I like this idea, while in MO last month our single AC had a hard time cooling the bedroom. Of course we were in the direct sun no shade anywhere.
Is the fan 12 volt? also is it the type that would work with a multi speed switch?
110 volts, 24 watts, .22 amps
It would depend on what company you buy from and what they offer. I know this company offered a 6 foot lead with a built in on/off switch.

Great idea.
Where did you get the fans from?
Ebay, just plug in what parameters of the fan you're looking for.

One thing you may also want to check is the AC unit itself to make sure that air is going into the duct system and not back up the return duct. In my last mh I found a lot of air was doing just that, was also leaking out the edges of the cover, and that the input points on the ducting were not cut to proper size.

Cool idea!
X2 on what wildtoad said. I spend about two hours with a giant roll of aluminum tape sealing up leaky and poorly installed ductwork. It made a HUGE difference in air flow. For starters, the separation between the return and output air plenums in the main A/C unit was quite porous. Nobody had bothered to tape up the edges of the styrofoam baffles, and most of my cold air was being sucked right back into the intake.
Covered that yesterday in this thread I posted.
