Both ceiling (edit: vent) fans stopped working need help
Both of my ceiling fans stopped working in my 2012 sunseeker 3170ds. I checked the breaker and it is fine. Any ideas?

Sure it's 120vac? More than likely it's 12 VDC and you should be looking for a fuse that serves both fans.

I agree your fans are 12v. Not 120v.

Are the ceiling fans the kind that are in a stick and brick house or are they vent fans?
My 5th wheel has both, a 120v ceiling fan and 12v vent fans.
The vent fans would be protected by fuses, the ceiling fan by a breaker.

They are factory installed vent fans. 12v I will have to locate the fuse panel. Thanks for the help.

Is your battery fully charged and /or, are you plugged into shore power?

When I found out that they were not working I was plugged into shore power. Also don't work with battery power. All the ceiling lights work.
Would you know where to look for the fuse that controls the vent fans?

Since both lost power together more likely it's a common power supply on central fuse panel. Can't understand how both local fuses opened at the same time.

The Fantastic fan fuse is good, the other fan don't have a fuse on it. Both fuses marked fan in the fuse panel are also good. I don't know if there is another fuse to check.

Probably not.
You are going to have to do some circuit tracing and testing.
Depending on your abilities, whether you have the tools necessary and/or if under warranty, you may want to find someone to look at it for you.
