![]() In the south everyone know that the humidity is outrageous. So while I am still debating spending thousands of dollars on a camper with an air conditioner, I thought I would investigate a portable air conditioner if it works. Any ideas?
I saw one here, but dont know http://www.kooleraire.com/ Another good reason for the product review section mentioned here.... ![]() |

![]() I have never seen a tent airconditioner that had a condenser on it to dehumidify the air.
They all use ice and mist to cool the tent. I don't need any more humidity... I need less! Here is a review I read when I was looking to buy the same koolaire you mention: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...9050508AAXHXum If you camp in dry heat... they would probably be perfect! |

![]() The research you're doing for this item is what you need. I always go on-line to get the questions answered. Usually, you can find the answers you need. It does take time though. Good luck finding the right air conditioner for you.

![]() That's what we had in our garage when we moved in here. It kept the garage cool during the summer. We have a weight set out there. The window air conditioner was perfect. It was an older model, but that didn't matter. They sell them everywhere. I've seen them listed in the paper- the want adds. You could try that.

![]() That model that you mentioned cricket is okay for short spells but it is not made for running for long periods.
I am not really sure either about the humidity issue. I think it is jsut cooling and misting not removing the water from the air. |

![]() You don't want to add to the humidity problem. I know that you might have to try it and see if it works. If you end up with too much humidity, then get something else. My Grandma had a humidifier on all the time. Because we had dry air.

![]() About "I have never seen a tent airconditioner that had a condenser on it to dehumidify the air"
Well, if it is true, then tent air conditioner in this forum is similar like split air conditioner models. Last edited by l2l; 04-27-2010 at 09:56 PM.. Reason: Removed Advertising |

![]() If you have a small window unit laying around you could just use some flexible ducting and run it into your tent and bam instant cold

![]() Instead of an A/C, what would be a good fan for the tent? I really don't want to miss out camping time b/c of the heat/humidity in VA! I don't have a rod inside to hang a fan on...Thanks!

I noticed the site doesn't have any description of how it works or diagrams of it, to me it looks like a plastic cover over an ice chest ![]() |

![]() The best I've read about these models is from someone who advised to put a tray of ice in front of a fan before wasting money in this. They may work a little better in dry and low humidity regions, but I don't know of any 12 V AC unit in the market that works as a compressor unit.
![]() You will be better with a small window unit. I have a 5000 BTU unit that works as "portable" for my truck camper. I install it through the camper window before nightfall (can post some pictures later). In the meantime Check this link for a window unit installed in a camping tent. There is some advice there and a photo. |

![]() ^ that's creative, are they using an inverter\converter? (I always get the two confused)
