Watch and learn as the RV Geeks show you how to remove, clean and reinstall a Fantastic vent fan in your RVing motorhome.

The fans are used so often and move so much air, that they get really dirty.  Once a year or so, the RV Geeks like to remove and super-clean theres.  In this video they will show you how to make your Fantastic fans look like new.

Having an exhaust fan in your motorhome, travel trailer or fifth wheel is terrific for saving on air conditioning use in the summer, and for removing moisture from the camper in colder weather.

Removing and replacing the fans to give them a really good cleaning requires no special tools or knowledge, and can easily be completed in a half hour or less. Be sure to confirm that all methods
and materials used are compatible with your particular RV.

One Question Asked About This Video That You May Find Helpful Was!

How did you raise and lower the fan cover without running the fan?

And here’s the answer….

Our model of Fantastic fan has a manual control knob. You pull down on it, and then rotate it by hand to raise and lower the lid. When done, you push it back up to re-engage the motor that raises & lowers it automatically. Your fan may be different, as Fantastic has several different models (or maybe you have a different brand). Hope this helps.

Homeschooling classical is a route many parents take when choosing what option is best for home schooling their children. Learn how classical home schooling works for families experiencing full time RV living.

As you’re preparing to go on the road RVing, your child’s education is important. While you have many options, one is a homeschooling classical education. Many parents choose to go with classical home schooling because they have heard that this method, based on history, is an excellent, comprehensive plan of action.

While homeschooling classical education is definitely a great option, it’s not necessarily the only one or even the best one to consider for your kids. However, it is one of the options that should be considered to ensure you make an informed decision while full time RV living.

To help you decide if this is an option that will work for you and your family, here is a closer look at classical home schooling, materials needed, and the pros and cons to consider.

What is Homeschooling Classical Education?

First, you need to familiarize yourself with what a homeschooling classical education really is.

Basically this form of education uses a three part process to help train or education the mind.

This form involves three stages, including the “Grammar Stage,” the “Logic Stage,” and the “Rhetoric Stage.”

During the first stage, which involves the first years of schooling, kids absorb facts.

This is called the “Grammar Stage” because this is the point in time when their foundation for further learning is going to be laid. It teaches kids to learn to absorb information and helps to build a foundation for the next part of a homeschooling classical education.

The “Logic Stage” focuses on teaching kids to think through arguments. Analytical thinking is taught, which requires kids to ask “Why?” Cause and effect is important and kids learn about the way facts all fit together within a framework.

The last stage of classical home schooling is the “Rhetoric Stage,” which is a stage that builds on the other two. This is the point when students are learning about expression and how to speak and write to express conclusions.

It’s at this point where students may start specializing in one area of knowledge, which can occur at a college, at a technical school, or other learning institution.

Through a homeschooling classical education, students are exposed to art, culture, history, languages, literature, and more.

The rigorous study that is involved helps to build virtue in students and allows them to learn as they go on through life, since they have learned proper learning and reasoning skills.

What Materials are Needed to Start?

If you plan to get involved with classical homeschooling, there are going to be some materials you’ll need before you start.

If you want to offer your children a homeschool classical education, it’s imperative that you read the book called “The Well Trained Mind.”

This book is known as the backbone of the classical education movement.

This book is also important because it will go through education year by year, offering advice on what materials and books will be needed and how to use this style to education your children while full time RV living.

After you decide that you are going to provide your children with a homeschool classical education, there are many resources and books that you are going to need to purchase.

You’ll need books that will help you appropriately teach your children, not to mention all the materials needed for your child to use during classical homeschooling.

The Pros and Cons

When trying to decide if a homeschool classical education is for you and your children, look at the pros and cons first.

This way you have the information you need to make a good decision while full time RV living.

Pro #1 – Well Rounded Education One of the main pros is that this option does provide your child with a well rounded education.

It is detailed and will definitely be helpful for most children in the future.

Pro #2 – Prepare Kids for College Another benefit is that this option also helps you to prepare kids for college. Colleges love well rounded homeschooling programs, which means your children will be ready for what is ahead of them.

Pro #3 – Connects with History You’ll also find that a classical education connects with history on a huge scale – more than most other home education philosophies.

Con #1 – Uses Many Books and Materials The main con for RVers is that a homeschool classical education uses many books and materials. Space is so limited, and having a huge amount of materials to store can be tough.

Con #2 – Takes a Lot of Time When you’re out there RVing, you may not have a lot of time to devote to an intensive homeschooling curriculum. Classical home schooling does take a lot of time, especially to do it right. This may not be the best option for those Rving who have limited time.

Con #3 – Can Be Expensive The expense is one of the big cons that makes parents decide against this option. Purchasing all the materials can quickly add up and it can be tough to find deals on materials or to use library resources when you’re on the road RVing.

There is no doubt that a homeschool classical education has many benefits. However, for RVers, it may not be the most practical option. Classical home schooling has much to offer, but if it doesn’t work with your lifestyle or with the learning styles of your children, it will simply be a waste of time and money.
