RV FEATURE
When we received our brand new caravan, it came ready to hit the road. However, along the way, we have made some modifications to make us more comfortable, and help us stay away for longer. These are the mods we made to our van and why I believe you’ ll benefit from them too …
SIROCCO FANS
Being on the road full time means we see a lot of different climates, but given the choice, we like to chase the sun, and that means warmer weather. To keep things cool and breezy, I installed a few Sirocco fans. It was an easy DIY project for me as I am a sparky; however, I believe it would be easy for anyone with some DIY skills. The most difficult part of the job was running the wires. I managed to get away with replacing some lights and reusing the existing wiring to power the fans.
I put a fan in each of the bunks and two more above the main bed. The position of the fans above the main bed, added with the manoeuvrability of the Sirocco fans, means they can be adjusted to not only blow onto the bed but also into the dining / seating area and even the kitchen area. Such is the beauty of caravan life.
