DIY air cooler
Maybe this has been posted here before, but was new to me. Would be great for dry camping without AC power or tent camping. I may make one just to use in the garage in the summer!

- Yes a swamp cooler for RVers. In the SW we cool complete houses with swamp coolers.
- The ice is not practical- virtually all of the cooling this thing produces is due to evaporative cooling (it takes ~100 pounds of ice to equal a 13,500 btu a/c- 100 pounds per hour). Changing 1 pound of 32 degree ice to 32 degree water absorbs 144 btu's.
- Hi,
But where to get ice for free? Yes I know you can freeze water in the freezer compartment--but mine is tiny (and slow).
I'd love to see a good design for a swamp cooler.
