RoadPro RP-1179 Car Fan, Heavy Duty, 12V, Metal, 7.5"

Works really well! Installed on my tractor canopy, stirs a good breeze.

Mounted it on my tractor. It puts out a nice breeze.

... but this fan is perfect. Unless I just lucked out, I really don't know why anybody would have a complaint about it. Very solid, sturdy, and not nearly as loud as I expected reading some of the reviews. Moves a ton of air too. No complaints!

Great fans easy to install

I absolutely love this heavy-duty fan! It's exactly what my dump truck needed. The fan is incredibly powerful, keeping the cabin cool even during the hottest days. It's built tough, and I can tell it will last for a long time. Perfect for heavy-duty use and has made a huge difference in comfort during long shifts. Highly recommend!

Mounted 2 fans near bed in RV. So loud I am unable to sleep with them on. I will have to replace them with another type. Maybe a lighter weight plastic pne will be quieter. These are terrible. Sounds like shaft bearings are dry. If it has bearings. Don't buy.

Might as well list what I don't like about this fan. Did I mention noise? Yeah, even on low it is an attention grabber. There are a few screws and bolts that were cast, but everything else is made from stamped metal, even a few nuts. But it does look good. The motor is not ventilated, so there is going to be a lifespan problem. The cord is cheap and they used the cheapest 12 volt plug in available. But it works.Now for the good stuff. You can get used to how noisey the fan is, but you will end up wondering how you could stand it when you flip the switch off. Part of the problem is that the fan blades or shaft is out of balance.The three position metal switch is nice to see. Right is low, center is off and left is high.I am using this in my 1987 Jayco J-2450 RV and the nice part was that I didn't have to splice any wires. I have a 12 Volt plug in connection for those old twelve volt televisions and it is more than capable of supplying power for the fan. So I ended up mounting the fan near that plug in. It works great for circulating the air during winter weather.The cord is so long that you could mount it on the dash in the cab of a truck and you could use one of the accessory plug ins in the sleeping berth.Durability? I don't think do when the fan and motor connect to the base with only a stamped compression fitting. Though if you don't move the fan often it will probably last longer. But I wouldn't hold my breath if you mount this on construction equipment or go over unimproved roads.All in all, I should have paid more money and bought American.

Mounted this up in my tow truck has been great to get some extra air circulating! Powerfull fan
