My box will be in next week, and ol SkippyJ was who I was gonna call to get it wired up right for me.

with the fan being inside your top storage did it still move enough air ?

You still have to exhaust to the outside.

I run my fan off a battery in the back of my truck also.I made a wiring harness with a trailor plug on the end that plugs into my truck connector and then runs to the battery in the back of my truck so it stays charged all the time. Works just like you had a camper hooked up.

I have a box with radiator fans and do NOT recommend them. They eat up batteries (deepcycles).

All you really want is to move enough air to get the heat build-up out, so I would suggest a marine vent fan(s). They eat far less battery. I went to a test awhile back with a buddy and we ran his vent fans all weekend off of a deep cycle. Mine would have been toast the first day and I'd be re-charging.

I do like my fans in the middle of summer since they move alot of air, but I don't think it's worth the hassle of pulling batteries in and out and re-charging them constantly.

BTW, a rheostat will increase your draw (as explained to me by an electrician)

YMMV

You need a new 'lectrician. Maybe one thats heard of Ohm's Law
E/R = I or Volts divided by Resistance = Amps
increasing resistance, reduces the current (and in your case) the fan speed.

just thought I'd play along

Ken,
I ain't no electrician for sure

Maybe I'll get a new one...

awwww to heck with an electrician y'all need to call skippyjaydot as already mentioned!!!

Took your advise and ordered 39.00 radiator fans.Have the battery separator and charge with shore power or generator.I mounted to blow inside.They blow a hurricane in the box.
