We put a switch in series with the rain sensor on the Fantastic Fan.
Now we can turn the sensor on and off.

We replaced the stock Fantastic fans on both trailers with MaxxFan 7000K series and never looked back. That also got rid of the ugly "rain cover" for the Fantastic fan on the Classic.

The reversible and ten speed fans are wonderful and the rain protection when open is built into the lid that opens when running.

And today I put in a DPDT switch to reverse the fan motor. Now the fan is even more fantastic.

Very hard to keep up with the SWITZ!
