Attention Vertical Generator Radiator Owners!
You have GOT to do this upgrade!

I just finished installing a 12v Hayden fan to replace the original
220v set up. What a difference! Not only is the 12v fan something
like 80% quieter, but the original fan was the source of most of the
vibration inside the coach when the gen was running. This is a HUGE
upgrade for the livability of the coach.

Removing the old fan isn't tough...the entire radiator/fan assembly
comes out in one piece on the PT (I think it does on the FC as
well???). This was also a good excuse to re-core the radiator. I
used a 17" Hayden fan I got on eBay and wired it with a Bosch relay,
it seems to put out at least as much air as the original unit (rated
at 2200cfm).

I cannot say enough good things about the outcome in my PT. As a
former FC owner, I can tell you that making this switch on an FC
would work wonders for the amount of "porch" noise with the gen
running. I can now carry on a conversation at normal volume while
standing next to the fan.

Special thanks to Shane F. for educating me on this upgrade. If
anyone would like more details on how I did all this, let me know.
