12v Oscillating Fan

Post by cleagarr »

Hi

Does anybody have one of these in their van? My main blower is shot and today really felt the need for something (which is a good thing!).

Looking for a recommendation/ comments on whether they are any good or not...?

Cheers.
All I ask is for the chance to prove that money won't make me happy.

We have a cheap and cheerful one that sticks via a suction cup to our CB radio and wafts oscillated coolness while on our summer jollies 8) It goes away when we get home along with out 'toll fee tin' that's bluetacked to the dashboard.

I thought about it years ago several times, but I decided that with both front door windows open and the fresh air set up correctly through the vents it wasn't necessary. Are all your air hoses connected up to the vents to face, windscreen and feet? Often these hoses work loose, so it's worth checking. Mine are connected so I've never needed to use the blower fan in Summer even in the serious heat in the South of France. I also open up the side windows a bit for backseat passengers down there. A few pesky insects get in but I'm fitting some mossie netting across those windows to keep most bugs out.
