Thanks for your tips. Please perform the temp testing next time. That would be fantastic.
I was born and raised here.
Thanks for the video, This is the best set up because a window unit is way cheaper than those portable AC units that do not work very well and also you can take a inverter type generator that is very quiet. You did a great job figuring out everything I am going to do this very same thing for me and my wife when we go camping Thanks to you. We did the RV thing and looking at lake lots etc, But it is way too expensive for a RV plus insurance and also lake lot property taxes. your way is the best way and you have more freedom to go where ever you want in the country.
Thank you! Yes it’s a very affordable and effective way to go camping in Florida all year round . Hope you enjoy !
Wow we do 2 tarps also. That works for late fall early winter camping as well to keep you heat in.
But we do just in case of heavy rain. Smart tip to give.😎⛺️
Yes! The two tarps work great 👍🏼
Cool fact: did you know that if you try using the portable air condition in a white tent for the summer days instead of any other colour tent then it will cool down much faster and the cooler air from inside the tent will last longer because having white tents reflects the sunlight heat to keep the sunlight heat from entering in the tent. Try searching up why white keeps you colder and you will see 👍. Try making a video to attempt having a white tarp added on top of your tent so you can see that it is doing the job of reflecting sunlight and for it to bring a extra installation for the inside and then for real try using the portable air conditioner this time 👍. Great video 😀 love it.
Thanks for the tip 💯👍🏼
Yup no problem 😉👍
You mean light colors reflect heat and dark colors absorb heat.,??
Omg I was just there in May!
The deer flies were killing us (my daughters and I) and the heat was horrendous (I’m from miami so I’m used to heat but it was hotter than anticipated!!)
I’m gonna try again with a window ac unit and I’ve been thinking of how to do finagle it… thank you for this video! So glad I came across it!
I hope this helps you out! Enjoy your camp trip, with AC this time lol 😁
I saw your first video as well, thus is great thank you for taking the time to make these videos and instructions. I saw a video where the guy cut material similar to the temt material in the shape of the mesh on the top with velcro to give more of a airtight seal.
never seen this before. Ive obviously seen heaters in tent but never AC. Awesome! great idea!
It’s worked great for me as a solution to summer camping in hot and humid weather
First time I came to this TH-cam channel... ✌🏻
• watching from Malaysia 🇲🇾🌺
Wife found this little collapsable stool at the Dollar General that is perfect for our Window Unit. It quite literally fills the entire window with no gaps. Another suggestion would be to use moving blankets from Harbor Frieght if you are sure its not going to rain instead of the 2nd tarp. Much heavier, so it keeps the cool air trapped in much better. We took a trip when it only dropped into the mid 80s at night, and it still got to 65 and shut off our window unit.
That’s a good idea I never thought of the moving blankets! Thanks 😀
Gotta new sub from me! Up in Jax, so may not need the AC for a bit but love the content!
Thanks 🙏🏼
Pretty cool setup, I enjoyed watching you build everything up and troubleshoot the vents not being lined up. I may have missed it, but did you mention the extension cord you use? I recommend a 12-gauge cable to avoid melting the extension cord. I speak from experience on that, nothing scarier than the fear of the extension cord catching on fire with my whole family in the tent.
Thanks for watching ! I’m really not sure of the exact type of extension cord. However this is something I should probably look into for the exact reason you mentioned . Never thought of that situation but I definitely want to avoid it lol..thanks again!
I bought a portable air conditioner that you carry into wherever your want to use it. It's self draining somehow and it made a huge difference. It was extremely heavy to me by you're a guy so it wouldn't bother you at all. It's just a matter of making room in your vehicle for it.
Awesome ! Yeah the portable AC unit can be quite heavy and can take up a lot of space, but sometimes it’s a necessity during the summer months
I meant to ask you, do you know approximately what size ac window the tent has or what are the measurements of the front of your ac unit? Thx in advance.
The front of the AC unit measures about 16” width x 11” height. The mesh AC window vent on the tent is larger in dimensions than the front of the AC unit. There is about a good inch or two of extra space
Hibdo you need a certain cord for the electrical box thanks
Hi , just a standard 3 prong extension cord will work.
@@WhereisHammer ok thanks
Is your tent the 6 person? I have the Ozark trail 4 person for car camping/storage and I have the 10 person with the screen room. I'm interested in the 6 person because its smaller and has the AC vent.
Hi yes in this video I am using the Ozark Trail 6 person instant tent with LED light. They also make a 4 person version of this tent as well.
Hi, check out the Powersmart Inverter Generator they come in different sizes and their prices right now are marked as much as 30 percent off. CR has them listed ranked as #2 & 3 powered inverter Generators. I picked up a 4500W normally almost $800 for $527 @ Powersmart or Walmart Online 3- yr warrant included from Powersmart They are Super quiet Inverter Generators , and again they have varying sizes that would run 5000BTU AC & >.
Is it better to put a tarp under your tent, the footprint, or inside the tent? Thanks. 1 John 4:10,11
It’s better to place the footprint underneath the tent. This helps to protect the bottom fabric of the tent from rocks and sticks that could puncture or tear the tent by adding that extra protective fabric layer. It also helps prevent water seeping into the tent from any puddles caused by rain under the tent. Hope this helps!
@@WhereisHammer Thanks.
Do you carry a generator for places with no electricity or do you make sure you have access to electricity when you plan on camping?
I don’t have a generator so when I plan to use the AC unit I always make sure to get a campsite with electric hook up
@@WhereisHammer thank you, sometimes I would dread going camping due to the really hot and humid south Texas weather we have but having an a/c will really be a game changer.

Are concerned about anyone trying to steal your unit?
There are some concerns with that and I suppose if someone really wanted to steal it they could.
