Just an Idea!

Don't you have a fantastic fan in a ceiling vent? It would move a lot more air than a ceiling fan.

I don't think the ceiling is high enough.

I guess a ceiling fan would help..lots of RV's come with them as standard equip.

Or...how about a small, portable, stand alone, plug in A/C unit for your bedroom. They come in all sizes for cooling 100sq feet and up. No install. When you are done camping, take it home to your stick and brick.

Lowes, HomeDepot, Walmart, Best Buy...

Not a fun thing to walk into!!

portable ac is great my company has them in there vans. it,ll cool a full size van on a 100deg day.

My fifth wheel has the fantastic fan above our bed. It works great cracking a window in the back of the trailer and letting the fantastic fan draw cool air through the trailer at night.

I would definitely not be able to mount a real ceiling fan. I can reach up laying in bed and almost touch the ceiling.

I can't believe folks put air conditioners just inches above your head in the fifth wheels but alot of them do it. I'd get head cold for sure with an air conditioner blowing directly on me while I sleep hehe...

The best small portable fan we have found to use around our trailer was one of those 10-inch O2COOL 120AC/12VDC/D-CELL battery fans (WALMART-LOWES-AMAZON)... they work great for us.


ALot of folks are looking at using the portable air conditioners now. They sit close to a window and have ducts going to the outside through the window. Folks really like them... All different sizes...

just looked on e bay new about $100. can,t beat that.

You might try just a protable fan to blow the cool air up front back to the bedroom.

As already stated, there is not enough head room for a conventional ceiling fan. Even mounting a low profile 12V RV type ceiling fan would be a problem in the bedroom.

I did exactly that a few years ago. It worked OK in the bedroom of our S&B after dark and I could shut the main A/C off. But it absolutely didn't work in the RV during the daytime. Because while it does exhaust hot air outside thru the duct, it also has to pull in outside air to replace what is exhausted, so when outside temps are hitting 100F, it just cannot cool the incoming air sufficiently to keep the RV comfortable and just adds to the burden on the roof top A/C (which is a closed-loop A/C). BTW, I also looked at a portable unit with both intake and exhaust ducts, but the instructions stated that when intake air temp rises above 85F, the intake duct needed to be closed off, otherwise the unit would overheat.
