Fan on ours kicks in frequently in traffic.
Depends which chassis you have as the heavy chassis uses different final drive gear ratio and has different sized wheels. Standard chassis has 15" wheels and the heavy duty chassis has 16" wheels. Have a look at the spec sheet for you engine on Fiat website and it will give you the gearing ratio

2000rpm sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I can't say I've ever heard my fan while driving. I can sometimes hear the air con switch in and out, obviously the fan can be heard from outside when pitching, but I'd be very surprised to be able to hear it on the move.

thanks very much for your replies, never driven a motorhome before, and knew it would be slow due to weight etc (maybe not as slow as it is) but the rev thing did make me wonder.
You have to remember it's a commercial vehicle and not designed for the race track. Take your time and enjoy the view it really doesn't matter if it takes half an hour longer to get there

Agree completely, always been a sensible driver, so always remember to take my time and to make sure enough of a gap when pulling out into lanes etc.
funnily enough i did see one MH at the weekend must have had foot to floor , cant of been doing much short of 80mph.
