Dale, our trailers are the same age - we met at GEH and toured each others trailers. We didn't have any problems with our Maxxfan for the first two years either. We bought the trailer without solar...

Ken, I guess we are skipping one of the issues with the fix that is going on. The wiring in some of our trailers leaves a lot to be desired - a lot of errors slipped by "QC" at the factory. Stuff...
