After this last trip and the heat while traveling threw the states going north and using motels for some cool comfort at night , I did learn something , Yep you can teach an old dog new tricks. Believe it or not.
The kids (Mary an Neil ) have an apartment up there in never , never land where it never gets hot , just cold.
The weather is warming up so they got a portable ac unit to use in the apartment and this has put me on a quest to locate one to use when out camping in the little pop up.
The camper is designed to take a 5,000 window unit but the little portable ones are self contained and are from 15,000 to 7,500 BTU units. Just find the right one , set it on the floor of the camper and plug it in , cool air while camping on the road.
I have located several ones , now all I need to do is to decide on which one to get , there are even some that are a reverse cycle for heat.
Does not matter , I am looking for the cold air but if the need would come up then the heat would be nice. Take out on the road , pull into a camping area , plug it in and then have a comfortable night in the camper. Very Happy There is nothing nicer then a bed you are use to when on the road and if it is camping then all the better , especially if you can have it nice and cool. This could open up a lot of summer camping for me down here in the land of heat and humidity during our 10 months of that pleasure.
I don't care how hot it gets during the day as long as I have a cool or cold place to sleep during the night and I think I have located the answer to that problem.
There are a lot of portable ac units out there on the market , deciding on which one is the problem. I will find one for me to use and enjoy , then it will be camping all year long , forget the motels.
Old folks do need there comfort and familure sleeping areas such as there home or there bed on wheels away from the normal home. :lol:
A good portable unit will run from $300.00 to $450.00 not the the $1,000 or more a RV place wants you to spend for a ac unit permentley attached in your camper , plus these can be removed and used in the house , a boat , motel room or anywhere you want cool air. Even a family size tent.
