Don't really know, mounted mine on a wall. Shouldn't make any difference though. Good luck.

I can not answer to this part number as I was sent a different part numbered fan. I have been running my fan in the vertical position and it is doing just fine. It does run on the loud side, but I am using it to draw fumes from my welding table so the noise does not bother me. It might be too loud for your RV. Sorry I could not give you a better answer.

The second sentence in product description, says "Fan can be mounted in any direction".

There was one of these in the home I moved into last year. It worked well enough, but the vent fan sounded like a jet engine. Also, there seemed to be no noticeable sound difference between high and low. My model was made in 2006, so I'm not sure how much they've improved this since.

Absolutely! After I installed mine there was a severe vibration when it was running. I called the manufacture and they had a local repairman out in 2 days and they discovered that the fan had gotten slightly bent during shipping so they ordered a new fan (and motor just to be sure) and installed them at no charge to me. Has been working great since.

Fan is pretty quite. I use it on camp outs and it does not keep me up. Has low humming sound. Hope this helps.

My fan is still waiting to be installed so I can't honestly answer your question, but according to the ratings, the fan should do a great job on that small an area. I plan to install mine soon...........

Absolutely not. My fan makes a whooshing / blowing noise. A "white noise" if you will.

I would definitely look for quieter fan. Scale of 1-10 . 10 being loudest. This fan would be a 7. You can insulate it and make it quieter. There is some really quiet fans out there. Most people use these in attics or in an insulated box. Google it and there is alot of info out there.

it would have to be a small 12 v fan, with low rpm. I bought this for a 30 rpm motor, which turn very slow at high speed, if its a cooling fan, it will not work for you, as cooling fans turn at very high rpm. I suggest you get the specs of the fan, before buying a condroller.

It is a bit noisy. I bought some rubber mounts and some insulation material to mount on the fan............I have not installed it yet but for sure the noise can be curtailed one way or the other........could also hang the fan and use short flex duct .......This size of fan with this much air movement is going to be noisy

I have a unit which makes a noise like a normal fan would make. It does not make loud unexpected noise. There is a compressor unit in it like the one freeze and that has its own noise Apart from that I am not sure what kind of noise you are getting. Thanks

Not bad at all. It uses a larger, slower fan to move the air (can kind of see the cut-outs for it on the right side of the unit in the picture). We use it in the garage to drive a noisy high-speed spindle, though, so noise hasn't been a concern for us.

Mine was quite noisy and I thought it had a bad bearing. Technical support told me to check the end of the pump that was perforated since it can be bumped and become cocked and lets the fan hit the housing. He told me to remove it to see if it helped. I could see that it wasn't sitting properly and moved it and it ran with just a hum of the motor turning. Was quite happy.

No, I have had my fan since last year and it works fine. It is a little noisy, but apparently they all are. We love it.

I know exactly what you are making and this should work great. Might possibly be more than what you wish for but if the audible level isn't a concern for you then this will do great. I am using mine to ventilate a foam structured "quiet box" for my camping generator. To get a good idea of the power this fan produces I can tell you that if you sit it on a flat surface and have the air flow being sucked from that flat surface, this fan will need adequate force to be pulled off while running. Hope this helps, its a great fan at a great price. Just don't expect to not hear it.

The part that usually fails on these fans, albeit after about 10 yrs or more, is the bearing. My guess is that the bearing configuration is designed for vertical operation, in which case horizontal installation would affect the life of the unit. I would check first with the manufacturer or reseller, before giving up, if there isn't a practical vertical solution.

Probably. This type blower is very directional with almost pin point air flow. Large fans move a lot of air but tend to swirl the air over a broader area. This blower is much quieter than a blade type fan plus it has three speeds. I bought two of them to use in my shop to blow the sawdust out the door.Don't think you would be disappointed in this blower.Good luck.
