I am currently attempting to rewire the Fantastic Fan to new solar in 5 year old Scamp so I can use it when boondocking. I noticed there are three 20 amp fuses, one 15 amp, and one 5 amp. Does anyone know which DC line runs the fan? Any help would be appreciated.

Wiring to Fantastic Fan
This is what I found on mine but not all Scamps are built the same .
I will attempt to wire to the second 20 amp wire circuit. Thank you very much.
There is no need to change the wiring. The fan and other 12 volt appliances get their power from the battery...not the solar panels. You just need to hook up the solar panels along with a charge controller to the battery. It's also a good idea to install an in-line fuse in the wires that go from the solar panels. The solar panels will help keep the battery charged. As long as a Scamp has a 12 volt battery, it is already set up for boondocking.
(that I missed) That way you can also run your fan at night when you are trying to sleep. I set the fan to flow out and then sleep with my face in front of a widow. If needed I can also add a 2nd 12 volt fan blowing on my face.
