Must be a lot of sweating going on in the back end of the old Conquest Jules
Wombat made me say that cos he was too scared Jules
Mr Glassies - the fans are very quiet - sitting here right next to one on low speed, and so cool - the air just flows nicely - Billeeeeeee had a good sleep this afternoon with the fan wafting over him - said it was very comfortable. Well worth the money spent!

Have a great Christmas and all the best to the Greens Lake Gringo's.

We have had one of those Sirroco fans for a few years. They are a great fan and well worth the money. Ours is mounted on a solid block of wood so we can move the fan to where we want it both inside and outside the van (we have 12v Hella points everywhere, LOL).

I bought one about 18 months ago again on special at $149 and after that time it expired. (I think due to exposure to Talcum powder) Don't ask.
I took it back under warranty and got a brand new one that I have just reinstalled.
No problems at all, I had the receipt and it was replaced. I spoke to the sales guy at Whitworths and he told me that they get very few back and I'm inclined to believe him. Looks like even if it expires again in 18 months to two years it will have been money well spent.
I have mine in the rear bedroom to help move the air from the aircon around and it works a treat, also as a stand alone fan. Good product, does the job well. Like others I would recommend them.

Doug - you can go on the Whitworths Marine website and get them, or they are in Elizabeth Street, Melbourne - they sell all things marine. Have stores all over Australia. When you purchase something, they send their "cattledog" to you.

We have done the same.

I am on WM's mailing list and get email updates on specials and when cattledog is out
Aprox $82 each plus freight and very quick delivery
When going through the checkout there is an option for different freight levels, I just used the cheapest. Mine cost me around $179US all up for 2 fans delivered last year.

We have 2 in our van but they are not fixed as that way we can move them to where ever we want. I can't take a photo of how we use them as our van is in storage. We also have two fixed ones in our camper. They're brilliant, quiet and so very effective.
