Got one of these after seeing my buddies...........GREAT FAN FOR THE MONEY.
Nice to be able to hang it from it's built-in hook as well as setting it on it's base.
If it lasts 2-4 years, it's worth it.

They do make them, Mike. This same friend found a window type that he planned on using on the tailgate of his tundra to blow air into his shell. It
was just too noisy and not a very efficient use, despite trying to close off the back end.
Let me ask.....he may be willing to sell it. He ran it with an EU2000.

west marine has small 12 volt fans like the hella, that draw next to nothing and are super quiet, for about half of what the hellas cost. I did not
have good luck trying to run a 120 volt fan off my inverter all night, and charging it in the day.

How were you charging during the day? Solar, generator, generator with an external charger or just running the engine?

I have 120 watts of solar panels feeding 4 deep cycle batteries in the camper, and 2 starting batteries in the truck. I also have an ARB freezer
pulling about 2.5 amps, 24 hours a day, in the truck.Im on the edge.

We use 3 of these in our camper and have been happy with them for several years. Also in the process of installing 2 more near the bed in our Baja
casa which is solar powered.
They only draw up to .5 amps and move a lot of air. They don't oscillate, but are adjustable. Not whisper-quiet, but much quieter
than the cheapie Kmart ones that we used to have to replace every year. They are plastic and very durable.
hese are more pricey (around $60 each) but they've been worth every penny on those hot summer Baja Sur nights in our camper .
It's call a "Hella Turbo Fan" and they carry them at West Marine and boating catalogs.
