Camping Trip With The Zero Breeze Mark 2: • Will It Work? Solo Air... Link to Zero Breeze Mark 2 ($80 OFF CODE: David80): bit.ly/3MC9Zcc #TentAirConditioning #Camping #Overlanding
One thing that worked great for me in my military vehicle with no AC was to take an old rain jacket and pipe the air outlet into the jacket like a mini spacesuit. Yes I lo9ked like a zeppelin with the jacket inflated, but I was nice and cool!
The buttons are multi functional you can turn off the bright blue lights at night, it also has car mode so it won’t completely drain the battery and you can change the temp reading from F to C
Also the LCD panel is clear and intuitive, and the sleep mode is perfect for night time. It’s also very lightweight and compact, so I can store it in a small space when not in use.
Hey David, i just bought the Zero breeze mark 2, I just came back from a over night camping trip to Sam Houston National Forest and just like you dealing with extreme Texas heat and high humidity, the zero worked out GREAT in truck camping in my 4runner, it got really cold, I used the battery pack that Zero Breeze came with, but only lasted 6 hours and switched power over to my Jackery 1000 for the rest of the nigh. Also a tip i used two little Ryobi 18V Cordless 4 in. Clamp Fan to circulate the air in the truck.
Yeah, zerobreeze battery only can last for 3.5-6 hours according to the working wattage of the Mark2, but I also bought a zerobreeze elechive power station which have 2500wh so that I can let the mark2 run for more longer.
@@Ob3ysteeze I would say as for the design/price/portability it was 4/5 stars. It is definitely not going to turn a tear drop into a refrigerator during the day (100+ degree heat). I had the unit outside, instead of inside the trailer (just because of the space available inside). I wrapped the cold air duct in a beach towel to reduce the cold air loss. Which I will probably fix that in the future. The unit does not have a duct to recirculate the air, and is just an opening under the cold air port. I ordered it with 2 batteries, and the batteries worked very well for 1 night at max power. I think if you just have 1 or 2 people in the trailer, you'd be fine. We had 2 adults and a child, so body heat is also going to affect it. If you have the money for it, I would say buy it for those hot nights! Especially if you do a lot of overlanding/camping it's pretty compact, lightweight, and seems pretty durable. But do not expect it to push tons of air like a normal air conditioner, maybe an inline fan for the duct could make it more effective? It definitely worked its little heart out on our trip and served its purpose (I couldn't imagine not having it now lol). I may buy some flexible dryer duct and wrap in some insulation and aluminum duct tape.
@@ranger275th9 i made a sleeping platform inside of my tacoma cab to sleep in..and have 3 fans on my power station inside. Im curious if it will help cool the cabin down at night when i sleep at the parks or beach. It does sound like it will work. I guess ill order it and see how it does..also use the ideas of wrapping the duct with something to keep the tube cooler. Thanks for the feedback
I have a 5000 btu window unit and a Yamaha 2000 watt generator. The problem is I'm worried about stealth camping in parking lots. I have a pop up truck camper and just need to cool the sleeping area which is 2 feet high and the size of a queen bed. I thought I could put some foam over the canvas and a curtain to contain area. Pretty sure the zb could drop that area 10 degrees. Kind of stinks to spend $ 2300.00, though, especially when I have the other stuff already.
can you estimate how much moisture is collected thru the night? Is that something that could be put into a small bucket or a 2-liter bottle or ?? Or is it gallons of liquid?
Thanks! Great video. Not understanding the intake hose being outside. I would want to have it recirculating and as far away from hot exhaust as possible
It has two intakes the rear intake uses outside air to do the heat exchange, the front intake is the return air to keep conditioning the air in the tent and remove humidity
you are not cooling the air that comes in with the intake hose , you are cooling the coils , so you wave to air flows , one to cool the coils , for that you use outside air, and then push that air out trough the other hose , and the second flow is the air inside the tent
@@bernardodehoyos3762 I understand the process. But If this can only cool down 20-30 degrees lower than outside temp. Put the Intake hose inside so it has less cooling to do. Cool down the already cool air rather than cooling down 80 degree air.
@@FiveOendurobecause the way you are suggesting is doing this , cool down air , use that cool air to coil the compressor cool the compressor coil and then push that air out of the tent with the exhaust hose imagine your Home Central AC and you add a duct to channel air form inside the house to cool down the compressor coil outside your home remember the unit has two intakes the rear intake uses outside air to do the heat exchange, the front intake is the return air to keep conditioning the air in the tent and remove humidity
The intake for your AC for your home is in the inside. Whatever the air it takes in is the air it will pull the heat out of and then blow it outside. The intake should be in the inside and would speed up the cooling (by removing more heat).
I bought the ecoflow and it's too big and heavy and the battery doesn't charge independently, it has to be attached to the air conditioner to charge, next time I'll try the zero breeze.
