Woo Hoo!! I figured out how to make my Fantastic Fans into reversible models ...and the first one just cost me $3.98 plus some wire and butt splices!!!
We have three Fantastic Fans, and none are reversible models ...don't know if ours were too early or Winnebago just skipped that feature. Two of them have every other feature I can think of except remote control, but no reverse. I finally decided I had to have a reversible fan, and being too cheap to totally replace the control module for $$$ and change, I put my farm boy creativity to the test. After a little internet research, I found a local Radio Shack and bought a 10-amp capable DPDT Toggle swith with a Center Off position. Using wire and butt splices I had on hand, after an hour or so of tinkering we now have a reversible Fantastic Fan!!! Now I need to find two more of those toggle switches so I can upgrade the other two Fantastic Fans!! ;D
