12V Fan Circulation Mod for 2016 Roadtrek Hydronic Heat

[TomofBend]

I thought this might be useful for others. I have the hydronic radiant heating system in my 2016 Roadtrek. It works great but created pockets of very hot air, and the air inside the pantry where the fluid reservoir is would get very hot. I bought six small 12v fans used for computer cabinets and placed them near the heat sources. I put them all on variable speed switches and a master switch. It has been a game changer for heating in cold weather. What I didn’t realize was how much of a difference it would make even in cooler weather circulating cool air more efficiently. One of the best mods I did besides redoing the electrical system.

How did you route power to the fans?

I went to the nearest 12v power source. Lots of places to access that down low without too much hassle.

The toughest location for me appears to be by the sliding door.

There was a 12v outlet near the sliding door that I connected off of. I actually replaced the cigarette type outlet with a USB multi outlet plug while I did it.

Crap, you are absolutely correct, I can’t believe I didn’t remember this. Thanks for your help.
