Portable Air Conditioners for Camping


Camping is an enjoyable outdoor activity and provides a chance to connect with Mother Nature in the setting of your choice. During the summer, which is the most preferred time of year to go camping, the heat can cause sleepless nights. A portable air conditioner goes a long way towards cooling your tent or RV and controlling humidity to facilitate a comfortable camping adventure.

Purpose of an air conditioner when camping

Condensation Control: Air conditioners are useful when camping because of their condensation handling abilities. They remove water from the air thereby reducing humidity and providing a much more comfortable and healthy environment.

Filter's Air: They don't only cool the temperature but also filter the air. This is quite helpful as the unit removes pollutants which cause allergies such as dust, bacteria, and pollen found near most camp sites. They can also be used for camping and should be vented with air in-take and output hoses to make sure proper air circulation. Vented units are much more appropriate as well since they can be placed outside your tent, saving space in your tent and minimizing noise levels. These units are exceptionally quiet, but it just makes sense to place them outdoors, away from your sleeping area. And the venting is easy... just place the hose under a tent flap or through a window opening.

Heating and Cooling Options: Be sure to choose a model that heats as well as cools. For those who camp during cold weather the heating function comes in handy as it keeps you warm. You can also dehumidify and doing so is important because low humidity levels hinder the growth of mould and halt condensation and the feeling of dampness that can sour your camping experience.

They are safe to use and can be a vital addition to your camping trip. They do not limit you to certain climates and can be used when on a fishing expedition, even ice fishing. They also come in handy when going hunting in the woods.Tents are not designed to be fire resistant and it therefore goes without saying that lighting a fire within the tent vicinity is a big no. Portable air conditioners are safe to use, meaning you are free to set it up just next to your tent without worry about it being hazardous. Rain is also not an issue because they are designed in a way which protects their electrical fittings, they are made for outdoor use! Another beneficial feature is the ability to generate power by using a small generator. This option is for those adventuresome souls who enjoy camping in remote areas where there is no source of electricity. Another preferred feature is portability, choose a unit that is light weight and has convenient carrying handles built-in.

Camping should be a quiet experience, having peace and tranquility is one of the reasons people retreat to nature. It's worth re-stating a good camping AC should produce minimal noise levels to help you connect with nature.
