Looking for a cabin fan to run off my house power (dc) for the night. I think there is some low power ones that are supposed to move some good air. Anybody have suggestions?

I once ordered in and tested about a dozen of them, comparing amp draw to how much air they moved blowing on my face and the sound. Best one I found was one called "Endless Breeze"... or something like that, anyways.
Have you thought of buying a battery one. I have the Milwaukee one and get it to last all night long no problem on one battery.

In comparison to other (normal) 12V fans... yes. In comparison to boat ownership or the "enjoyment of the fan"... no. Well worth the money in my book.

It works off their M18 line of batteries so they interchange with their tools. The bigger battery has no issue running all throughout the night and last about 2 days (running at night only) from a full charge depending on speed. Lost power from a hurricane one year and definitely helped out during the summer nights.

I use the one from Home Depot. On the boat and at night during this warm spell. I think it was $60 C. Very quiet and efficient on 18V battery. Cheers trapper 8) 8) 8)

This 12” fan from Atwood is what I use on my boat trips.
It plugs into your boats 12v to charge the fan's battery during the day. That charge will get you through the night on low or medium fan speed, but probably not on high speed. Or, you can just run it off your boat's 12v all night and use high speed.
There is also a 110v cord if you have that available to you. If so, you're also good to run on high all night.
I think this cost around $100.
