Following on the vaguely related note - I got one of those fans at
Wallyworld, too.  Worked great on a camping trip to the Purgatorie
River when it was hot in the afternoons, and even as a plug in for
12v direct power (although no adaptor is included with it, alas),
lasts a long time, and now is a definite part of my Westy kit.  FWIW.
