2016 FR3 Wiring

[Edmo]

Sooo, I installed my first fan in the fr3 using the wiring that was provided and all went well.

Was planning on putting the fan in the
bathroom but to my surprise the bathroom seems that it is not pre wired. Hmmmm, wouldn't that be the first place you would want to place a fan? Poor planning or laziness on the manufacturer?

I had to dig around a bit to find the wiring in ours. Was taped and tucked back about 6 inches from the opening.

Mine was back in just a little on the side. Keep looking.

Really, ok thanks because I looked in those tight spaces but I probably missed it. Thanks

It's hidden in there somewhere Edmo. I fashioned a hook out of a wire coat hanger to dig around and fish it out.

Where to start digging , is it near the center close to door or near light or where ?

[Edmo]

Got the wires, very well hidden

Thanks all

We were just talking this weekend on how we miss our Fantastic fan from our old Class C.

Are you saying that the FR3 has the wiring already in the roof? If so, I could install the fan myself and save the labor charge.

My rig is 2016 FR3 30DS.

Yes you can do it yourself. Just installed two fans with the help of all the good people on this forum.

Each vent should contain two wires tucked between the roof and the ceiling.

The bathroom wires were tucked back approx 5 inches.

Good luck.

Sometime after 2014 FR read the forum and heard us complain and they started adding the pre wires for the fan.

Sadly mine did not have it so I tapped into the lights. This means I have to have the masted lights with on for the fan to work.

Hey guys what color are the wires and where do they run near front , right or left side back of the vent opening ? Pictures would help. thanks

[Edmo]

Brown hot and white neutral

Same here in our 2014 for adding the fan in the kitchen area and bathroom. Fortunately, after some thought, when I added the bedroom fan I was able to run wiring from the fan down the wall by the switch and spliced into the light switch wires before the switch giving me the 12V without turning on the light.
