I suspect that when you turn the washroom fan off, the collapsing magnetic field in the fan motor is generating a voltage spike on that circuit. The spike may be affecting your input power on your Pismo. I would strongly suggest you keep your Pismo off that circuit, voltage spikes strong enough to get by your adaptor's voltage regulator and filters have a potential to cause problems.
