I live in Texas and RTT camping is coming to a close for my family with June approaching. That’s unless you want to sweat while you sleep (that’s a big no for the wife).

I’m curious to know if anyone is using a good USB fan for their tent that puts off some good air movement. The current one we have isn’t cutting it. It hangs from the aluminum hoop and is quite small.

Looking for ideas and options.

Thanks and stay safe everyone!

I just ordered a DeWalt fan. It's a 11" or 12" I believe. Hoping it's enough. It's already getting warm down south

I no longer have an RTT but when I did this one worked well. I used to strap it to the roof bar.

USB Fan

I currently have this USB fan. Moves as much or more air as some of my 12v fans I've tried over the years.

I have a 12V fan I run off a Yeti 400 but now that I have a fridge I am running into power issues. I either need to adapt what I currently have or spend a lot of money on a dedicated second battery with solar. So I am looking at adapting and am looking at possibly getting this fan from Milwaukee. I already have the batteries from other tools and one battery will supposedly last 10 hours of continuous use on low. Haven't pulled the trigger yet but looking at it.

Been getting decent service from this one or a very similar one from same make.
I just received two of these in the mail a couple of days ago to try out on our camping trip this weekend. Lows are going to be in the mid to upper 60's but will probably be warm when going to sleep with highs during the day reaching 90. I plan to test them out this weekend and will report back the results next week!

My Opolar fans worked great, actually had to turn them off in the wee hours of the morning since it was cool enough with them!

Don't know if you're still looking, but I purchased a Geekaire fan which has a Li-on battery that lasts almost 24 hours. Mine is a 15 Dia and it's quiet and works really well. I use it in my carport and my camping tent. Google geekaire.com for more info.

Amazon. Not sure if this is the exact ones i have but similar
I have one like this that clip onto the clam-shell frame inside the tent. It oscillates side to side and moves air pretty well. It isn’t usb tho, but 12v. I plug it into a long 12v extension to the cab of my truck or recently to the battery box that my son gave me.
