PortaFan
Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2009 2:57 pm
I recently came up with an item that has turned into one of the
most used around camp. ( by ME anyway )
I call it the PortaFan. I know there are many battery operated fans,
but this one retains the usefulness of the original items, plus a new
convenience.
I am one of those people who SWEATS ! ( not perspire ) So, my least
favorite times are setting up camp and breaking camp. I usually wind up
changing clothes immediately thereafter. ( or shower )
So anything that helps during this process is a major plus for me.
While cooling off on the first trip for the Wazat, this occurred to me:
A clip on 12 v fan on a Jump Start battery.
I can set this down anywhere I am working for a bit of cool relief. It runs
for a long time on the JumpStart.
We also use it during meals with the oscillating feature working. Good for
those times of ' no air stirring ' .
Its original use was for a quick power source. The Wazat includes a jump
start connection with its 12V/110V sytem :
So it can still be used for that. Of couse the fan can be plugged in at the
galley for a fixed position.
Then there is the Cooling Station :
At 90 + degrees temp. and 90 % humidity in the South it is HOT !
So, I have this set up for periodic visits to cool off during
set up / break down times.
