This fan really helped us on our trip from Oregon to Florida, up to
North Carolina, NY City, and then to Boston and back to Oregon.  Most of
this was in 100 degree weather, and there were 6 of us in our Westy.  I
put the fan on the rear hatch, and it made the night tolerable.  Yes, it
uses batteries, but I would have gone crazy had I not bought this at a
Walmart on the way.  (I save the batteries to send to our boys school.
They get $$$ for every pound they turn in to recycle.)  I also purchased
a 12volt clip on fan at a truck stop, and clipped it next to the pop top
latch to blow air on the boys up top.   I would get up in the middle of
the night to turn it off, because I was concerned about the drain on the
house battery.
