  • 110V Ceiling Fan

    Posted by Michael on September 14, 2013 at 10:49 am

    My coach was pre-wired for 110V Ceiling Fan but the fan was never installed, I am planning to install it Sunday.

    I need to figure out where the 110V circuit is in the bus (I assume somewhere behind the breaker panel) as I believe it is disconnected. I am assuming there has to be a DC to AC relay somewhere that takes one of the push buttons by the bedside and turns on the fan.

    Does anyone have any knowledge in this area that can point me to where the connections are that I need to complete to get the circuit to operate?

    Got the ceiling fan installed, an Emerson Snugger 42″, it sits nice and close to the ceiling and still allows the cabinet above the bed to be opened and not hit the ceiling fan.

    I found the AC Relay box, it was located behind a panel in the coat closet in the bathroom next to the washer/dryer. When I pulled the cover I found the AC side of the circuit all hooked up, but the 12VDC signal (black w/white stripe) that is supposed to come from the DC relay box (driven by bed side switches 7 & 11) does not come to the AC Relay. I took the lower panel off in the closet and found the connector that comes from the DC relay panel and the wire comes to the connector, but the wire is not available on the other side of the connector to the AC relay. So I will need to find a pin now, and then crimp on a wire and run it up to the AC relay.

    And it appears that it might not be connected in the DC relay box either as pressing the switches at the bedside do not drive the black & white wire to 12VDC. So a little more work to do next time I get out there. I had to stop working on this as I had to rip a cooling unit out of a Dometic fridge in the Wanderlodge and replace it with a rebuild Amish cooling unit. That was a small chore, but got it done. Waiting for the expandable foam and heat conductive caulk to cure before I power it with the new unit.
