portable AC for camp??

[huntsd]

Does anyone use a portable AC for their camp/tent during early season? Looking for something like a Mr. Buddy heater, but for cooling a tent down...

there are some little swamp cooler type things made, but I never bothered.......

Ecoflow has a battery powered unit.

Unless you are going to run a generator, the solar / battery power needed for even a very small unit is pretty high.

I haven't used one but this is probably what I'd get. It's what I looked at for truck not equipped with AC. https://swampy.net/

Dewalt battery powered fan is pretty nice, or whatever cordless tool brand you have the most batteries from.

I don’t know what they are using lately, but the folks going to Burning Man put a lot of work into cooling - it’s a low humidity area so evaporative cooling works well, but I’ve seen small ac units with a supply and return duct piped into tents.

Anything Burners used to make themselves can now be bought on Etsy. Apparently when it’s real hot, the gals stay cooler wearing pasties. Lol

18 volt battery powered fans are pretty nice if you have enough batteries or a way to recharge them.

This looks interesting forsure

Evaporative cooling works ok under about 50% humidity.

Ecoflow Wave 2, as was already mentioned. Heater and AC in one unit. Their ebay store usually has refurbs at a pretty good price

Old post, but bringing it to the top. I live in Georgia and summer heat indexes make camping pretty rough. I’m curious if anyone has any experience with portable AC units in a tent. Me and my son love to camp but generally stop after May. Trying to avoid the cost of a hard side camper

If you have AC power* available, these things are basically a shrunken unitary version of a mini-split. Here at the house they pull between 120 and 550 Watts when the compressor is running, and just 10W with fan alone.

*If you don't need nighttime cooling, a couple of 400W PV panels and something like a Jackery would run it.
