OK Lil Bro,
So make me get up off my "duff" in my nice AC cooled bus and go look!Wink The nerve!Big Grin
FWIW... I ordered the unit from PPL and did not ask for any options so my presumption is that whomever ordered it for PPL asked for the "fan option". Mine has 2.The schematic does not show the connections, however, there are 2 red (+)leads with 1 amp inline fuses that attached to position "j3" on the PC board and come from each of the fans. When you look at the schematic on the refer, it shows J3" as "blank", so I think your assumption that fans were options is a good and valid one!Smile

PS The unit from PPL showed up with a factory seal on the crate so PPL did not alter it in any way. I remember at the time they were griping that Dometic would not drop ship directly to me and they had to order it ship to them in Houston from Dometic, then truck it to me...............as the wife wanted stainless steel and residential handles.
I had two on my 1292.
One on top, wired to a thermo switch attached to the top coil. I hear it occasionally. Gets power from the board.
I removed the lower one when i replaced the coils. It was plugged into a duplex outlet and was probably installed as an attempt to fix the the Norcold recall fix.
Seems to me that it helps direct the heat up thru the vent?
