I just bought an Aristocrat Lil Loafer. So no 12v, just a 15 amp. Is there any type of fan I could put into the manual ceiling vent?

I've heard of 6 volt, 12 volt, 110-120 volt and 240 volt, but never 15 volt. Sorry. Can't help you. But, why don't you call the Fantastic Fan people and see what they have to say. A terrific company. Good Luck.

I am guessing by "15 amp" you mean 110v campsite plug in and you are saying there is no power to the roof area where you would install a fan. If that is the case, getting a permanent connection might be difficult so what you might consider is using the Fantastic fan as a vent only most of the time. However add a plug so a 12v extension wire could be used when the temperature warrants. This could be removed and stored when not in use. The Fantastic fan is great when needed, but often, just an opening vent is plenty.

After removing the old vent, I was able to look into the 3" space created by the roof joists. I was able to reach a wire that leads to a nearby 12V overhead light. The lights have a switch on them (that is, I don't have a wall-switch), so I could tap right into the wires. You won't regret installing this fan. It's amazing. Fantastic even.

The fan has a connector block that accepts a stripped end, which is then screwed down with a set screw. The block doesn't have a ground, so only a 2-wire cord is necessary, and the fan draws very little power, so a beefy cord isn't necessary. Best would be 2-wire into a GFI socket or 3-wire with ground to the housing.

It requires 120V 15 amp circuit. I installed 12 of these exhaust fan and I would say it is noisy. The sticker on it says that it is 2.5 sones so do not expect anything better.

I didn't use the fan. I needed an exhaust fan that would exhaust to the outside atmosphere..........not room to room.

Hi Raegan Isaac, thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 96.76" in order to meet building codes. If your ceiling is lower than 96.76" (at 7.5 feet you're at 90 inches) then you may need to add a flushmount adapter. If you cannot find what you need to make this fan work in your room, please give us a call so we can check to see if there are any further alternatives. Our experts will know exactly what to do. Oh, and they're sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

Hello - I realize that you posted this comment some time ago, but I'm hoping you may be able to help me. I bought this fan a couple of months ago but only recently hired someone to install it while I was away on a trip. Turns out my 1948 house has the 2-wire electrical, so my contractor simply purchased a different fan. Now I can't return this one. To use it, what did you do? Did you purchase a different type of remote and if so, what kind? Thank you!

You need a 12VDC power supply - could be a wall-wart you might already have, or some other power supply. I found an inexpensive 12V power supply on Amazon that I used in my project that powered the fan, as well as some other circuitry (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FH54L6/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1). Then you need to wire the fan to the supply - either solder the wires, use terminals or wire nuts, etc.

I would look for an infrared "radiant" heat source. If propane works then the previous responder is right. If you need electric then you will want a radiant heat source. The "ProFusion Heat Ceiling-Mounted Workshop Heater with Halogen Light - 5200 BTU, 1500 Watt" is the style I would recommend. Anything with a fan isn't going to be much use unless you can have pointed directly at you, but then you might actually get hot. This 5600W Portable Industrial Heater is a 240volt unit so a place to plug it in can be an issue. The item I mentioned earlier is 110/120 standard wall outlet plug in. If you mounted a couple of those on the ceiling at the end furthest from the house directed toward the house I think you might get what you're after.

You might be lucky enough to have a trailer where the manufacturer led a wire up to the vent area in anticipation of you wanting to put in a fan. If not, I would have to defer to a good RV shop. Good Luck!

depending on your room size and how fast you want the hot air out? These kind of inline blower boost fans are good to an extentlike in bath rooms,closed space,garages,where it takes time but the operational cost is minimal. If you have larger area,you are looking for a 10to 24 inches diameter window mount exhaust fans with louvers outside built-in and th cost can run you $120 to 300.GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL.com 8889787759 check out site. Home depot/Lowes/Harbour Freight offers portables under $100.

probably too late to give you some advice, but a computer case fan is 12v and can be wired to run directly into a vehicle cigarette lighter outlet. you could hook up quite a few before you would draw anywhere close to what a 110v fan will draw.

I love this little fan. It is not noisy. I purchased this for work. No electrical appliances are permitted only battery operated. Would buy again if it goes bad. Hope this helped in your decision. Sorry it took so long to respond, computer out of commission.

I really like this Bestek device. About the 20 inch fan, it's all about power. Realize that it takes 12V DC and makes 120 AC. So if the full 150 Watts is being used, there is well above 10A of current going to the lighter plug. Your fuse may only be a 10A fuse. If you plan on having the fan on while the car is off (if it's possible, most lighter plugs turn off when the car is off), I'm not sure how long the battery will hold up. You may find that your car does not start.

Remember this is a DC 12 volt fan so just connect one wire to the positive terminal of the battery and the other to the negative terminal. You may reverse it depending on where (direction) you want the air to flow. Put a switch on either wire and you're all set. Just a heads up, I think this fan is too loud to be used as an indoor fan. Good luck.

Don't really know what your question is...but if you are asking about the electrical hookup- it is 12V DC so you need a circuit to wire to. The fan works great.

The fan only operates with a plug in cord; however , I purchased, on line, an individual light switch module that plugs into any wall outlet that allows me to turn the fan on and off without actually operating it at the fan base. This switch module was necessary because I mounted the fan 12 feet above the floor (Cathedral ceiling) in order to better circulate heat from a woodstove. I have these portable switches through out the house. Saves a lot of re-wiring.
