Endless breeze fan

The O2Cool runs a surprising amount of time on those 8 D cells. One lasted me a season of January-April camping where I always had to have air moving on me in the bedroom of my TT.

I'd probably see about a tub of rechargeable D-cells, so I could have eight in the fan, and when on hookups, the rest charging.

I also use the smaller, 2 D-cell version. It doesn't put out much air, but it does help.

They put off a cool breeze in just about every situation you run into... Runs a long time on D-CELLS when you run out of power sockets

Even in the winter time I sit one behind the OIL FILLED Electric heater to move some warm air around...



A GREAT PLAN B to have around...

Thanks Roy, I was looking at those also.

I would assume that the outlets are probably wired to the house battery as is the radio, but I could be wrong.

I travel with my dogs, to dog shows, trials and such so I use a lot of fan power in the summer without the benefit AC or a generator. I rewired the battery connections of my O2 cool fans to run off a cigarette lighter plug so I don't need to buy expensive batteries. Both have fairly long cords I picked up at Radio Shack to reach from the floor between the seats of my van all the way to the back windows if need be. I always travel with a portable power pack (sears) that I can plug them into and run fans for the dogs. The power pack will power two fans about 20 hours without a single burp. Hope this setup gives you an idea or two to help find a solution that works for you.

Bryan - Read this from a review at AMAZON

"What you don't know is its power draw and that's a big deal to those of us living inside battery constraints. I have measured it and I'll share:

low: 15 Watts or 1.25 amps @ 12 VDC
medium: 27 Watts or 2.25 amps
high: 35 Watts or close to 3 amps"

Thats a pretty big power drain running high speed and you know it will be run all night long haha...

My 10-inch blade O2COOL fan will run full time a good two nights on one set of D-CELLS - I forget how many D-cells it uses - at least four each

NOTE: just checked my O2COOL for batteries. It has eight D-CELLS in it haha.. This is sounding like my tent camping days - we would carry a hugh action-packer box with us plum full of D-CELLS batteries haha.. Everything back then ran off of D-CELLS...
