Tip about endless breeze 12v fan (1 Viewer)

[ruthiebabe]

Hi sitting here in South of France where it's very hot and so glad we managed to source one of these before we set off. Thought I'd share how we got one in case helpful. Endless searching online failed to come up with anywhere in stock in UK. A few suppers such as Outdoor Bits and Grasshopper listed them at just under £100 but had no stock. I didn't fancy eBay from USA plus postage was extortionate and customs duty uncertain. Amazon.com however arrange all that and the item arrived within a week, 10 days or so ahead of schedule. Total cost was only about £78 inc delivery and duty. Plus we paid on our Halifax clarity card so minimal charges. Hope this might help someone who needs one this summer. They are great and really make a difference!

Thanks for this @ruthiebabe. However, can you remember the actual company who supplied it? The first one I tried would not ship it to me, the second one wanted to charge me more than the fan costs!! The latest wants to charge me over £300!!! And can you remember whether you said your Clarity card was in pounds or dollars??

Sweating now over whether it will arrive before she leaves on Sunday
All to save a few quid, doh.

We got ours from Vanbitz, about £100 I think it was. Anyone wanting one could give them a try.

Bought ours through Amazon.com a few years ago, just as the OP has described. Certainly the best value we could find at the time, and all straightforward with prompt delivery.

We've ordered one from Motorcaravanning.co.uk. The were expecting deliveries from the supplier on 9 June. Due for delivery to us this week.

Hi I didn't say I had free delivery just what I paid all in. If you are registered with UK Amazon you sign in put it in basket them as you go to checkout you will see delivery and customs charges also estimated delivery. As i said mine arrived a lot quicker than estimate

Bought 2 off Amazon.com 2 years ago and about £70 all in each and delivered pretty quick from USA.

Would not be without them. Cannot sleep without them in anything above 30C.

Usually need only the first setting of three fan speeds.

Worth every penny, provided you have sufficient batteries and solar charging to support them.

 

[Richard n Ann]

How noisy are these fans? Would you say about the same as a 230v desk fan?
The reason I ask is that some high speed DC fans whine. And at 2.6amp draw they are pulling enough current to make a racket.

 

[Floydster]

We also use 2 Endless breezes, couldn't live without them.

At night we use them on the lowest setting and you soon tune the noise out, it also helps to mask outside noises so we sleep well.

Our square one I put in the skylight is mains only and on the inverter it uses 2 amps on the lowest setting, it is silent though as I've modified it to run slowly for night time. But without EHU it's too greedy. I've thought about making a board with 4 axial DC fans on it to put in the skylight. Two fans in series x2 would only use 3/4 of an amp in total and loads cheaper than the endless breeze... that's just me though, always making something

 

[Abacist]

They are only too greedy if you don't have enough battery bank and solar to support them or EHU!

Not a problem with running 2 all night with 360amp hour battery bank and 300 watts of solar to recharge the batteries or Sterling battery charger running off the alternator when motoring! This battery bank does other stuff as well as powering an inverter!

They don't whine, they have a large diameter fan which rotates quite slowly on speed 1 which is the speed we usually run ours at. The noise is similar to a 240v desk fan but it really depends on the speed you run it at.
A bonus for us in a PVC is it is very easy to store and will clip on the dog's cage when travelling in the heat.
Much more versatile than an extractor fan - but we have one of those too.

Yeah, I don't unfortunately, I'd sooner make efficiency savings on the gadgets I have if possible than load up with extra panels and batteries.

How much are they?? And will you be at Malvern?

 

[Camping Gaza]

Why so expensive for a 12v fan in a box? A fan is a fan is a fan right?

Someone enlighten me.

They are nearly $80 in the USA and typically what somethings costs in dollars there translates to the same figure in pounds (£) here. Happens with lots of stuff.
