This is sort of towing question.......is it ok to run one of the ceiling vent fans on low while going down the road? I want to run the bathroom fan at the rear of the camper blowing out on low and keep the center vent open but with the fan off in hopes of keeping the interior cooler while underway. We plan to use our camper on a trip this week as a pit stop and place for lunch and it would be really nice to keep the inside at ambient temps.

I have left my vent up about 30 degrees when going down the road to do the same thing but didn't run the fan. I will bet that the fan will contribute little. The venturi sucking effect at speed will move much more air.

That's what I think too.
