The 6 volts that drops upon load tells me that the circuit is broken somewhere. I had that recently and found an in-line fuse near the RV battery that was blown. The burned lead would conduct a small...

Thanks for sharing your experience with the Maxairre covers. I will likely do that soon. I have to decide if I’m going to place any solar panels on the roof. I understand that the covers can shade...

Hadn’t thought of keeping a spare lid. I put in two Maxxair fans which have much thicker lids, but having a spare on hand is a good idea. Thanks.

I am aware that I can buy a new one. The problem for me is two fold. 1. It is in warranty. 2. It is less than a year old. Is this a part that has to be replaced every six months? Does everyone else...

I think you are onto the problem. It sounds like the breaker is weak, or you have a cut in the wire that is shorting to frame, causing the trip. If your 40 amp breakers don’t trip, then it can’t be a...
