No. It is just pushed all the way to the right with a velcro wrap around it. Funny it doesn't show at all in the picture.

We have a few new mods to share.
Added a reverse switch to our Fantastic Fan so we can use it for exhaust or intake.

Hum I like that, is it difficult - or do you simply reverse polarity ?

Hey MiataRed,
Not too tough at all, and I'm no electrician! Take a look at this webpage.

Found it and followed his directions. Got my switch on Ebay for $3.99 delivered. If you need any details just ask as I have several detailed pictures.

I did kind of a dummy thing when winterizing in October but it turned into a small mod of sorts.

I winterized twice with no problems until I read something here about making sure the city water inlet hose had pink stuff in it. There is a check valve behind the washer and screen that prevents water from shooting out if you are running water from your FW tank and pump. Dummy me always curious to see how things work pressed on the check valve while the system was pressurized and got a face full of pink stuff. In the process it dislodged the rubber washer that seals the check valve. I must have sat there for an hour with tweezers and every other tiny tool I have trying to reseat the washer. In the end, I got fed up and ripped it out. Found a matching size washer at Lowes at sat down at the kitchen table to rebuild the valve. Pleased to say everything held pressure properly with no leaks when I de-winterized today.

This old closed thread from the Class A section was very helpful.

Here's the mod.... The rubber flap that covers the fresh water inlet had crumbled apart from the sunlight. So while I had everything apart, I got a tiny piece of stainless chain and a pipe cap and created a new cover.

Added plexiglass across front of the medicine cabinet shelves to stop all the stuff from falling in the sink after being on the road!

Also moded our old Coleman Lantern so we could use it as a Roo patio light in the yard. (That makes it a Hybrid mod!) Took out the gas piping and installed a 5w cfl. Now we can sit in the yard and imagine camping.

I like the clear cylinders that you use to provide vertical storage. What are they?

The things that come to those that wait will be the junky stuff left by those that got there 1st.

Remember; never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
