Ceiling Fan

I didn't see this addressed anywhere, My bathroom fan in my 05-26SS Greyhawk sucks air in instead of blowing out, seems strange. Is the fan motor reversible or can the fan blade be turned over?

We have a 16 31DS and it does both. We had that one replaced with one that automatically adjusts speed based on heat and humidity. Well worth it. Also had covers put on the vents

Sounds like somebody reversed the wires. If the + and- are reversed on a 12v dc motor it runs backwards.

Ours pulls air in also. On my to do list to pop up and see if switching the wires reverses the flow too.

Thanks for your answers. I kept thinking in my head that it was 110 volt which you can't reverse, after deciding it was 12 volt, simple fix reverse the black and white wires...BINGO! now I can blow the foul air out instead of contaminating the whole coach.
Hint, rather than take everything apart, I just cut the wires and re-spliced white to black and black to white. May be confusing to someone else but so easy.
