Bunk fan for a hot sleeper?

I'm a hot sleeper. At home, I use a ceiling fan when I sleep at night - summer or winter. I'm used to the air flow, and it's hard for me to sleep without it (hotel room, etc.).

We have a 2018 Jayco X23E on order. I'm assuming it has the 12V jacks (1/8" phono) by each bunk. What's a good fan solution for someone who likes airflow?

These little bunk fans seem to be the standard solution:

Lumitronics Combination Interior 12V Reading Light with 2 Speed Fan for RVs, Trailers, Campers, 5th Wheels

but it's hard to tell from the picture how effective they really are.

    Hybrid and pop-up trailers have windows all the way around the sleeping area that unzip and allow air flow in all directions. Might be worth considering.

    Not often, but it's a possibility. The Jayco X23E is a fairly large unit and the A/C isn't ducted, and I've read posts that the airflow from the A/C unit doesn't get into the bunks much.


    It will if you aim it toward the bunks, and open the curtains. Those nonducted AC blow hard. If they didn't. The bunk ends would never get cool
