Bedroom Fan

Hi Everyone,
We have found that our bedroom in the front of our 19RR can become very warm even with the window open. We find ourselves without hookups most often so cant really run the ac and the bathroom fan burns up my battery rather quickly. That all being said does anyone use a 12V fan that actually moves air and could set at the end of the bed?
Thanks in advance!

These work very well. They can be charged via a 12v or 120v connection, can run on the internal battery or while plugged in (12v or 120v), and the battery life is pretty good. I've had it run over 8 hours on low speed on the internal battery in the fan. It also can take D-size batteries, if you want to use them, instead. It will run quite a while on the D-batteries. Lots of options on how to use it!

Oh, you can also plug in USB items to it to charge them. Of course that will leave less for the fan, but it is a very good general use and emergency fan.

We have the Fan-Tastic Fan Quiet Breeze. We set it on the counter top and aim it to the bed. Love it. I think it's the same fan they put in the overhead vent fan.

I made a nice dresser/table fan from a high CFM computer muffin fan.
Put a couple of angle brackets on it and screwed it to a small piece of plywood for a base and added a 12v cigarette lighter plug.

Moves LOTS of air and uses little battery.

We have one of these--
12 Volt Oscillating Fan | eBay

Just google 12 volt oscillating fan.

I can't say how many watts they use but they are 2 speed and on hi will
rustle the sheets!
Can't believe they still make them. Ours is 25 years old at least and it
looks exactly like the top 2 in that ebay page.
Still working after all these years!
