Cooling scamp 19 Deluxe Loft

[hghsl]

On a scamp 19 Deluxe with front bath room, to cool the loft. I got a 4 inch inline duct fan and ran a flexible duct in the loft storage area above the bath room, and have an intake vent in the wall above the bath room door and a vent beside the left side of the storage area door at the rear of the loft. I got the fan on amazon. The fan is over 200 cfm . This fan moves a lot of air and is very quiet. This set up makes a noticeable difference in the loft area. This set up helps heat the loft in cold weather also.

Nice! Which direction does the fan blow? Based on the photos I’m guessing towards the area above the bathroom door where the dryer vent can blow out?

no. the vent above the bathroom door is the intake. there is no flapper on it. You want to blow the cold air from the ac unit into the loft. The loft vent has a deflector on it so you can direct and control the air flow like the ac vents on your car

Just curious is the fan noisy?
I think I would like to do this but might use a computer fan?

The fan is very quiet.A computer fan would not move nearly enough air. The fan I used is a dedicated duct fan. This fan will move 195 cubic feet per minute in a 4 inch duct. I would not use a fan with less cfm than 195 cfm. If I was to do this over again I would use a six inch fan, six inch ducts, and six inch vents. A six inch fan would move twice the amount of air.
