Is the vent fan in the basement adjustable?  Either fan speed or temp control.  We r dry camping and this stinken fan keeps blowing. 

85F outside, bay door open,. 92F at the heat sensor box.
Scott:

Consider this adjustable thermostat, this one was installed in some Foretravels to control the basement cooling fan. The SPDT relay can be wired to either open or close on temperature rise. You will want close on rise for a cooling fan.

Lots of line voltage cooling only tstats available out there, Honeywell makes a ton of different of flavors that are very rugged and very dependable for commercial applications. Pick and choose your on & off points. Zoro may well be a good source as they are rumored to be the online division of the industrial supplier Graingers at discounted prices. Adjustable temps and deadband prevent short cycling and premature fan motor failure, or the equipment you are trying to protect. So check the specifications of the item you are "cooling"  Dell fresh air  computer servers are happy with the "cold aisle" intake temps of 95 and are Warrantied to 113 intake temps for a certain number of hours. So these server rooms do not have to have expensive dedicated HVAC units. I am in the HVAC industry and I  sell value, with many repeat
