its shot can it be replaced? Thanks for some help.

The one inside AND the one outside use the SAME Motor....dual shaft
They do not have bearings....just bushings
Yes you can try a few drops of light oil (3 in 1, sewing machine oil etc) at the motor ----which can be accessed under roof shroud

Your symptom sounds like a bad run/capacitor if it is an AC current air conditioner. What type of power does your unit use? DC or AC. Did the motor/fan turn easily or did it seem to bind?

It's ac powered and it feels tight, must be the bearing or bushings going out is my guess.
