Well, perhaps you are still unfamiliar about tent air conditioners but usually they are portable air conditioning appliances that popular among campers. They are really handy appliances and offer great flexibility access that can be carried not too difficultly where ever the location of the camping. They can be placed and installed inside (so recommended) and outside (not too powerful) of the tent easily. They are one of primer equipments when you go camping especially during the summer season.

They are already designed uniquely and different than if we compare to other regular air conditioning units. They usually use portable source energy like recharge battery power. This mechanism is not only purposed to encourage the portability feature but also will be helpful to encourage the safety when we are camping in the outdoors. Nevertheless, we have to operate them properly as well as the recommendation of the manufacture’s operational guidelines of the unit. You can purchase them with more affordable in prices that usually dependent on sizes, features and the energy efficiency rating. They are usually priced at around hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars.

Basically, tent air conditioners are designed to cool the small space (the size of tent). They offer spot cooling performance that can cool the spot space more specifically. They are simple appliances that can work well without need water supply, bulky accessories, or messy hoses. They consume less energy and work more efficient, in accordance with the main philosophy behind of their perfection. Moreover, not only for camping activity but they can be used for other similar activities such as for aircraft, RV, boats, automotives, and still many more.

There are many popular brands or manufactures that produce tent air conditioners, and below are several of those brands:

1. “Coleman”, well… This manufacture offer their superior product like 2SPD stand tent fan, it offers great performance of their D battery (claimed can supply the energy more powerful and make the unit keep work longer (more than 21 hours)). They have two powerful fans that are designed with folds mechanism (it is helpful to store easily the unit when unused). Their other product is Zephyr. This product is superior with fan controller (function; to set the speed of the fan and the light) and capable to keep the comfortable humidity level inside of the tent when the unit is running.
2. Then “Daewoo” (especially their product that is named as WM-501). This product can be used with a generator so thus you don’t have to worry anymore about how long the unit will keep working, because it does not use battery for the power supply. But this product seems not-too handy but more powerful to cool air when you are camping.
3. Then “Kooleraire” offers 12 volt tent air conditioners. They can be fitted into quart coolers (around 28 to 25). For the maximal performance you can add ice over on these products. They are usually more affordable than others.

The best time for shopping and making deal to buy a tent air conditioner is during the off season (such as a couple months after the summer season). In the off season you can purchase them relatively cheaper, because during this period many manufactures and stores usually will produce new models for the next season. Moreover, during this period the demand of using air cooling appliances decrease significantly. But unfortunately, you cannot find the newest design and model of tent air conditioning that usually come with more modern features. Therefore, make sure the unit that you want to purchase in this period will not out of style when the next summer season comes.

Don’t forget also to consider about the long warranty and the maintenance cost. In addition, usually there are many companies that offer 1 year long warranty on parts and labor. For better performance you can also consider extra accessories that are usually offered separately. Consider also the air filter quality to ensure the air output keep clean and safe for your respiratory system.
