Solar question

I use a couple of these or the equivalent, there are multiple sources. i can clamp them to the valances in front of the open windows where we want them and the oscillation is nice. You will need a cigarette lighter adapter somewhere convenient, but you can get both wye two from one adapters and extension cords in the 12V lighter plug format for flexibility. 

Originally posted by Babysaph So does the 12v solar fan just plug into an outlet in the camper?

Yes, you can always add more 12v outlets or even change over to a different type.

This is the fan we use:

I've noticed all of the 12v fans have cigarette lighter hookups

Thanks all!!!

Most of us are going to add another battery(or more) to our rigs when utilizing solar. A single 12v will not make it all night when running the furnace and may or may not when just running a 12v fan.

I would at the minimum add another 12v, or even better is to ditch the 12v and go with 2 6v golf cart type batteries. To charge 2 batteries a 100 watt panel would be adequate in full sun, but would struggle on overcast days.

Decide how much boondocking you are going to do, then size a solar system that can easily handle that load. For us, we want to be able to run the Fantastic fan in the bathroom to pull cool sir into the camper. Then we have aportable 12v fan that we direct on us while sleeping. On most nights, this is more than enough to keep us comfortable.

To do that, I removed the factory 12v battery, added a double battery box and 2- 6 volts. I then put a 160 watt panel on the roof with a Renogy charge controller(it's a smart charger).
After this trip, I will add at least another 100 watts of solar Wich will keep those batteries topped off easily.
