Solar Black Tank Vent
Anybody tried one of these? I'm wondering about the "it starts and stops automatically" statement. Wouldn't this thing always run with enough light? You wouldn't want it running when stored . . .

i agree with the light it works and no light it is off
wonders if it would be running with a full moon especially if you on an open campsite with no trees.

Why not? Just let it do it's thing. It's not pulling your battery down.

If it ran a lot. I would think that it would quickly wear out.

If it is made in China, it won't last very long and probably a waste of money. Sounds like a great idea until you end up replacing it every year.

In your opinion what do you think will go bad? The fan?
if so I am thinking upgrade the fan with a computer fan.
I added a computer fan to my tt when I had it for airing out the cavity where the converter went .
I cut a hole in the cabinet wall and mounted it to pull air from cavity.
Then added a heat sink inline. You wouldn't believe the hot air that came out.
The computer fan would start about five minutes ahead of converter fan.
