Okay here's my story laugh I grew up camping in a tent with nothing but the tent and blanket and pillow. But in Texas we all know that during the summer time it can be really hot. Well, I got married and tried to get the wife outdoors smile Well she said not with out an AC lol So I looked at some people duck taping an AC to their tent that's cool but not my style. I wanted something I didn't have to waste tape and wanted it to look professional. So I went out to a place and they wanted $300 to put a zipper on the tent, I said the hell with that. So I went on line and found a place called the acboot. On a 90 degree day with high humidity it got down to 64 degrees in my tent. I had a 5050 BTU AC. The wife was happy and made me happy. I messaged the owner that I had a hard time finding his product and made a video of it and added it to youtube. He sent us somethings to say thanks. We enjoy camping so much we now own a travel trailer. But just wanted to pass the info on for someone that may want to duck an AC in to their tent for the family. I don't work for them, make sure you go by their directions for install. http://www.acboot.com

I made something very similar to that for a cabin tent I had. I used a section of an old tarp and contact cemented it to the rear. Designed it in such a way so that the attached flap would cover the hole (velcro on 3 sides) when not in use. It worked fantastic and only cost a few bucks to build.

I know I've wished I had brought a space heater, when it was 18 degrees outside.




like the man says...if you're swimming in the ocean and get bitten by a shark, its not a shark attack. You're in THEIR neighborhood. If you're at home in your shower, turn around and a shark is in there with you...THAT'S a shark attack
