Total Cool For The Campervan

I got a total cool box for the van to keep the dogs cool on our trips

I have one of these, bought at a show. Not overly impressed, works better, in small space with either ice cubes or block

This is called a "swamp cooler" or an "evaporative cooler" it works great if the area is extremely dry. If there is humidity it will only make things worse

[@cadcoke5]

This is more properly called a humidifier. It will do what any humidifier can do, and will cool dry air, while also humidifying it. Useful in a dry heat, but not in humid conditions. There is a reason why you keep seeing these in thrift stores... they aren't really very useful except in desert areas.

In the desert, the humidity is sucked away, perhaps even with a strong draught, but otherwise it becomes oppressively humid and worse than before. You can easily try it out: Point the fan at a wet cloth - at first it works great - but later you notice the humidity.

Если в нем нет фреона он бксполезен. Если он требует воды, это просто увлажнитель...😂

Thank you

I’d be interested in your opinion on this now you’ve had the chance to use it for a while. Is it worthwhile and/or worth the money? My collie gets far too hot in our campervan despite him having his own little fan and we could really do with something to keep him cool.

In the hottest of the summer it was nice to sit at the side of it, It’s was not as good at taking the temperature down of the total area of the van. We now have a big fan I got from paws trading. Which is very powerful. The combination of the 2 work well, with big foil type blankets over the van and even over the awning. My over all opinion is it’s a bit expensive and is not like an air conditioner that would cool the in side of the van. It works well to sit on a table at the side of you, blowing cold air at you. It works best when the van has not got too hot it rely need to be near a window where there is a breeze coming in so it can suck in cool air. So to sum up you would be better spending your money on something else. Like the ecoflow wave which is a lot of money but works well

Thanks. That’s pretty much what I expected. We really want something we can take with us when exploring overseas in the summer particularly to use overnight. I’ve read that dogs take weeks longer to acclimatise to variations in weather as opposed to humans and that certainly seems to be the case with our dog. Really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Happy adventures! Sxx
