Mounting a New 12 v Fan in the Bedroom

My wife and I like the sound and feel of a fan running while we sleep. I was going to mount one in the bedroom of our 2015 27 DSRL but I had a few questions. I wanted to mount it either on the ceiling or upper outside wall in the corner away from the outside door. I thought we would be less in the way in that corner than anywhere else. Has anyone done anything like this and can give me some pointers? Is there access to 12 volt power in that area or would I have to run new power? Is it possible to run wire in the ceiling or is it full of insulation? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Jeff

I mentioned to the DW this past weekend that someone could earn huge money by developing a ceiling fan for RV's, a 12v fan that mounted to the ceiling, but only protruding downward three or so inches. Power could be pulled from a nearby ceiling light, seems to be a very doable upgrade.

I saw this 2 speed 12 volt fan for $30.

You can get wire track to hide the wire to the nearest available wiring point at Lowes/home/menards.

I looked around and found a ceiling hugger 12 volt ceiling fan for RVs!

Thanks Roger. I wasn't even considering a ceiling fan because I always thought they were only for 5th wheels and motorhomes with high ceilings. I never realized that they came with such a low profile. Thanks to your link I did some research and found one that would work nicely for us. Thanks again.
