7outof10 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 here areis the info about tent fan looks good * Install fan outside tent to pull stagnant air out; or place it inside to pull fresh air in * Adjustable 2-speed airflow control * Attaches to any Coleman tent Cool-Air Port(sold separately) or tent window that has magnetic plates * Kickstand allows unit to be used as a freestanding fan; 10.6Hx10Wx4.5D" * Powered by 6 D batteries(sold separately) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishwater Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 7out- fans are power hogs. If you want something that is going to move air, you're going to draw a decent amount of current. Lehman's has a quality looking 3-speed unit. Other than that, I'd check out RV suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSK76 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ozark Trail O2 COOL, from Wal-Mart it's a 10" moves a ton of air and is very quiet. runs on 8D batterys for a 24 hour run time BUT it also has a 12 volt plug in port on the side (cord not included)and it only draws .4 amps on low and .56 on high and the best part it"s $12.00! if you install over a non vented heater you may want to make sure on high it does'nt blow the pilot light out or keep the fumes near the heater and make the safety device shut the stove downthis happend to me even with the fan as high up as I could put it so I put a vented heater in this weekend.

Neiko Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The Coleman fan I have runs off of 2 d batteries. That 6-D one must be like a Air Conditioner unit. It is hard to say how long the batteries last because I got it towards the end of the season last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Quast Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I just put one in my house last year to help keep the holes open on those really cold days and I have a v front house and I mounted it up in the peak and I just used a 12V 2-speed heavy duty automotive fan from carquest.

Dahitman44 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I bought two small four-inch fans that were 12 volt. They were about $5 each -- good air flow small amount of battery use.I did a search and they pop up.Good choice IMO.Hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phred52 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Iceman16, I have fans over each window (2) and 1 over the center of the cargo door. The ones over the windows keep the glass clear and the one over the door keep it from freezing up. Works well. Phred52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
