It is installed. All rv's have fans far as I know, and fantastic fans/vents are the best. Rpods come stock with an 8000 series in the bathroom. It moves serious air. We are going to upgrade ours to a 6600 soon. |

Is the fan portable or installed in the RV? |

Thank you for clarifying. …I also thought that maybe the fan was accidently turned on instead of the air…its awful…I really feel for them …Me and Papa Bear have discussed that if we are camping in hot weather will leave our Sadie girl (golden doodle) home in an air-conditioned house with a pet sitter…This situation had to be very difficult for her to post so I would like to thank her for the warning.

Mama Bear, welcome. Fantastic Fan is a brand of RV exhaust fan.

We got our pod in the middle of August four days after this was post, so in order to ensure our guys would be safe I did some tinkering with the
thermostat and have found that my unit has to have the fan set to auto
for the A/C or furnace. When ever it is set to high or low only the fan
is working.

We have brachyceohalic dogs as well that don't do well with extreme heat. I am convinced that the AC/thermostat are safe if working correctly and set correctly. Any system made by man is prone to failure, and for that matter there is no guarantee that the electricity at the campground will not fail or that some joker will not unplug the camper or shut off the breaker on the post. I like your suggestion of having someone check on them if you are gone.

I have left our dogs in our RV for many hours. We leave windows open as well as AC going,,,just to be on safe side. Better to have chilly dogs than hot dogs...especially pugs. If going to be gone for the day, I have someone check on them. It isn't an option for us to leave them home.

I'm glad people are still discussing this post. We will be traveling with our dogs and I am a bit scared to leave them in the pod if we can't take them. I am considering finding local kennels if we have to leave for the day and it's too hot.

We nevewr heard from this poster again, so anything I say is just a guess. The psoter said she was running the air then set the fan to High. Air and Fan are controlled by one thermostat, and my guess is that changing the fan speed moved the unit to fan and turned off the air. The closed up pod and Texas summer heat resulted in a sad outcome.
It took me a little while to get the hang of the thermostat. I recommend you work with yours until you get reliable results. In my case the problems were with the operator, not the equipment. We also camp with dogs, and rarely leave them alone in the Pod. If I knew I had business of any nature that would keep us away from the Pod all day I would leeave the dogs home. Any time I left them in the Pod I would make sure all environmental equipment was working as I wanted it to before leaving.
