Would this be recommended for a small RV bathroom that serves as a shower stall? How would a wet environment effect the fan installation?

I two Composting Heads , one in a boat the other in an RV. On the boat it is a wet shower as you describe . Absolutely no problems or issues using it that way. Jim

Yes, this is how these are used on luxury boats...thegraycottage on eBay has a lot of good info on the applications... Good buy also.

from what i know about the toilet it would be fine in the rv and the fan is vented outside,with a small fan like the size of one from a laptop computer, the poo department is closed with a handle so it shouldnt suck the moisture in from the shower stall.

The fan is entirely incased in the exhaust fitting, on the picture you can see the exchaust pipe on the right side towards the top, the toilet will work fine in a an RV.

This is a powerful (yet compact) fan that should be more than adequate for most restrooms. My personal preference would be for the stationary fan rather than ones that move around.

Hi Topgear88, Check with your local inspection department because some say it's ok but I don't reccomend installing it directly above the shower. I would recommend installing the fan just outside the shower. If your trying to remove the humidity, Instead of a switch I would install a adjustable dehumidistat and set arround 45% to 50% then the fan will turn on & shut off automaticly. Also make sure to correctly size the fan so it will remove the humidity. Mark Innovative HVAC Systems, Inc.

That's what I did. I installed it in sun room. Humidity in bathroom might be a concern, though.

NO! I have installed this one in my shower room and after a while it produced weird loud noise that nothing could get rid off. So I think its not a proper fan for this type of use.

I imagine one could use this fan as an exhaust fan for a bathroom but I wouldn't recommend it... it won't meet code and could pose a hazard as it is not grounded. A typical bathroom exhaust fan is about 50-140 CFM, this fan operates at 110 CFM. Also I don't know how well the fans electronics would stand up to the moist air if the said room has a shower or bath.

The small bathroom that I use my Gurin Electric Compact Dehumidifier is approximately 6' x 6' with a shower, two sinks and a toilet. It works beautifully in that room. It works so well that we no longer put the fan on when showering. My only complaint is that the electric plug gets very hot after being plugged in for 10 minutes or more. I have to unplug it at night and when we leave the house for fear of an electrical fire. Linda D. Florida

You can do a flush mount. We mounted the fan in our bathroom. Eight foot ceiling and a standard door opens under the fan. Supposedly a down rod would increase air flow, but we did not have that option. The fan did help our humidity problem in a tight shower area.

This fan pulls air through it. I have it installed in an outside wall of a bath. Thus air (an moisture) is pulled out of the bath and is exhausted outside the house.If it were installed in the wall between the bath and bed rooms as you suggest, moist air would be exhausted into the bedroom - not a good idea because it could promote growth of mold.

Not recommended for installation immediately above or enclosedwith a shower. It will function well in a snall roon with the shower if ducting is full and open.

its made for a tub to the ceiling, not tall enough for shower stall, so better using it only for tubs to the ceiling hope this helped

As long as you have the room I don't see an issue. Check the dimensions. It's wonderful in a tub. Consider a handheld shower as well. Helps keep things dry since you can't use a door or or shower curtain as effectively.

It not good use in wet location , it still work if bathroom fan is good enough take out all steam

I don't think it's actually rated for wet locations, but I installed mine over the bathtub which is not enclosed and it has been fine. I'd recommend you go to the manufacturers website at http://www.build.com/globe-electric-90057/s871732 , click on the "Question" link and ask them.

yes, I think so. If you can mount it without water intrusion issues then it will work. Great fan, been very reliable. does have freeze protection, so won't work in cold climates to well.

I am assuming your bathroom does not have ventilation and you want to place the fan between bathroom and bedroom. Correct me if my assumption is wrong. I would not do that no matter which fan you use. Either make a vent out or if its a condo and has HOA rules install a ductless fan.

This does not replace the exhaust fan, but I use it in ADDITION to bathroom exhaust fan. I have a very small bathroom and 2 of us take 1 shower per day. I empty it every day and a half. You will be surprised how much water it collects. I think it is just great.
