I felt the cool air from this fan at Sams the other day and now wondering if this would cool the inside of a Class A RV and could i save money if i only use this and not my central air??

This is only a fan - which means that it puts out air that is the same temperature as goes into it. The reason fans seem to be cool is that the blowing air evaporates moisture from you skin and that evaporation carries away body heat. So, if yor RV is in a location that is not too hot then speeding up the evaporation from your skin might be enough. But if it is very hot or humid out, you are going to need your central air.

I've used it in the back patio when it's 100 degrees .I mainly use inside my house upstairs and leave it on and helps my house keep cooler.i say it would help in your rv but not under hot temperatures but u can run ur rv ac low with the fan on it would make a big difference

It moves a lot of air, but the problem is it will only move the air very well. You'd need a source near the Lasko emoting some cold air to distribute to the rest of the RV.

If you place it outside the RV it will blow in cooler air if the outdoor air temperature is lower (pointed toward the open doorway for example). In an enclosed area, fans ADD heat to the room itself, regardless of the cooling sensation caused by evaporation on your skin. A 500 watt motor (3/4 horsepower) will add 500 watts of heat (1,600 BTUH, British thermal units per hour). Fans produce warmth, not cooling, but it is "comfort" cooling.

This fan does not cool the air. It moves air well, allowing for a warmer setter on the AC control, because it feels cooler when the air is moving.

This is not an air conditioner. It's a very good fan. Cooling a room down has several factors unknown to me. So, we enjoy ours because it is unique and it allows air to move in the space it is placed. If you need that to happen, then will enjoy it as much as we have. So much, we ordered a 2nd one. Good luck!

You will likely need 2 of these to effectively cool your truck unless you also have your stock mechanical fan also. Then you could just use one of these as a "pusher" fan.

Hi! This is exactly why I purchased this! I wanted to save on energy By decreasing the central air usage. In my experience, this is great for a large room or open space. It won't sub for central air on another level of the house. I have a large living-dining area that is cooked just fine with this on the highest setting on the sweeping motion. Hope this helps. Their website gives specific dimensions for cooling area....

I don't use mine continuously. I do use mine frequently for up to 10-14 days continuously. It goes from my SUV to a hotel or our RV. I have not flown with this unit yet so I am not sure of airline policy. I truly recommend this cooler. The fan will rattle if it is placed on an uneven surface, such as a slanted auto seat. I set mine in the floorboard. It doesn't draw much power since I have left it running in my SUV for over 4 hours without it effecting my auto battery.

Not sure I understand the question I use the fan to move hot air from my living room where I have I wood burning Stove. In the summer I move air conditioned air from living room inti othe r areas in house It does both well.

Yes. This is one wonderful fan. You will love it regardless. I have two and they keep my house cool with the aid of one air conditioner.

Honestly, I'm not sure I only had the heater for about two months, but I don't think the fan will cool as good as air conditioning but I know for a fact it will help.

My RV already had the MaxxAir vent covers installed. I read numerous reviews and watched YouTube's videos on comparisons between FantasticFan and the MaxxAir covers. I left the MaxxAir on when I installed the new fan. Bottom line! The fan lid does hit when opened all the way and prevents the fan from getting maximum air flow. I "guesstimate" that I may loose 10 to 15 % air flow. It does not make enough difference to me to spend the extra $$. And yes the fan works fantastically. �

I doubt it it sounds like you need an air conditioner if it's "very hot". If you had some cross ventilation it might help, but even with two windows a fan isn't the answer in really hot weather.

You might be lucky enough to have a trailer where the manufacturer led a wire up to the vent area in anticipation of you wanting to put in a fan. If not, I would have to defer to a good RV shop. Good Luck!

I thought it was better to have it pull the hot air out of the cabinet. But the way this fan is designed, the fancy brushed aluminum face of the fan is made to mount on the inside of the cabinet. When it's mounted inside the cabinet, it actually pulls cooler air into the cabinet. I have it setup this way in my server cabinet running a FiOS router, Ethernet switch, Mac Mini and 5 Bay Synology NAS server and it's keeping the temperature well within spec. Plus the fan wiring is on the back side so it'd have to be on the outside of your cabinet anyway.

I have had mine one year and have approx 60 hrs use and like it very much. It is much quieter than most similiary priced units (69)db. One caution DO NOT fill fuel tank to the top,it will expand ,overflow ,flood out and make a hell of a mess and be sure to get electric start,you will be glad you did.Runs A/c and everything in RV at same time. Great for use when staying overnite on Wal-Mart parking lots and saves lots of money on campgrounds! Enjoy!

I have 2 of these fans in a 4x4 tent with a 600watt light. One is to exhaust heat the other brings in fresh air. Its pretty windy in there moves some serious air the 4" fan I had prior worked during the winter but not during summer heat. This actually allows enough air flow to keep the tents temperature around 70 with cool air coming in

To be honest, i don't know. Couldnt tell a big difference in my bill. I do not compare this to an air cooler though. Unless mine doesn't work properly, it is no different from any other fan to me. I had bought it because everyone was saying it was like an air cooler. I could of bought a cheaper fan the does the same thing. Just so you know.

ChrisAmbient air is OK. I have it installed to operate three 12v computer cooling fans on my RV refrigerater. They are installed inside the exterior fridge access panel and force air up throught the coil. Great in hot weather.Colin
