As temperatures climb this summer, you are likely looking for efficient ways to help your RV climate control system keep the interior of your RV cool, fresh and comfortable. At home, you may use ceiling fans to help move warm or cool air throughout your living and sleeping areas. However, a residential-type ceiling fan isn’t always an option in the compact design of an RV.
That’s why Shurflo, the leading water pump supplier for the RV industry for over 40 years, has put its engineering know-how into their Comfort Air™ Fans, a line of air circulation fan/ceiling vent combos that take RV ventilation to a new level, with industry-first and exclusive features unavailable on other brands. And RV manufacturers have taken note: with over $4 million in Comfort Air sales in their first three years, Comfort Air Fans are specified by such elite manufacturers as K-Z, Foretravel, Keystone and DRV.
Year-Round Efficiency
Comfort Air Fans are more than just ceiling vents; they are all-in-one ventilation systems that circulate air throughout your coach, and can be used with the dome open or closed. Comfort Air Fans are available in three models: Silver, Gold and Platinum. Each of the three fan models functions like a residential-style ceiling fan when the dome is used in exhaust mode, with the dome closed.
In exhaust mode with the dome closed, the fan pulls air up and pushes it out and around the coach. In warm weather, the fan pulls cooler air upward and circulates it throughout the area, helping your air conditioner cool the RV’s interior more efficiently. When temperatures cool down in autumn, the fan pushes warm air down, helping the furnace more efficiently keep your coach cozy.
With the dome open, the fans move the air into or out of your RV fast, with intake capacities from 230 to 910 cubic feet per minute (Gold and Platinum models) and exhaust capacities from 260 to 980 cubic feet per minute (all models), making these the most powerful fans in the industry. An exclusive snap-out screen removes without tools for easy cleaning.
It’s easy to find the right Comfort Air Fan for every area of your RV, if it didn’t come from the manufacturer already equipped with them. Each model offers features well-suited for specific areas of the RV, such as the main living area, the master bedroom, the kitchen and the bathroom.
All Comfort Air models offer an exclusive space-age fan blade design that swiftly moves air across and around the RV instead of blowing straight up or down. This greatly improves the fan’s comfort and effectiveness, allowing it to move air into or out of the entire RV living area instead of just the area under the fan.
Another Comfort Air exclusive that is standard on all three models is a variable speed control that lets you choose the level of airflow you need instead of only one, two or three pre-set speeds. Lower speeds offer whisper-quiet sound levels and a gentle breeze for sleeping or watching TV. Choose higher speeds for an instant rush of air circulation to cool and freshen the RV interior. At a power draw from only .30 to 3.65 amps, you can run the fan for longer periods without depleting coach batteries.
With the industry’s best airflow, the exhaust-only Silver Comfort Air quickly evacuates stale air and odors from your RV bath or kitchen. Close the dome and it becomes a ceiling fan to circulate warm or cool air, helping control temperatures in often-compact bathrooms or kitchens overheated from cooking. The Silver fan features an easy-operating white translucent dome; speed and dome controls are located on the ceiling panel.
The Gold Comfort Air offers the same powerful exhaust as the Silver model to sweep hot air and odors out plus it adds a reversible fan that sweeps cool, fresh air in, making it a versatile, efficient fan for any area of your RV. Dome, speed and directional controls are on the ceiling panel, and it can be used with the smoke-tinted dome up as a fresh air vent or closed as a ceiling fan.
With the industry’s first remote control, the Platinum Comfort Air allows you to operate every function from anywhere in your coach. Adjust the thermostat, fan speed and direction, even the open height of the dome, all at the touch of a button, without straining to reach the controls.
Because of the convenient remote control feature, the Platinum is ideal for use in 5th wheels or other RVs with high ceiling height. The Platinum is also ideal for use in any RV’s master bedroom, letting you adjust the fan speed and direction, dome position and thermostat without getting up out of bed. The Platinum also offers a built-in rain sensor which automatically closes the power dome if a rain shower occurs.
All Comfort Air Fans fit in standard 14" x 14" ceiling cut-outs, so no matter which model you choose, it will easily fit the existing vent opening and connect with the existing 12-volt wiring from your old vent. Shurflo’s two-year warranty covers the entire assembly.
