I've always wondered about adding small 12 volts fans to the cab area. I've seen them on all kinds of motorhomes large and small as well as the big rigs. Guess I'll have to keep my eyes open for some small fans.

Thanks!

Brad

I have 5 of these fans in my motor home:
8" Oscillating Automotive Fan - Chrome / White Finish

Two overhead in the front, and one each over the gauchos and dinette.

Given that they have a sturdy toggle switch, all you have to worry about is getting 12v to them.

More choices here:

I've dealt with these folks twice, and find them honest and very quick to ship.

Happy Trails

John,

Thanks for the info. I'll talk to my wife and see if she would like to get a couple to test them out.

Nothing like staying cool in the summer!

Thanks!

Brad

Cool, since my dash a/c is complete I will leave it on. I have removed quite a bit of other stuff from my engine bay and it is looking good.
Thanks for all the tips.

I suppose a lot depends on the weather where you are.

Here in the UK I have wished for it twice, but realized (after a lot of searching) that the system has never worked since about 1987!

With that in mind I am considering cutting an opening in the front somewhere so fresh air can be pumped in. I am a great believer in changes of air, even so I do use it (AC) a lot in the car - Smaller space/enclosed..... But in the AS the front is like a goldfish bowl so any cooling effect would be good.

I have now removed all engine AC and what a difference! While I was at it I removed the viscose fan in favour of electric.

Overall the car (sorry... MH) drives like a Rolls Royce. It's as quite as a well sound proofed limo, and the air getting to the radiator means cooling is far more efficient. That and a new 180 degree thermostat has really improved the running.
