How to Install a Ceiling Fan in an RV
What does the ceiling fan fasten to in the roof of a motorhome?
How do you get power, either 12vdc or 120vac to the fan?
ANSWER: Hi Darrel, there are Ceiling Fans that you can buy that are specifically designed for use in RVs. They run off of 12 volts DC.
In most cases the installation is quite simple as the fans are designed to replace a 12 volt ceiling light that is currently in your RV. So a do-it-yourselfer should be able to install these fan kits
You attach the fan to the studs in your RV's ceiling, these are the same studs that your current ceiling light should be attached to. Take a look at these Sample RV Ceiling Fan Installation Instructions to get an idea of how these ceiling fans are installed.
If your ceiling light has a wall switch then you would buy an RV Ceiling Fan
that includes a wall switch. If your current ceiling light has the on off switch directly on the light with no wall switch then you would buy an RV Ceiling FanSave 50% off of Campsites With Passport America
If you are going to install a Ceiling Fan
Depending on the construction of your RV, you may be able to run the wires through the ceiling or conceal the wires going to the ceiling fan by using some Wire Channels
. If you are not comfortable with tapping into existing wiring systems and running wire you may want to get this done by someone that is familiar with RV wiring systems.I hope that this information has been helpful to you.
