My first replacement was installed when I first got my camper. I had to put
all the camping equipment back together, and that fan didn't work. I have
no idea how long the original had not been working, but it wasn't working
when I got it. I replaced it with a Gowesty fan, the one they sold the
time, which was exactly like the OEM fan.that one lasted about six years
and started squealing. I replaced it with the metal fan that you see on the
Gowesty site. It's much quieter and works better. I don't know when they
introduced that model, but it has been since I put the original replacement
and 13 years ago
