Fan - 12 volt

[NewMax]

Hi, we have a a 12 volt Sirocco fan.  Has been great - draws little current, can set to turn off after 2/4/6/8 hours, three speed. Needed it yesterday when was 36 degrees.

Mostly run off 12 volts. Every now and then stay at a caravan park and would like to run the fan off mains power.  Does anyone have info on, or link to, a cheap converter with male mains plug on one end and female 12 volt plug on other end where can plug in cigarette lighter plug? I know there are lots of inverters that go the other way - 12 volt to mains power. On the road for six months we have not needed a 12v to mains inverter.  We do not run a generator.

Thanks

BCF, in the fridge area. $99 last time I looked (Mcgraths Hill store).

Just leave it on 12v and charge you battery in the caravan park

That way it's just like running on 240v

That's the way my system works also, I run everything off 12V, then when I plug into 240V, the ARB fridge automatically switches to 240V (It is always plugged into both 12V and 240V) and the Ctek M300 kicks on to top up the battery.

I picked one up from Jaycar for 40 bucks as well to run my fridge.
