In the hot summer, going camping really persuaded many people to leave, but how could the aggressive campers be easily defeated by the poisonous heat? As a result, a lot of camping sunstroke elixirs have gradually emerged in the market, such as ice towels, mini refrigerators, etc., among which the “outdoor camping fan” cannot be ignored. This type of fan has become an essential summer camping good for more and more camping enthusiasts.

Although there are thousands of kinds of outdoor artifact, it is the absolute principle to suit yourself. If you want to select a camping fan that is suitable for you to take out for camping, you need to know some tips before purchasing, so that you can quickly select your favorite camping fan. Tent fans come in all shapes, sizes, weights, etc., so take these tips below into consideration when searching for the best one!

Purpose

Before buying a camping fan, you need to know what purpose you want to use the fan for. Some people want to use the fan in daytime, when temperatures rise, you may need to consider whether the wind is powerful enough or not. Others intend to use their camping fan only at night, to lower the temperatures down while they try to sleep. Maybe a tender wind is your first choice at this time. Consider the ways you plan to use your camping fan before making a purchase.

Versatility
Determine where you need to place the outdoor fan. For example, you may need to hang it on the ceiling of the tent, or place it on the other side of the picnic table, or stick it to the window of the car, or even wrap it around the pole of the camping tent. When selecting a suitable outdoor fan, please consider the position you need to place and then select the suitable outdoor fan.

Size And Weight

When looking for the best outdoor fan, consider the type of camping you are doing. Most outdoor fans are compact and lightweight enough to easily pack to bring.

If you are car camping, then weight may not be so important, in which case you can look for a larger, more powerful outdoor fan.

Running Time

Generally, outdoor camping takes a long time, so when choosing a camping fan, the longer the endurance, the better. It is recommended to select a fan to ensure the endurance of about 5~12 hours, so that both picnic camping and overnight camping can be guaranteed.Check how long the camping fan will run when fully charged. Most fans have variable speed settings, so be sure to check the time it will run at the highest speed, as you may need this high power on very hot days. 

Built-In Light

Many tent fans have lights on it, which can often be set at different levels of brightness. Having your light and fan all rolled into one is a real space-saver and a good way to cut down on gear if you are backpacking. 

Adjustable Angle

Being able to adjust the angle of your tent fan is also a very important function. Usually speaking, you will have more than one other people with you to camp, an adjustable angle camping fan can keep everyone cool. Check to see if the fan can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically if you want bigger cooling area.

Noise Level

The main purpose of a tent fan is to keep you cool throughout the night, so it must run smoothly and quietly, without any annoying vibrations disturbing you.

Despite being light in weight, the best tent fans will be solidly constructed so that they don’t rattle whilst running. So you need to consider this when purchasing.

Power Source
One of the biggest differences between a camping fan and the household fan you already have at home is its power source. Rather than a typical plug that fits into a household electrical outlet, camping fans rely on one of two power sources: batteries or a camping power bank. Ideally, the best camping fan will be battery operated, as it is not guaranteed that you will have access to a power source. Most camping fans have rechargeable batteries built-in.

Given that fresh batteries can be difficult to obtain while camping, and that camping fan power usage can vary considerably, it is recommended that you bring three or four sets of spares with you to ensure your camping fan has enough power to last your entire trip. If you plan to use a power bank for your camping fan on your next trip, consider sizing up to a larger camping power bank or bringing along a solar panel to recharge the bank on trips where you will be out for several days. Some fans may also offer the option to connect to mains power with an AC adapter, so if this is an important feature to you be sure to check the specifications for your particular model.

Safety
There are many ways that tents fans can cause injury, so considering potential hurts in advance can help prevent dangers. If you are camping somewhere with changeable weather, be careful the surrounding environment, or consider whether your tent fan will need to be covered at nighttime or when not in use. For anyone that is planning to hook up their camping fan overhead, keep an eye on if the connection point is safety or not, and whether they will need to be reinforced with something sturdier. Finally, if you are camping with small kids, as their small fingers may easily hurt by the chink of the fan, ensure that fans are both out of reach and have safety mechanisms to prevent hurt.

UnitedStar’s 2-in-1 Outdoor Camping Fan with LED Light is a good option for camping lovers. It can be used from 4.5 hours to 10 hours. With solar charging, users have much choice to charge the fan.

I hope that this guide helps you find the suitable camping fan for your needs to make your next camping in the outdoors become cooler and more comfortable, no matter how hot the weather!
