The Royales, and GM completed coaches seem to have used that same fan. Since we've never traveled in the GM interior coach. Put the new Carrier roof A/C unit in the center opening. Then I'm putting in two Fan Tactic fan roof vents. One at the front, and then the other in at the rear. Wouldn't that negate the need for the bath fan vent. For our 78 Royale with the rear bath. I put in a maxx fan just outside the handicap wheelchair drive in bath. Bob Duahugh

Bob,
couple things I can point out- original insulation sucks and the windows allow major heat gain into the coaches. So if you are dealing with a stock coach/stock insulation and stock windows, I am convinced that 2 A/C units are needed. My Coach has a new A/C in mid hole- and it can keep up pretty well. However, when it is 90+ and super humid, I am very happy I have the 2nd A/C to make the inside comfortable. I hope next year when I get window film on, the 2nd A/C can stay off.
the fantastic fan up front in mine, is usually a spring/fall item, or when we have no plug in. I do not rely on it at all.
Now the 14"x14" Bathroom fan I installed 2 years ago, I do not see how we lived without it. It has nothing to do with how much air it moves... The skylight effect it lets into into our side bath makes all the difference in the world. using it to dry off the wet bath, is only a minor bonus.
so with all your other updates you are doing to that 73, I would say installing a 14x14" fan in the bathroom should be on the top of the list.

Bob, Some owners have removed the tiny bath fan and replaced it with standard 14 x 14 fans. The internal structure does allow this. Slope of the roof is a minor problem. Or, you can add a bigger fan.
Bath fan helps to vent moisture from bath out of the coach.

I'm with Sully. After an afternoon of fellowship, pickled eggs, and beer ventilation - preferably forced - is a necessity in the head.

Bob,
Did you check each of the links I provided?
I sent links to every Maxx fan available and IIRC one of them was $190 can you get a Fantastic fan for less?

Yes Rob. I agree that the Maxx fan is a great unit. We put one in our 78 Royale that we travel in now. Got all their bells/whistles
they offered on their fan. Cost has never played into what we put in that Royale. And have now got to about $41,000 in parts only in
it. Like to put a MAXX Fan in this GMC that I'm putting together. But it comes down to cost on that GMC. And I've already gone
overboard on it's cost. We will never use that GMC. I want to sell it before the Fall GMCMI event in Iowa. Bob Dunahugh

Jim,
Not really:
1) The Maxx fan folds down and is nice looking, the Fantastic fan cover sticks up like a wart on the roof.
2) The Maxx fan with the smoke cover lets in light, I doubt as much light will get through the smoke Fantastic fan factory hood and
a Fantastic fan with a smoke cover.
3) The Fantastic fan with a hood is open on one end, if you have a rain storm with wind that is coming at the open end it will blow
in that end and get in your coach. The inlet to the Maxx fan faces the roof and I reckon it will be damn near impossible to get in
no matter how windy it is.

Rob M.

Rob, by installing Fantastic Fans' factory hoods you end up with the same as
Maxx. The work well going down the road.

The stock fan or stock replacement fan moves a lot of air for the size of room. Put your hand down ny the door threshold and feel how much make up air comes in. As does the cold draft on your feet when showering. Without supplying some additional source of make up air I see no reason to try to increase exhaust air. When you open the door the RPM on the fan drops (moving more air) showing it is allready restricted with the door shut. The added light of the skylite is nice though. But I rarely turn on more than one bulb per side on OE lighting.

Rob. I found 2 basic Fantastic fans for $124 each. If I could expect to get over $35,000 to $40,000 for this GMC when completed. And was a Royale. Then I would put the best MAXX fans in at $390 each. I'm going to sell this GMC in the $20,000, to $25,000 range. All new appliances, Roof A/C, frig, furnace, cook top,12V converter, all seats/cushions redone, entire interior taken out to be redone down to the last board, head liner, carpet, walnut wall paneling, all LED lighting controlled by wall switches, exhaust, all brake/wheel bearings, 78 rear suspention, timing chain, tires/rims, new Howell EFI, gas tanks, fuel lines, 2 fuel pumps, rear disc brakes, and it has a decent paint job. This list is only the bigger items. Go find a GMC like this in that price range. As to labor. I like building things. Now I need to be looking for a buyer. Bob Dunahugh
