Welcome to the forum, Sivad

I purchased an el-cheapo 12VDC Oscillating Fan with Clamp from EBay for less than $10
It is noisy, and pulls about half an amp

I then purchased, what looked like a clone of this fan, from Jaycar, for about $20
It is just as noisy, and also pulls about half an amp

I then purchased (but have not used it in the hot weather yet), a Sirocco-Caframo 12VDC fan from EBay for around $140
This fan does not oscillate, but can be set 360º, and it has three speeds, plus a timer so that it can switch itself off
On the highest speed, it has about the same puff, as the above cheaper fans, but is much, much quieter, and pulls a quarter of an amp

If you do a search for Sirocco fans in the search box, (toppish middleish of the page) there are plenty who recommend them
I will not recommend them, until I have used it in the hot weather

Hope that this info is useful to you

WE purchase 3 of this type of van and wired them up coming off the ceiling lights

Also purchased a Sirooco type van.

You will amazed as to how effective the above are.
