Is one Fantastic fan in the 22FB enough to keep it cool?

We get our new 2019 22FB at the end of June and can't wait. I'm just wondering if any 22 owners can tell me if having only one fan is enough to keep the trailer relatively cool?

One will move a lot of air.

Is there an alternative to having only 1? In my case, if I am in a place where I have the power budget to run 2 fans at max speed...I also have the power budget (aka shore power) to run the A/C.

One thing you may want is a fan to circulate air within the trailer so that you can have air flow on you.

We have 1 fan in our 25' and I think it is enough. when it is time to turn on the AC no number of fans will cool it. I do know people who have and use 2 fans but the trailers are larger than yours.

We have 2 MaxxAir vents on our 25' . They move a lot of air on low speeds , especially when one is blowing in and the other out.

But when you need cooling (above 80*) the ac is the goto.

We find the layout of the 22 makes it quite effective at cooling with the fan. The key is leaving the side windows closed, and only opening the large front window. It creates an amazing draft across the trailer

I just noticed today that the rooftop AC has a 3 speed fan-only function, is that not an adjunct to the FF on those borderline days before kicking in the AC?
