2021 tab 400 bathroom fan on off switch

runaway30

Hi all, I spent several weeks in the Pacific Northwest last spring.  

My bathroom fan started to not want to shut off when you pushed the on off button.  After pressing several times it would turn off.  Sometimes it would turn back on itself. 

I think the electrical connections have rusted. 

I don’t claim to be a mechanic but wonder if it’s a possibility I can clean it up myself?
Any one have experience with this issue?

Do you know the make and model of the bathroom fan?
Your new owners manuals pack should have a user manual to help ID the fan.

TaB 400 components have been evolving fast on this fairly new trailer model so specifics of your build would be helpful.

If you have the maxxfan dome fan then you aren’t alone. When we first purchased our 400 it stopped working on the 2nd trip. A little jiggling of the button (and some other things I can’t recall) made it work again and it has been fine since then. If I remember correctly I had to gain access to the backside of the power button and play around with the contact.

I replaced my switch with a toggle switch, the original push button switch is cheap and prone to failure. A month later the fan blade spun off the spindle and I had to glue it back on. Eventually I put in a warranty claim and Nucamp sent me a new fan. Note, they don't use that fan anymore and they sent me another type of fan with a new housing that needed to be installed.

I have the factory installed basic fantastic fan that came with the camper.  I don’t have access to it right now or the manual as it’s all on the trailer.
Sorry.
 I can say it’s very loud not a bad thing for a bathroom fan, I feel like it’s a single speed.  I sure it’s the same one everyone replaces.

Can I get to the switch connections from the inside without affecting the roof caulking?

Thanks everyone for your help.

yes, you can replace the switch from the inside just drop it down, not difficult at all, just a few screws.

Hello all. 

We've been experiencing the bathroom fan switch issue with our 2022 Tab400 and read that you can access the switch from inside the trailer.  I was able to remove the outer flange for the fan with the light switch and the screen plate held by the 4 small Phillips screws but I can't see how I can remove the faulty switch itself.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.
