It worked so well for me I never gave it much thought until it didn’t close in the rain one day. Climbing up on the roof I found that the rain sensor, a PC board about 3/8” wide and 2.5” long, was crusty black with crap. Giving the sensor a vigorous cleaning set things right again, but only for a while. I leave the vent open most of the time and, even though we are out in the boonies here, the 39th dirtiest coal fired power plant in the country is about 12 air miles away from us. (The operators claim that ranking is unfair because this is a large plant with three big boilers and on a per-megawatt basis their ranking would be much better, but that kind of double-speak doesn’t do much for the people living under this dang thing!)<br />greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960238893013776630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719803707314253077.post-9335640863192088522014-10-06T09:48:49.373-05:002014-10-06T09:48:49.373-05:00That's very interesting information on your AG...That's very interesting information on your AGM batteries because they are suppose to be the "cream of the crop" in RV batteries and a much longer lifecycle than 3.5 years. Well worth taking a chance on a pair of group 27 deep cycle batteries.<br /><br />While my Class C was sitting winterized last winter in Indiana, I spent time inside the rig at times and checked for leaks, mice traffic and my electrical system. Everything was hooked to house power. But being a RV rookie, the Fantastic Fan drove me nuts. It worked when I bought the rig in September but wouldn't work in the winter or spring. I couldn't figure out what was wrong by reading the information from their website. It was another reason that I started thinking maybe the Class C had too many "moving parts" for my older brain to maintain.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08464723652295679622noreply@blogger.com
