princess auto they've got tons of 110v/24v/12v dc fans + power supplies (if you don't have dozens lying around).

Watch for the brushless fans, much quieter, less watts.

Suppose it depends on which store your at on which day... I just checked the camper - I retrofitted a pair of 35mm 12v brushless fans into it this summer (helps the LPG fridge's efficiency). Unfortunately given it's surplus material - you're stuck with hit and miss on stocking...

StirCrazy has it right! It's most likely 40mm, most commonly I've seen 40mm x 10mm

Sunon make good quality fans, and you can choose how many CFM and RPM (and voltage too!)

Any sku listed as 'vapo':
