Has anyone hung one of those tent fans that use a magnetic plate off this tent? Will this tent support the weight of 4 D batteries?

It will support it, its sturdy but the material is extremely cheap. I had rips in it after 1 use in the woods. Plus there are visible stiching gaps between the tarp bottom and top so be ready to get wet

Yes it will even though the battery's are a little heavy, or you can by Eneloop AA Rechargeable Batteries with D Battery inserts.

If you haven't bought this tent yet, don't buy it (but lighthouse, all steel lights hangers ). If you have, make sure you check the plastic hangers on the ends of the light hangers frequently. Fans sound good.

The fan/lighting is powered by battery. Ours is currently attached with zip ties........but otherwise works well. Love the size/area of this tent. We are able to able to fit 3 queen size air mattresses and our bags quite comfortably. Set up & take down is easy as well.

The short answer is "no". (Maybe a fan.) If you did the calculations I think you would find that your roof is not big enough to hold the panels that you would need and the battery bank would be more weight than your RV could safely carry. :(Come to California where you do not need heat or AC. :)

Yes, I think so. But I wouldn't get this one if you use a battery pack extension. You cant mount it on, and it actually creates a kinda unstable mount on your tripod. If I could do it over I would get either a magnetic one and hope they dont fall out or actually i am buying one that seals a mount to the LCD screen and can pop the view finder on and off, but it looks a lot more secure

YES! And this is the best way to go since you will run through batteries like crazy in hot and humid weather. We ran through batteries in 3 days and went and bought rechargables. It's worth the investment. We love this fan in our tent hanging from the ceiling. In Florida it was the only thing that kept us sane and able to sleep.

This fan uses 8 "D" batteries. I tried it and it worked but I took out the batteries 'cause I wanted to only use it when we lose power during a storm.

Being a tent camper and a person who likes to make things work, I would say yes, you could. It would probably have to be hung upside down with a heavy grade string or a small rope around where the battery housing connects to the fan part. I hope this idea helps.

Yes, you will need to use some sort of anchoring system to insure stability. Look around the web or make your own using buckets, concert mix and bungie chords. If it's a calm day then the weight of the tent will hold it in place. We've had ones from other manufactures but for the price this is a great buy.

No mounting point or bracket. I use mine to charge my tent trailer batteries and I have just been leaning it against a rock.

I have the I power 600 watt 6" cool hood,it weighs around 30 pounds with glass,bulb and then attach ducting to both sides..it holds very well,even pulling down on the rope ratchets and not securing the rope when I pull down putting extra pressure and it still holds strong. Not to mention the fact I have a 4 foot 2 bulb t5 fixture hanging inside for supplemental light as well. You can not go wrong with this product....and in case I forgot to mention my carbon filter weighs an additional 17 pounds...all this is suspended from the roof of this tent......not a single problem.

I don't think it would stand well without being secured. I used a hammer and the stakes come with the tents. There would not be enough tension to secure the pole. Hope this helps. I really like the tent. It worked well for me.

I had bought this for someone else but if I remember correctly it weighted about 4lbs and about 24 inches long by 3 inches. Do a search on YouTube and you will see a bunch of videos on this item. I tried it out once and it was great if you don't want to pitch a tent. Good luck

Just took my tent out of the bag. Didn't have a good scales to weight this kind of stuff, but can tell you that the person who carries the poles and pegs will be carrying less weight than the person carrying the tent and fly.

The fan itself weighs almost nothing So with 2 D batteries it weighs just a bit more then 2 batteries.Without the batteries it would be so light weight it would easily be blown away by a small gust of wind.

The tent holds up the poles and vice versa. The framework is a bit wobbly without the tent but you could probably use the guide wires to make it work. I have not tried it though.

No but I know they sell stuff like that on amazon for tents. I got a light to put in the center of my tent in the inside and I got 2 small fans that you can plug in or run out off batteries. I got this tent and then I watched YouTube to see what other people do to keep the inside of the tent cool during hot days.
