    Orion Fan Company makes a 12 vdc reversible 120 mm (5 inch) high speed fan that can deliver 146 to 115 cfm of air. Two of these mounted behind the license plate on the rear door of a Van (for an example) could deliver 292 to 230 cfm of air into or out of a Van. These are ball bearing fans...

    Roof Computer fans instead of a fantastic fan?

    We used to have a member here named Stearnwake. His solution (addressing stealth) was to cut holes in his back door behind the license plate, which mounted on his door, to install a couple of computer fans together.. He was considering getting a door mounted spare tire carrier so he could...

    Roof Computer fans instead of a fantastic fan?

    Here is how I've been approaching it. At Lowe's you can buy strips of rain gutter guards. These are perforated vinyl (like siding) with screen wire bonded to it. It's long enough and rigid enough that it can be cut to conform to the upper part of the front door windows and be cut to fit into...

    While traveling in my rig hunting for work, I found a position with this one corporation in central Ohio. In those days corporate HR departments expected workers to be in the sticks and bricks once they were hired. But I was still able to use my rig as it turned out in my work...

    LED lights strip above the sliding door of my Weinsberg Carabus not working

    Sorry you didn't have any luck with that. I was hoping it was just a switch but seeing that photo suggest it's a much more complicated control device. I once had a Honda Accord where the instrument panel lights quit burning. The dealer wanted $36 dollars for a new replacement module and...
