Well I looked at them. But then went with a 20.00 battery operated 12 inch fan from K mart. My reason, sometimes it is hot in a tent.
So I can use it for cooling or moving heat. Two speeds.

Better option I thought.

The back quarter (our small wall tent attached) does get cold still but our woodstove is generally parked at one end. We haven't got smart enough to switch things up and have our woodstove centrally located. I would recommend for a lightweight powerless fan. Who wants to bring a battery or run the generator all night!
