Fan-Tastic Create a Breeze Fan
All of my other trailers have just had a regular fan in them. My new trailer has the Fan-Tastic fan which has a lot more power!
I had read on a forum post earlier about never making the mistake of having this fan on when flushing. Is this because the fan will draw "smells" back up from the black tank?

That is correct. These fans can create quite a suction. Now if the fan is not in bathroom, and if you have multiple windows open, and the bathroom door is closed the chances are minimized.

Our "create a major suction" is located in the bathroom. I had noticed with the bathroom door shut, you can feel the air sucking in from under the door.
Glad I posted the question and will be sure to pass the info along to DH!!

I replaced my sewer vent with one of these...
They are spring-loaded rather than being held closed by gravity.

We installed one in the bathroom of our FR3 30DS.... we noticed no problems and no smells.... there is enough room under the bathroom door for the fan to draw air from the main motorhome area.... we did have our ceiling vents open in the bedroom and the kitchen but we have never had a single problem with air being sucked out of the black tank when the fan is on....

These fans are awesome! We use them to bring in our dinette and bedroom slides in. We have 3 and are very happy with them.

Nice to know about an alternative if ever our slide out motors fail us!!!

We don't have the sewer smell issue with our fan on the Cardinal that is located in the head. However, it was a huge issue with the Country Coach.
I can't figure out why but apparently each model of RV is different. Just glad it isn't an issue now!

LOL!!! This along with the comment above that they have the ability to suck a small dog up through the vent certainly describe how well these vents work in comparison to what we have been used to in our other trailers!!

Mine worked well enough in our last trailer that I had them put in a second one this time around. They draw little enough power that I've started leaving both open while traveling and turning one on low while it's nearly 100 degrees outside. Makes a huge difference in initial cool down once we get where we're going.

Our 2015 V-Lite 30WFKSS has a large gap at the top & bottom of the bathroom door. When we were first looking at this unit, it was the only thing I really disliked about the trailer. Perhaps these 2 openings would create enough breeze to keep the smells away!

Small vent window
There should be a small vent window across from the toilet or bath that should be opened when the bath vent fan is running. This will prevent the
black tank or bath gray tank fumes from entering the coach when flushing
the JOHN. It will be a small window with obscure glass that should be opened.
