Ceiling Fan Blades

Does anyone know where I can get replacement ceiling fan blades for my 07 Elite Suite. I have broke two fan blades by sliding the slide in and for the life of me I can't figure out why. This has not been a problem in the past.

If you're in TX, they wilted.
Ours come very close every time.
Should be able to take one of the survivors and shop for a replacement.

I called DRV and sent a set to me. Don't remember how much they cost, but was not expensive. It has been a common problem and I always make sure the fan blades are turned so they will not hit and really watch them when bringing in slide.

Since these fans are useless. We are thinking of replaceing them with a nice light fixture that will not get broken by slideouts when running them in. We have went through many sets of blades.

One of ours nearly broke when it caught on the kitchen slide. The blades tend to loosen up over time. We now check the screws before each Season.

fan blades

i purchased craft maid fan at lighting shop for our 2007 elite suite in bronze tones with better pitch for better air movement and have snapped a couple so we bought an extra set of blades.

After our rig was broken into while in storage at Holiday Hour rv. The dealers repairperson closed our slide and broke 2 blades. What they did was go to Walmart and buy replacement blades that were much wider and heavier. When the fan ran for a short peroid of time a bearing failed. I called Holiday Hour and told them what happened, they replaced the entire fan. So be aware of blade sizes if you buy from other then DRV.
