There was a discussion last month about the cost of the fans at £120 ish, which seem to fail on a regular basis. I didn’t take too much notice but then ours broke when we were away in Norfolk last week. I wasn’t going to pay £120 for a fan! My alternative fix was to ask my son-in-law to 3D print the parts (from a design on thingverse), and get a Noctua fan from Amazon.
3D printed parts.
The fan isn’t as loud as the old one (can’t hear this one at all, might need a way of telling it’s on!) or as strong but after a 10 minute test of the toilet vent being open there wasn’t any detectable smell in the little boys/girls room
Due to the configuration of the SOG (we inherited it when we purchased the van) I can only fit a 10mm height fan, anything bigger will hit the cassette and we wouldn’t be able to close the door. I also had to rotate it to a different direction to fit the hose on, again due to it hitting the cassette.
Hopefully pictures will appear below of each step.
All the parts ready to be assembled
Assembled
Fitted - need to get a new hose as the old one is a bit frayed now.
