We are on our second trip in our new Bullet. Our first trip in april it was still very cool at night and we used the heat. Now into July though not hot enough to need the A/C, it tends to get a bit stuffy in the bedroom. So to the question. I am looking for ideas, pictures and thought on some type of fan, thinking 12v. Looked around on the internet for ceiling type fans, the one I found left a bit to be desired. I am now leaning towards one of those fans that are in big trucks on the dash or overhead near the windshield. I am thinking it would mount easily to the ceiling, and there is a 12v light right there to tap into for power.

If you have a roof vent in the bedroom, a better option would be to replace it with a powered vent. Fantastic fan and Max air both have powered vents that would fit right into the hole.

I prefer the Max air as they don't need a vent cover to operate in inclement weather. Standard for Max air is multi speed reversible fan. Some fantastic fans have reversible also. One of the first things I did was to install a Max air 10 speed reversible fan in our bedroom. Wired onto the ceiling light about 6 inches away.

We don't have a vent in the BR. Only in the kitchen area and bathroom.

I generally just run the AC fan, will run the AC even when not really needed and just set it a little higher. Sometimes we run the fan with a window or two open. Seems to work well.

We bought a couple tall thin rotating fans from Wallly World a couple summers ago for our Bullet. One in the bedroom by the window and the other by the sofa. Works great here in Texas. Even when the AC is on.

Yes indeed Hankaye. That is what I was thinking, I would permanently attach it to the ceiling above the foot of the bed. I would power it by tapping into the 12v light nearby.

Sorry,

I was thinking 110v ceiling fan. If your mostly on shore power overnight, it is more adjustable (3 speed + up-down force). It's sure a lot quieter, and 110v source is right there at the ceiling vent. Just a thought...
