well I was hoping to test them today but then I got the bright idea to hack into my beautiful wiring harness I made for the fans to put one on a relay to relieve the load on the controller. I told myself this would only take about a half hour. well after numerous attempts and a fried relay, blown fuse and several hours later, I finally got the fans back up and running. One now runs at full power, triggered off a relay which is switched on when the other fan comes on, and the other is controlled by the VSC. If I had it to do over again I would spend the extra $40 and use the controller from dakota digital since it can handle 70 amps and mind you these fans need every bit of that as they suck down 30-32 amps each as verified by my current meter.

but man do they cool fast, standing next to the wheel wells when they come on and you feel a rush of hot air flowing out from under the coach. hopefully tomorrow I can find some triple digit heat to test them with...
