arrived with a faulty switch.ĭissappointing considering the cost, but I eventually found a replacement locally. Last one I ordered was beginning of Summer 2011, sadly. Moves a good bit of air.Ĭan be removed from its base and stored out of the way when not needed. I will be doing that as I'm adding lighting, 12v and USB power to the upper bunk, and some cabinetry mounted to the ceiling, namely just as big as the porthole when the bed is folded. I already have a new seal kit, skylight hardware. I was going to camping world to get my grubby hands on it, measure the fiberglass for it, and see if its a worthy upgrade. Yea, that fantastic comes with a nifty remote. If you can find a wrecked high-end Saab you might find a solar powered roof fan designed to suck hot air out of the car when parked (capacity of batteries in series is not additive)Ĭorwyn wrote: I have this one I use when stationary:įan-tastic makes some very nice, efficient RV permanent-install fans as well, I have one that will be put into the pop-top roof at some point in the future. The fan shown seems to have a very low amp draw. A d-cell battery is rated for about 12000 mAh. If the fan runs for say 20 hours on 8 d-cells, it should not draw down a large 12v ballery very much. I'm thinknig of a truckers fan on the dashboard for on the road. They've been dropped, bumped, and generally abused but still work. I like to leave one on overnight, and can usually get two nights with 8 D batteries.ĮTA: the two I have are pretty durable. They work very well for moving air but eat batteries. I hang one or two of them from the horizontal pop-top bar with bungees so that they blow fresh air in through the screen. I have one of these, runs off of 12v and batteries. They move quite a bit of air, and are commonly very low draw.ĭefinitely somethin we're going to need as I nix'd the AC. I'm even debating on PWM controller based ball bearing fans for Computers. I plan to use it in the van with all the windows to use for positioning. Ours came with a clamp mount and a suction cup mount and we only use the latter. They sell replaceable blades that take 30 seconds to change. Like if the kids jam a duffle bag against it while its running. The fan gets bonked a lot and eventually the motor shaft spins in the propeller. It has lasted 15 years, and is on its 3rd set of blades. We have a 2 speed one with the white rubbery blades that we leave on all night every night in the boat when we sleep. No idea about efficiency, but another vote for Caframo for quality and durability. If you are near a West Marine I suggest you go see. I thought the best was the Caframo Bora 3 speed ($84). The smaller cheaper fans tend to be quite noisy. I was checking these out at West Marine recently. I'm looking for 12 v mountable fans to shoot the breeze on vacation.Įfficiency and CFM dont always go together, nor are very reslient to damage, vibration, failure.Ĭurious what you guys are using to stay cool in the heat?Īnyone get all scientific and measure voltage draw?
