Ceiling Fan

[1L243]

Anybody installed a 12 volt ceiling fan . I was thinking of installing one in my bedroom maybe where a ceiling light fixture is located.
Any added structure upgrades needed to support the fan?

We had one in our 5er. We had a bedroom ceiling height of 6’ 4” or 5”. The fan was simply too low, plus you had to be aware and slightly lift a fan blade when bringing in the slide. We replaced it with a “much” needed LED ceiling (decorative) light.
For air flow....we open the bedroom slide windows, turn on the Fantastic Fan (drawing out) , and get a nice breeze across our faces while sleeping!

And if that's not sufficient flow you can add a 12v socket near the window and place an endless breeze fan near it, they're a Fantastic Fan in a housing for horizontal breeze. If you never boondock then use a desk fan as suggested earlier.

I installed one in my bedroom from Global Electric

Works great.

Placed a wood block in the ceiling for support.

I used the hole where the ceiling fixture was but still had to fish new wire as the fan uses multiple leads. I mounted the wall switch next to the light switch, so I really just used that wire as a pull cord. Pretty easy, actually. Used power from the light wall switch.

Our 5er came with a ceiling fan - which came with clearance problems. Here's how I fixed it - FAN FIX

When we first purchased our TT, Keystone Outback 298RE, we wanted to install a ceiling fan in the living room. All was going well. Figure I could mount at one of the ceiling lights. Seemed logical.

We found a 12 volt fan and was about ready to buy it, but though I better check some measurements out first. How low did the fan hang... I mean, the lowest point.

Took the measurements off the fan, then rechecked the camper. Well, ... if it would have been installed, the blades of the fan would have been crushed when the opposing living room slides were retracted. No fan was ever installed. Ceiling just simply too low.

We purchased desk fans and use two of them now.
