I have only owned one class a, but never considered installing a ceiling fan.
The normal ones bought at home depot or lowes way so much, IMHO there is no way a ceiling in an MH would hold them.
The ceilings in MH's and trailers really are pretty flimsy
Even in in normal home you need a box that will screw into the studs to install one because of their weight.

Not a class A but our 5th wheel came with a home type ceiling fan. Seems to be just fine after a year and a half.

"......our 5th wheel came with a home......ceiling fan......."

Same here, but I suspect it's a lightweight.
