When my 4107 needed a new fan, Spike Michaud got it from Deans Coach in Durham, NC.  I understand Deans is still in business, but I don't have their phone number - maybe someone else can chime in?   Luke, and Ed at Jefferson Bus in Oklahoma City are other potential sources.  None of them are close to Arizona, but there may be other sources, as well.

Good Luck.

This company makes fan blades.  And very good stuff.  Mostly the blades are nylon and plastic.  The new technology is for more blades and a modified pitch.  I changed several 5 blade fans to 8 blades with great improvement in many areas.

Don't laugh but I crossed New Mexico once with 4 breeze box fans, some duct tape and cardboard using my power inverter. Seemed to work OK.
