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

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.

Is the fan portable or installed in the RV?

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.

Not usually, but many here leave the vent cracked open (fan off) and a window or two cracked open during cooler weather to prevent moisture buildup.  There was some discussion here on leaving the fan running with a window cracked open along with the A/C in case there is an A/C malfunction or the utility power goes out.  The fan would still run off of the pod's battery.

With the air conditioner you can circulate the air in the pod by running it in the "fan" settings without running the air.  I think that may be part of the confusion in this thread.  Two different built in fans.

Most of the reason we are going to upgrade is so if the a/c quits, the thermostatically controlled fantastfan will come on and start pulling air through the trailer ... we currently leave the fantastic fan onlow.and.a.window open,even with.a/c running, just in case ..

These are half off right now for Black Friday. The website says it works with verizon.  I have ATT&T but would consider switching.  Can you tell me how it works?  Do you have to buy an extra data plan for it?
