Hi Mike,

I use a small two speed oscillating fan I got from Wal-Mart for $10.  It
plugs into the cigarette lighter and it has a spring clip that allows you to
place it pretty much anywhere you want.  I use it in the back to direct the
A/C air up front most of the time.  When I'm camping or just hanging out
I'll move it to whereever is appropriate (for example, up in the pop-top
sleeping area, outside to my chair, etc.).  When it gets colder it's coming
out of the van.  When camping I run it off of one of those portable jump
start batteries so I can run it all night without worrying about draining
the van's battery.
