If you have not purchased a small fan yet now is the time to do so. We bought a small fan (not the clip on kind but one that sits on the counter or floor) from WalMart. It is amazing how much it helps keep the air circulating in the sleeper. Our a/c doesn't run nearly as much when the fan circulates the air. Lots of times we can even sit with the windows open and the fan blowing without turning on the a/c. It is all about comfort AND saving fuel!

Walmart of course....

Esapr heater in fan-only mode. Works great.

Walmart fan in my van. I had a clip on, but it broke when it fell. Now I have a small house type fan, and it not only works well, but it hardly puts a drain on my battery either.

Oh yeah, the espar fan only mode is good too.

If the ESPAR is on the floor? How does it blow the air around?

We have the Fantastiic Vent also in the roof and this combined with a fan sitting on the counter really keeps the truck cool. We found that if we have the Fantastic Vent running and if it shuts due to rain without the fan on the counter the sleeper would immediatly get to hot. The fan also seems to really help when it is very hot outside and the Rig Master is struggling.

I love the fantastic vent! We also use a small Walmart fan on the counter top to help with the A/C. Sometimes it's just so hot outside that the sleeper A/C just can't keep up. In the summertime, we keep the sleeper curtain closed and that helps, but it feels like ....to the BAT CAVE!! LOL

If Walmart we're running for president within this post they would have a lock in the primaries so far. Walmart fan here too

After I found how brutal Wal Mart is with their suppliers, many of which now supply Wal Mart via China, I don't shop there much anymore.

Espar Heater Fans: Works Great? Well I would not give it that rating, it does move some air on the floor but nothing compared to a $12.00 14 inch fan. Not even close unless its really cool outside and than why would you need to use a fan?

There is an APU on my truck it was probably 90F in N.C. today come 6PM I came back to the truck after dinner, parked away from the Sun and the fan will work very well as its suppost to be in the low 60s tonight. No APU at a third of a gallon an hour. Paid for dinner thanks to this cool wave.

The Fantastic Fan now thats a AIR MOVER, fans are OK and will save money on moderate days, but once its in the mid 80s these trucks/vans turn into Microwaves and use that Phrase instead of Ovens cause Ovens take a while to heat up, these will bake instantly in the heat.
