Do you all know if there are any vent fans that run on AC, or are they all DC powered? I was hoping to avoid the expense of a converter, but depending on your advice, I may have to get one if I want a vent fan up top.

I have ordered from here. Fast shipping.

Thanks, Endo. Looking at those Fantastic Vents, it appears that 12 volt is all there is. Any advice on a good converter?

Here is a link for a good one.

I have a 45 amp IOTA. They are not cheap but they are very good quality.

The 30 amp is on sale for $137.00. I bought the 45 amp because at the time it was on sale for less than any of the other converters they offered. The converter can be used with or without a battery. I use mine without a battery.

I bought one of these... http://www.bestconverter.com/Centurion- ... _c_63.html

It has 3 DC fused circuits plus the circuit for the battery charger or other 4th circuit. Can be used with or without a battery so you can add one later if you decide to. Also has two 110V circuit breakers for the AC. Wireing is simple and eliminates the need for seperate fuse panels.

Great! Thanks Endo and Tripmaker. Those are helpful tips. I'm not an electrician, but it sounds as if installation for either one of those is relatively easy. Even if I reverse it, I won't destroy the converter (thankfully). I'll go ahead and frame the ceiling for the fan, and get one of these right away. I guess this means I can/should plan on 12 volt lighting as well.

I would think that you would want 12V lighting. A battery or at least a connection to your tow vehicle for those times when shore power is not available. We have camped in many state parks in Indiana and Michigan where no power was available.
