Fan wattage question

When we got our Rockwood Roo, it came with 3 of these fans. Anyone have any idea of the wattage that these take to run? I've replaced the incandescent bulbs with LEDs, but I have no idea the wattage of the fan itself.
  • Interesting looking fan. Never saw one like it before. Is there any label on it stating fan voltage, current, or better yet, wattage??
  • Hehe, yeah, that would make it easy, wouldn't it?

    No, there's no wattage info. It's the light/fan that plugs into the overhead 12V sockets and hangs on the shepherd's pole on the bunk ends.
  • That's not exactly what I was guessing you had. Looks like a toy.
  • Not sure of brand from picture, but Fastners Unlimited lists those at 1.3 amps or 15 watts. Not sure if that was for bulb or fan or both while running.
  • I have these fan/light combos in my Kodiak. Thanks for the ide about replacing the bulbs. The unit gets very hot when the light is shining.
  • You can boondock all weekend with those fans running. I have three, and fantastic fan running in my pup with a group 31 battery.
  • It really depends on the battery and how much more your camper uses. But I get your point. Not all that much draw.

    I'm just curious. I recently got an inverter generator to charge the batteries. It will run the AC, but that's only in emergencies.

    Since this is posted in the Hybrid forum, these are common to all hybrids and popups.
    They hang from the tent end support bar.
