OT,
If your FanTastic fan is like mine with a remote control be aware that even when not in use the fan will draw current via the receiver and run down your house battery. I thought my battery was going bad at first. Now I use the battery cut off switch until I get around to installing a master switch on the fan itself.
That is why I did not get the one with a remote, Thanks for the great tip though, Although On mine a ran the power up to the fan from a wall switch and could just shut the switch off killing all power to the fan, But I could not see the use in a remote.

I installed the water heater today, The Suburban water heater was smaller than the opening hole in the RV wall so I had to re-frame it and where the metal was to big I had to use a piece of the diamond plating to cover the hole, It works, And I added the By-Pass kit to the water heater.

Suspense is killing me, can't wait to see the finished product. Been following this from the beginning and I admire your work and the patience to finish it right. I would tossed it in long ago, not that patient.
