Phew, it’s hot, I need a fan.....

[Snapster]

I’ve been looking at 12v fans to help keep us cool at night in the Motorhome as temperatures seem to be raising. Endless Breeze, though expensive and hard to come by now, get mixed reviews, also the Roadpro rp8000 seems unavailable, so, I am looking at an alternative to them, that is available in the UK.
Any recommendations?

I use these USB ones, cheap at around £16, variable speed and switchable oscillation. Stand flat on a surface or use the bulldog clip to fix elsewhere. https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Portable-Personal-Oscillation-360°Rotation-Treadmill/dp/B086L41FQ3

Another vote here for USB fans. I bought mine from a local electric store for less than a tenner IIRC but Amazon have a good selection. FWIW, I also have clip-on mains and 12v fans but find the little USB is enough.

 

[Harryw]

Yes USB fans are more than adequate imhe. the link I provided Was for the 2020 version which is a 7” fan, It claims the internal battery lasts from 4.5-50hrs. I’ve not run it that long without the usb being connected but it does allow you to free up the USB port for charging other things and keep the fan running on battery though if you usb limited.

These are brilliant. I bought one a year ago, and recently bought a second, because the first was so good. The new one has a remote control. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B087Q1MGNM

The speed is adjustable from 0 up to full speed linearly on the dial, so not stepped. I’d say they are pretty quiet on anything but the highest speed, even then it’s not that loud to me.

Mine's only a 4" model and the smaller they are the noiser they tend to be. However, on full chat, mine's only slightly more noisy than the 9" desk fan I have at home and when turned down to half speed it's almost silent.

Thanks for everyone’s recommendations, this one looks ideal, so I just ordered one.

How much are they?

How much are they?

No not a pound they are £5 I saw them yesterday, they might of even been £3 but assume they were £5 in a choice of colours.

I spotted some in the local Home Bargains last week.

The one I fancied (but didn't buy as I was in a rush - always fatal as you inevitably regret it later!) was similar to the one @Harryw posted but a lot cheaper.

They currently have these small 4" usb ones, no idea how noisy they are though.
