Metal construction and power options
The RoadPro RP-1179 is a 7.5-inch diameter fan built with 100% heavy-duty metal and a chrome finish. It operates on 12V DC power drawn from a cigarette lighter socket and also supports 24V and 125V AC input. Two-speed settings provide high and low airflow options for truck cabins and similar vehicles.
Permanent mounting with included hardware
Installation uses the supplied hardware to fix the unit permanently on the dash, top panel or side panel. An adjustable swivel-ball base allows directional aiming once mounted. The 10-foot power cord reaches most socket locations, though permanent mounting means the fan cannot be moved easily between vehicles.
Airflow for single-occupant cabins
The 7.5-inch metal blade moves enough air for one person in a truck cab on the high setting. Low speed reduces noise for overnight stops. The fan draws up to 10 amps, so the vehicle socket and fuse must handle that load. It is not suited for cooling larger sleeper compartments or multiple occupants.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the RP-1179 fan is running correctly after mounting it?
Plug the 10-foot cord into a 12V cigarette lighter socket, switch to high or low, and feel steady airflow from the 7.5-inch metal blades.
What comes in the box and what must I source separately for the RP-1179?
The fan, permanent-mount hardware and 10-foot DC cord are included; a 12V vehicle socket is required but not supplied.
Which version of the RP-1179 should I choose for a 24V truck system?
The specifications list 12V and 24V compatibility, so this single model works on both voltage systems.
