For some reason I want to say to you...thank you dad!!!. This is the tutorial I was looking for, is hot as hell camping here in Texas.
Lol you ain’t lying, currently installing a mini split a/c on my travel trailer so I can eventually run it on solar
If you run another vent tube to the air intake of the front of the unit so it can recycle the cold air it will cool more efficient and the compressor won’t have to run all the time.
I know I just didn’t have time to rig up an intake hose we were headed out pretty quick and I had a lot to get ready. But hey thanks for the advice, one I get it finished I’ll probably make an update video.
Thanks for this!!!
No problem, I have so many new ways for a/c but hard to beat the cheap window units
So I did this for a few years then when the ac quit I bought one of the stand up indoor models that vents the hot air out of the tube. Works like a champ
My little a/c hasn’t died yet
I have seen this done a few ways. It is nice staying cool in the hot nights. I have been known to have a airconditoner blowing into a ground tent when at a electric site. Nice setup. I haven't had much time to get back on my trailer setup. Hoping to get back on it this week. Have a great 4th. 👍
Happy 4th to you too
Great video! Maybe you can extend the thermostat enough to run into the tent to keep it at the temp you like? Great idea brother. Heat is what keeps me away from summer camping.
I never tried cooling down a tent like that, but that's a great idea you got there! 😁👍 Have a great day!
It works well, we’ve tried it out since the making of the video, I’m happy with it!
😂 people must love you at the campsites
Actually they do, get nothing but compliments
What rack do you have your tent on? Thanks for the video. You should do an update video with any mods done since, and any issues youve experienced.
I built the rack the tent was sitting on, I’ve since removed the rack and sold that tent. I have a rack from go rhino that’s on my truck and a new hard shell tent from CVT
What would you think the best way to seal AC ducts to tents so no bugs get in? Can I cut holes in the tent then tie fishing line around them? Or a bungee cord?
Hmm not sure I thought about buying 2 4” flanges and sandwich them together through the tent and cut the fabric out of the hole.
@@Xploring_The_Outdoors I'm trying to figure out a substance I can calk around the sides to seal it in. I don't mind if the ducts are permanently attached to the tent either.
@@dinosanchez8528 I’ll give it some thought, I’m at overland expo west currently
Hey man, i have a 14ft single axel that i wanted to put a tent like that on. Be able to slide a atv under it and add accessories. Do you mind telling me what materials you used to make the mount? Thanks and have a great day.
I I used 1 1/2” x 3” rectangular tubing 3/16 wall. I ordered mine through metals depot. Thanks for watching got any more questions let me know glad to help.

Sweet man thanks. Ill be giving them an order. I want a small base camp to be able to take in the woods and just take for a night out when i get a wild hair. Paying tons of money for a camper just isnt in the ball park.
@@richardr4786 you can definitely build a sweet base camp trailer like mine for a decent price
how did this hold up in the long run with the rerouting with ducting???
It did great , I’ve since dismantled the trail but have a roof top tent on my truck and I’ve still got the a/c and it still works great
@@Xploring_The_Outdoors thanks so much I am doing a build now! THanks so much for your build
@@kbadboy83 no problem, the insulated ducting doesn’t sweat as bad
@@Xploring_The_Outdoors thanks for the tip! I just kept hearing people that with the re-routing that A/C's were giving up on life due to over frosting due to the condensing of the ducting. SO another qestion if you have time...What is the highest temp that you have used this in and how well did it cool?
@@kbadboy83 I’m in Texas so when I was using it 90-100 day it’d get the tent to mid 80’s. The sun heating the fabric up so much it’s just an oven which during the day we were riding sxs on trails and hitting up waterfalls to cool off. At night I set the temp to 70 and it was 70 and cycling on and off. My son stole all the blankets lol it gets the humidity out of the tent running the 2 hoses to recirculate the air and that alone here made a huge difference in sleeping
Brah, safety glasses
Yea I know, I should’ve had some on. But learn from my mistakes. I get yelled at when I weld too because I don’t like long sleeves or gloves lol.
@@Xploring_The_Outdoors Just messing brother.
@@metalmelisha250 No problem but never hurts to remind someone of safety
