Want to add a 12v fan

Sideways · 08-08-2018, 04:44 AM

As the weather warms up and I get older, I'm looking for suggestions on adding a 12v fan to my 94 Medalist (48v) to use while golfing.
I have a 12v outlet wired to my reducer so the clip on fan is an option but not my first choice.
I have room to add accessories to my voltage reducer, so hard wiring with a switch is an option as well.
I was thinking a roof style fan with cover like they use on RV's but not sure if they would draw the battery pack down to quick.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I recently mocked an A/C unit with my built in rear seat cooler. Cut a hole in cooler - ran fan into cooler and cut an output hole that a shop vac hose runs from. It blows cold for a good 3 hours and I fill back up with ice as it melts out..

Click that link I put in reply - I think it will take you to the right page - page 3 I believe

Pretty easy mock - a dremel will do ya. I ran fan to a rocker switch in dash - everyone on the course gets a big kick out of it, and it WORKS!! ��
