PhantomBantam · 02-12-2008

I camped at Fort Wilderness in a camp spot with full hookups where most folks park thier $100K RV's. Our accomodations in the middle of the dog days of August was a circa 1966 Army Surplus 100% cotton canvas Command tent.

It is quite huge and is quite the spectacle to set up. We often draw out the retirees to watch the construction.

So, with a Clothes Dryer vent and a roll of duct tape I rigged a cool air pipe from a free standing window air conditioner (plugged into the Disney power supply on site) and let that puppy blow. Now it did make the tent look a bit puffy but you would wake up in the mornings covered in frost. My advice to those who wish not to freeze during a Florida Summer day in August...Get the smallest window unit you can find. Mine could cool a 1200 sq ft house.
