Quick and dirty fan fix

So the blade on the bathroom (Jayco Eagle 319MLOK) fan decided it didn’t want to play anymore… came off the shaft twice. Got to thinking- I used old computer fans to help move air across the fridge coils… 12 volt… dead computer power supply…. Took the (still working) fan from the power supply but the screw holes didn’t quite match. Cut the sides from the power supply case and the actual holes to mount the ps to the case are close enough. Put the fan back on the case, screwed the case to the old fan holes (all 4 stand-offs broke &#128580, wired it up and I now have a much quieter fan! Not sure what difference in CFM will be, but something is better than nothing!! If anyone does this, keep in mind the black is hot, white is ground.
When I get back from this trip I'll do a better job. Might get a slightly bigger computer fan and certainly better fitment. Way too much room between the shroud and the fan.

Current cost: 2 crimp connectors and a half hour of time.

Being able to improvise and adapt is a required skill when you own an RV! Nice out of the box thinking...
