What about the vents on the top of the air conditioner? On the "side seals" thing, you might want to use some kind of foam, or maybe Reflectix to help insualte as well as seal. Oh and FYI, I am going to check to see if I can do this with my Ozark Trail cabin tent...
Great video... fantastic information. Question: If you didn't have electrical hook up... what kind of portable power station/generator (not gas) would you use? Thank you for sharing this video.
Hello, I made this video for my kids when they borrow the tent and AC so they can set it up the way I do. So, I didn't come back here for any comments. If you still need an answer, I would get a small inverter generator. They are the quietest and a 2000 watt would run the small AC unit. You must use a heavy-duty extension cord so I would get a 10 gauge.
very smart idea, but I think you could do better by using Styrofoam panels on the "side seals" this would also insulate that part of the tent better from exchange, I will be copying your idea but I am going to insulate it better around and not use bluejeans material lol.

Hello, that is why I made the stand I have it sitting on. It sits at a slight angle so the AC will actually touch the tent screen. The front is higher than the back and works great with no issues
That is because your house roof may be a dark coloured roof, which absorbs a lot of heat, making your home much hotter. Did you know that having a white roof instead can reduce your house temperatures as much as 5°C/9°F cooler during the day meanwhile, on the surface of the white roof can be 10 to 15°C/18 to 27°F cooler compared to a dark coloured roof. 👍
No modification to the tent. It is an Ozark Instant tent and it came with the bottom flap for use as a vent. I was able to use it for the small AC unit.
I never had to dig. But if necessary one only needs 1/4 inch wide but no deeper than 1 or 2 inches. First rain fills that back in. Meanwhile, I do not believe anyone is going to trip over a 1/4 inch wide trench. This trench was just for the side seals I made from thin plywood and blue jean material. Maybe I wasn't clear
