Trying to decide if the Wave 2 or 3 can fit my camping needs.(mostly looking for similar experience but helpful advice is welcome)

💬 Open Discussion

Hello, I am looking to buy an AC for tent camping. I’m having a difficult time finding others with the same idea as me. I am looking to cool a non insulated tent for camping during warmer months. I would mostly be camping in Alabama. The tent is an 8 person Big Agnes tent with rainfly on in order to somewhat trap air inside. Everything I have seen is people trying to cool their tents or campers in the middle of the day with the sun beating down and it 90+ degrees outside. I feel as if that’s pretty unrealistic. And I know insulated and airtight is better but I’m not currently in that position. So does anyone have experience cooling a non insulated tent at night with a wave unit? Roughly 75 to 80 degree ambient temps at night. And if so was the eco or sleep mode actually useful or did you have to run it full blast in order for it to actually do something. How was power consumption for nighttime use. Can you make it the full night with its additional battery or do you have something bigger?
