Good start…I’m not much of a hot weather camper…this AC issue is the main reason. I like having a work around…good to know …I guess I need a new tent🤷🏻♂️
I hear ya! There is no way I could tent camp during the Florida summer without having this A/C set up
I think you just helped define the phrase micro climate. This is what I've been waiting for 👍
yeah, when it shuts down blowing, hit the eco button it should start blowing again, if it gets too cold hit mode and when it start getting hot hit mode to cool again if you raise the temp it will be cheating the whole idea of getting frozen. haha. stay cool!
I appreciate this video lots of good tips on the air-conditioning system hook up I've been looking for something like this for a while and you gave me a lot of good ideas on how to stay cool when you're camping
Thanks for your support in watching and I’m glad you found some value in it . So far it’s worked great for me 😀
Wow I never thought to do that. Thanks for sharing this information! I’ve been wanting to camp again here in Atlanta but the heat 😂
New subscriber love the content I am amazed with the air conditioner tent my mind is blown 😮love it 😊
Thank you! I am amazed with it as well. So far it’s worked great 😊
Keep the temperature to it's lowest degree shouldn't shut off. And make sure it's not on the eco mode.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll try that next time 👍🏼
This video is great for we Texans who experience 10° more on average than hes talking..
Very Smart! Great video!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing
Can't you use a regular window if your tent doesn't have an AC window? Of course, you would have to cover the unused portion, but I wouldn't think the AC window is a must.
Yes you can, basically you can put the AC unit up to any mesh area on the tent but as you mentioned you’ll need to make sure to block the remaining surface area to prevent cold air from escaping.
I hang my A/C from ropes out of the tree then move the tent into the A/C above, and throw a sleeping bag over it all to force the cool air down into the tent.
Wow!That’s interesting . Never thought of doing it that way .
you need add a fan to keep air moving, or put ac fan on continuous.
Great video bro , is the 20amp outlet all you can use for tent camping or is there a adapter to go with the 30amp to reduce it down to where more stuff can be plugged in ?
I just used an extension cord plugged into the 30 amp electrical outlet, and placed an adapter on the end of the extension cord to create more outlets so I can plug additional things into it.
@@WhereisHammer The 30amp outlet is to the left of your extension cord. The outlet you have your cord plugged into is the 20amp .
@@davenstorm7271 Oh I see, in that case I’ve never used a 30amp outlet before. I’ve only used 20amp. However , I did find some 30amp outlet adapters with 20amp plugs on Amazon. Hope this helps. amzn.to/3K5h6cI
@whereishammer Yeah you can buy the 30amp cord at wall mart for about 20 bucks then buy a 20 Amp adapter to fit the 30amp plug , put you another extension cord to run a ton more things like a microwave or what ever !
I haven’t seen any videos of someone trying to use a Cabela's Outdoorsman Series 5,000W/4,000W RV-Ready Portable Generator for a tent and a portable air conditioner. Is it possible to do?
I’m sure you can. As long as the generator has an AC electrical outlet to plug the AC unit in then it should work. However I’m not sure how much watts the AC unit will need. Also some campgrounds might have restrictions on the usage of generators .
Drop the thermostat to the lowest temp and it’ll keep running
Thanks for the tip! I tried that on my last outing and it worked like a charm 👍🏼
Is this a 5000 or 6000 BTU ac unit?
It’s a 5000 BTU unit . It cools off the tent very well.
Probably need to turn off Eco mode.
You should speak louder because I can barely hear you.
Aircondition in dem billigsten Zelt. Ihr habt den schlag nicht gehört. 😅😅😅
