Interior Fan

I recently bought a Caframco fan for use in our Airstream FC 27FB. I would like to put it on either the bathroom wall or above the TV, facing our queen bed. Any recommendations on where to get 12V for the fan?

I have two Caframo Sirroco II fans, one on each end overhead cabinet. I took 12V power from the wires powering the reading lights.

How is the air flow? I thought it might be better if the fans were on the foot of the bed?

Excellent. I prefer to have the fans aid in circulation rather than blowing directly on the bed. However, they are easy to aim in almost any direction.

You will be happy with the quietness of the Sirocco II fans and also the timer function.

A DC motor will typically run backwards if the pos. and neg. are reversed. Your best bet is to get and use a multi-meter (voltmeter) to check each wire.
