Re: cooling your tent or van

SOLVED! Thank you Figjam. You are indeed GOOD. The wiring was really confusing because the red and yellow went into the connector from the fan. I wasn't really familiar with the controller wire and all. Not sure how I had it wired to get it working originally as the black from the fan was not connec...
