RV Know How – Caravan Fans
If you are heading away for your summer holidays or just looking for a bit of airflow through your caravan then a Sirocco Fan may be the caravan fan you are looking for. These are a very popular addition to many caravans and are available in white or black to suit your décor.
The Sirocco Fans have some amazing features.
- Small, quiet, compact and lightweight
- Low amp draw
- 3 speeds & 5 timer settings
These caravan fans can be mounted just about anywhere and provide great airflow. Mounting them close to the bed gives you some relief when you are heading into the land of nod. Setting the timer means you don’t have to worry about turning them off during the night.
Sirocco fans are easily one of the most popular Caravan fans available today.
Fantastic Ice-O-Cube may be the caravan fan that you are looking for. This is a compact evaporative cooler, while not as effective as an air conditioner it certainly works well to cool a small caravan, pop top or camper. I even use one in the garage during hot weather!
The Ice-O-Cube can run off 12 volts, 240 volts or on its own rechargeable internal battery, making it a very portable and able to be used anywhere a cool breeze is required. The secret to cool air is keeping the water cool. Using chilled water or putting ice blocks in the water compartment adds to the effectiveness of this great little cooler. Excellent to use at night in your tent or camper. The Ice-O-Cube can be used as a two-speed fan or just as a cooler.
If you have a Jayco Camper or Expanda then the Fan/Light combo may suit your needs. This plugs into the jack on your existing light and clips onto the bed pole. Incorporating a fan and a light in one neat unit. Providing a light for a bit of night time reading and a cooling breeze at the same time.
In warmer climates even your fridge will benefit from having additional airflow. A Fridge Fan is a great investment to improve the efficiency of your caravan fridge. Fridge fans are installed at the rear of the fridge and move air over the cooling fins of the fridge. Air movement is important to allow the fridge to work more efficiently in keeping your food and drinks cold.
Even if you have an air conditioner fitted to your caravan you may not always be able to use it if you are not on a powered site. A caravan fan is a worthwhile accessory to have to create air movement while you are relaxing at your favourite holiday spot.
