Fan-Tastic Vent Fan

Replaced my living room vent and bath fan in my 2011 outback with Fan-Tastic Vent Fans. I really like'm. DW is too short to reach the vents to open/close so the remote controls are nice. :rolleyes:...

Great choice Poppy. I have been looking hard at the 337 Reflection.

Best of Luck & Happy Camping.

We too turn on lights and set timers and turn the water OFF where it comes into the house.
My big phobia is having an bored youngster turn on a faucet outside and leave it running. :rolleyes:

Congrats Gramps
Glad all went well.
The ball joint clamp is definitely a must in my mind.
Too bad the manufacturers just don't do it right the first time.

Yes, with the Dexter Kit you would need two (2) for a double axle. With the Mor/ryde kit you get
two extra wet bolts, because you don't need to replace the center bolt in the equalizer.

As I read the instructions that came with my kit, it says to use anti-seize compound on the installation of the equalizer bolt. Grease does not make it to that bolt. Different torque as well.

Dirt Devil

I installed a Dirt Devil Central Vac in my Outback 277RL TT.

Well worth it. ;)

Champions

If I can stop my 2 Champion 2000W gens from leaking gas I could tell you how they work. One bounce in the truck bed and the float sticks. Considering a Honda ! :o
