A cheap and easy way to add small fan to any camper. Fan - amzn.to/3yJB6uP Ball Head - amzn.to/3z9Udj3 Ball Head 2 - amzn.to/3ILZaCc Dimmer - amzn.to/3o6qm4P Wires - amzn.to/3ASdZkD Battery - amzn.to/3yNhIgu
DC fans don't care which way you wire them, so you could make it blow from the front side. That is, switch your positive and negative around and the motor will run in the other direction.
Thanks for the video, I bought that fan Be quiet! Pure wings2 140mm But I want to use it for my mini camper There is 4 wire one + one - and two F , I tried different ways doesn’t work Please tell me how to install it , thanks
Thanks for the video , I like your fan , a question for you ! I bought a regular 12 volt fan , but takes 20 watts and makes a lot of noise, but works good, about that computer fan looks like perfect . Is it blowing enough for night time when your are lay down sleeping?
It's not a forceful breeze. It's just a light wind that helps keep me cool. For me, the biggest selling point was the lack of noise. I do a lot of urban camping, being able to hear what's going on outside the car is important.
How's this setup holding out? Mostly interested if you have had any problems with the dimmer, from what I've read is to avoid low rpm's with cpu fans in general not less than 50% power. Have you found this to be not the case, I understand some fans are designed for this. About to do the same thing to add fans to a ceiling vent in my van. Also the fan you picked has a lower db(A) than most of the ones I've looked at.
I'm on 2 years with this setup, haven't had any issues with it. Didn't know about the 50% thing. I use it in a small SUV camper, at lower RPMs it make almost no noise but still moves enough air around to be comfortable. I chose the fan manly for the low noise.
Another genius idea! Also liked your Heater Mod…..I’m a subscriber! Please keep them Coming !

How many amps does that fan pull? Should show on ur battery pack
Not sure, my battery pack doesn't show amp draw. But it's certainly very low.
Can I buy one of these from you?? And your little buddy mod setup?
They're super easy to build, you don't even need power tools. Embrace DIY!
Can I put two fans on one dimmer?
Slow reply on this one. I would assume so, it says it's good to 30A.
just spend 12 bucks on a car fan.
More fun to DIY!
And "car fans" are way to loud for sleeping
Car fans lower air cfms and bulkier and noisier
