Has anyone got a fan fitted in their Ultimate Camper?
« on: January 05, 2016, 05:17:12 PM »
My wife likes the air moving over her most nights. Does anyone have a 12v fan in their Ultimate?
How did you mount it and what brand was it please?
Many thanks for any help offered.

Cheers

I use the Caframo 807 Sirocco.  2 conduit clips screwed on the back and then just clipped on the centre bow.  Mounting idea from http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=6508.50 (toward the bottom of the page).

Oldmate should be able to help you here, although I think his idea of a fan inside his ultimate is Lyndal......

I've got a tribe of those sort of fans mate, but they usually are blowing hot air. Dad get me this, honey have you done that  ;D

Looking for something quieter and more effective.

Airflow is excellent for the size of the fan but as important for me is that it is quiet.  It has 3 speeds and 3 auto timers, plus can be pointed in any direction - but it does not oscillate.  There are a number of other fan suggestions in that thread I linked to but the cafremo, although expensive, seems to get good reviews from everyone that has used it.

Hi don't have an Ultimate, but do have a Caframo Sirocco 12V fan and it is very, very good. I also saw this on Facebook this week. No idea if its suitable, but a heck of a lot cheaper! [url]http://www.bunnings.com.au/mistral-40cm-12v-white-desk-fan_p4441703/url]

We use one of these in our Ulti and its powerful enough on low as its about the same size as a typical 240v unit that you see in Bunnings etc. I think it pulls around 1 amp from memory when I tested on a low setting.

I think we bought ours on Amazon though as they were not available here at the time.
