I've been towing with my 40d for the last 18 months, fitted with a Westfalia towbar from PF Jones, but no fan upgrade. I've not had any bother with it, and it's been all over the UK and across to Spa in Belgium. I'm not sure about those who've experienced the fan turning off - from memory mine stays on when needed, and was blowing away when parked up at the services returning from Cadwell Park last weekend.

Great to hear, we are going on Thursday, travellng to Hull, cross to Zeebrugge and then tow down to Alsace for a few days. Travel to Saint Etienne for a week or so and then up to Paris for a few days. Glad to hear that a few on here have had no issues towing in hot climates.
Looking forward to our holiday now :)
