    So I replaced my sleeper (driver side) control panel and it came with a switch for a fan:

    I opened up the sleeper wall and low and behold, I found a harness that had a dust cover on it labeled "BUNK FAN". I connected it and the switch lights up in the HIGH position.

    ...now, does anyone have any idea where the other end is for this or what type of fan (and where) it would activate??

    I had a 98 Aerocab...72"....it was mounted under the upper shelf on the right side, above the cabinet door. On the overhead ledge above the cig outlets and fridge vent.

    Interesting....
    I wonder if/where a harness might be or where I could snag on of these fans...

    Kinda like the old school defroster fans mounted on the dash in the old days, 8 or 10" round (sometimes oscilating) fan for circulation all the ones I have seen have been mounted on the passenger side blowing on you as you lay in the bunk

    Ok..well we did find 2 odd harnesses under the upper bunk window and was wondering what those were for....
    Not sure I want to tear apart the bunk setup again to dig this harness out.

    :biggrin_2556:

    ....that was a ton of work. But at least it's there. Would be nice to find someone with this fan installed so I could see what type of harness I am looking for. I recall one of them was a round harness with 3 female holes in it in a triangle shape. Seemed like a very odd looking connector to me...

    Something kind of like this, but all plastic. Black with an orange/yellow center (from memory):
