Question:

Is there a specific reason that I need to purchase a fan specifically for an RV?

The main differences you'll find between your usual residential fan and a fan intended for use in an RV like the # 277-000086 RV Ceiling Fan from AirForce is that many RV ceiling fans run on 12V DC (although this fan runs on 120V AC power). Another big difference is that most RV ceiling fans are the hugger style, with the motor sitting right up against the ceiling. This is due to the low ceiling height usually found in RV's.
