Yes Dave, you will need the Fan in Tasmania. Some people fit their own made from computer fans.
Another use I found for my fan is if the mirror dews up fairly badly you can help it dry out by taking the scope inside (or wherever you will store it), leave it sitting horizontal (so that the mirror is vertical) and turn the fan on. Even with extremely heavy dew I have dried my mirror in around 10 minutes this way.
My fan has helped prevent fogging of the mirrors when viewing too! If I see the beginnings of dew on the mirrors I turn the fan on and the fogging goes within a minute.
