Best Fan for Camping

What about one of those Dyson no blade fans?

I can't say I have ever used one, but have seen them in the shops and they seem to be quiet.

Dyson Bladeless Fans

Hi Andy,
"Some fans are quiet but weak, others are powerful but noisy.
Dyson Cool Fans are quiet and powerful" according to Dyson.
What Dyson did NOT say is that they are expensive!

They are certainly efficient, very quiet, have no exposed blades, oscillate and have good controls.
I use one in my office for all the above reasons.
It would be good in a tent. But like I say, exxy at $399.

In the Troopy we use a pair of 12v computer fans directly over our sleeping heads. They run all night without noticeable battery drain and are quiet but just enough to cool the head. Doubtful use in a tent.

If you can make up something to mount it on this fan is the best.

Hi Andy , we often use a simple "box" fan which you can buy cheaply from Woolies, big W , JB hifi etc. a flat square with feet at the bottom this fan is a good compromise between noise and air flow. I like it also because the shape of it packs well in the camping gear. On a couple of occasions we have run it off an inverter(when we didn't have mains power) and it functioned well. It does have a rotating louvre if you like the air to move around. And a timer if you want it to turn off once you are asleep. Simple, cheap and does a good job. Cheers doc

Try Kennards or any of the hire mobs. You can rent a wide range from domestic to commercial.

I've used them in plantrooms for ventilation in the past.

try Bunnings click fans approx. $ 20

There is a fan you can buy in a box with 2 outlets don't have the name with me at the moment but you fill the box with ice so you get a cooler breeze and your not just circulating hot air around the tent there a couple of hundred dollars though. Or you can make one cheap something like this and put in a 2 or 3 speed low voltage fan from a camping store similar to the type in the video below with 2 outlets that you can swivel around to suit .Bblock ice would last longer but regular ice will help just keep the tent open a bit and air out as usual to get rid of any moisture build up if it happens. Experiment in a room at home to see how it goes and how long it blows cool air for.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITtlxjvLQis

Hi Andy.
When in Kununarra a few years back in 42deg heat and about 90% humidity, we purchased a 12" 3 speed oscilating fan for about $25.
We were in a Kimberley Kamper, and simply stood it on a couple of stacking crate style boxes. From memory, we probably only used low speed which is really quiet, and set the oscillation so we got a breeze sweeping around us.
We were amazed how effective it was.
I think the brand was Click.
Went with the KK when we sold it.
It came in a box and was assembled when needed (took about 30 secs), and packed in the box after use to pack away in very compact form.

Just so you can check it out here's the one I was talking about earlier http://transcool.info/

Here's a couple of more fans I found a while ago had them in my favourites list http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12V-TWIN-BLADE-ADJUSTABLE-TWIN-SPEED-TRUCK-CAR-CARAVAN-BOAT-FAN-CAMPING-AKCF12T-/181923960691?hash=item2a5b835773
