Overhead Fan Switch

Post by Eamonn McG »

Anyone know where I can find the 3 speed overhead fan switch for a 92 b190? I finally figured out thats there was a leak which caused the overhead fan switch (for the cabin not the shower) to corrode. This is causing a short. I took the switch out and everyting is working fine but I'm having a hard time finding a replacement and with summer approaching I'd like to have some ventilation. Any help would be great. Thanks

Is this the Fantastic Fan over the bed? If so, give them a call - they'll usually send you the parts for just the cost of shipping.

Check your Airstream owners' manual. If it's the fan over the bed, I think all of those were Fantastic Vent fans. Only issue is that they'll want the model number, but they'll also help you figure it out (at least, they did for me). Here is their website - you might be able to figure out which model it is from that.

Just wanted to say I just got off the phone with the guys from fantastic fan and could not be happier. I didnt know the model fan I had and I told the guy the only reason the switch I need is shot was because of a leak and it got wet ( which is almost never covered in warrantys ). The person I spoke with's name was Rob, he helped me narrow down the switch I need, told me exactly which wires to hook up to which terminals (because they've upgraded a bit since '92, and is sending the switch absolutely free of charge, they're even paying shipping!!! Just wanted to say to everyone out there that these guys are incredible. Its nice to know there are still people out there who take pride in what they do and care about the customers.....
