I bought an O2 fan at Walmart for $13.00. I then went to Radio Shack got a couple of switch's. I now have a vent fan for less than $20.00 that work great. The fan reverse's and goes forward, has a high and a low speed and is hooked into the trailer battery. Pics in my album. Jim G

Jack,

It appears that he mounted the fan assembly with hinges and some sort of latch so he can drop the fan to access the vent.

That really is O 2 cool!

couple of ??'s: Why the new switches, I'm assuming that the original location is not accessible when mounted.
Did you find it in the automotive dept (since it's 12v)? Good work :thumbsup:

It didn't have a switch for reverse so I installed one. I got the fan in the sporting goods section at Wal mart. It would normally run on 8 "D" batteries I think that is 12volts so I threw away the stand which is the battery holder, I didn't care for the original switch so I changed it also $3.24 at Radio shack. The fan swings down to allow access to the vent crank. Jim G.

...yeah, I saw the hinge/latch setup BUT, all the vents(w/screens) I have seen had a crank sticking down into the cabin, the crank was located just off center and would interfere with a tight-against-the-opening fit and would have required removal of the crank to fit the fan............

p.s. a screen is an absolute necessity down in my part of the woods...eslewise, the skeeters would tote ya off for their own fun and games..............MJ

Your right I didn't include enough pics. There was enough room for the crank and motor. You darn sure need screens down in your part of the world, I think the skeeter mate with the gators. Jim G

...actually, I think they mate with turkeys...I know, I have seen some big enough and vicious enough to take one down...
