I'm looking for a vintage looking fan to wall mount in my trailer. I'd like a very small one 4"-5" diameter and preferably in chrome or stainless steel. It has to be small because I'll mount it between two cabinet doors. Any ideas/sources out there?
Thanks a million!

I don't have a source for fan, but I'd be interested in knowing about one myself. Is your fan going to be mounted in the pre-existing hole? On our last camping trip I thought we really could use a fan near the stove. When I'm doing more of a deeper dive into the renovation I could frame one in exactly the right spot.
Let's hope someone has a good source.

I don't think I have ever seem one that small. Don't know but it seems like 8 or 10 inches is the smallest that I can remember and I haven't saw a new one of those in a while.

I have a 4" one similar to this in my teardrop. It's meant for a desktop but I hang it from my cabinet knob.  |

that looks like the perfect size but I don't have a 12V system and want to run it on the 110V system.....I'll keep searching.

The one I posted is 110v. It plugs in. You can find it at Walmart online.

I thought you was talking about a through the wall vent fan.

I thought you was talking about a through the wall vent fan. A wall vent is what I need. Having stove heat and steam cascade around the underside of the cabinets above is a poor design. I would even consider 12volt since I may have the skin off on the lower part of the camper we plan to keep. |

Does your trailer not have room for a stove hood with a fan?

If you find a 12 volt and want to convert it to 110 a new motor is fairly cheap.

It has to be small because I'll mount it between two cabinet doors. Any ideas/sources out there? Thanks a million! Here's the 12V model from VTS. About 7" diameter… still pretty small, nice looking chrome fan. Just get a $10 converter to bring your 110v down to 12v. Mount the converter behind the fan inside the cabinet. You can do this with pretty much any 12v fan you find out there. |
