RE: Not an Original Idea!

[Turn Key]

 
Was just watching " RV Today"  on OLN a few minutes ago.  Show centers around new ideas and rigs, mostly for motorhomes.
 
 Watched them do a demo on mounting a muffin fan to cool the  fridge coils.  Not that that was all that surprising except for the fact that the announcer and the guy doing the demo acted like this was something all together new!  Guess they didn t know that this has been going on in the PU world for 3 years that I know of!  Gotten to be such " old news"  that we don t even discuss it any more on this site.
 
 Hmmm?  Wonder if they " stole"  the idea from us???[][][]

TK, even three years is quite a bit short. The fridge factories have been putting out fans kits from at least the early 70 s and my FIL used a 12 volt fan from a high voltage switching box back then to keep from paying the factory price.
 
 It was for show biz effect. Sounds better having a brand new idea than saying we re going to show you an idea that s years old but a good idea. Just like a lot of the DIY shows talk about their amazing discoveries of things we ve been using for years.
