It takes a BIG A/C unit for a large tent thus the need for 50A outlet! Please do not take this post seriously.

Ironically you joke about it, I HAVE seen folks tent camp AND use a window A/C unit through the door opening to "cool" their tent in 90+ temps in SC..

Talk about a huge waste of electricity..

I too have seen this, but think about it.... Huge waste of electricity ?? They are paying a 1 time fee for that, the cost to have the COLD AIR blow across you while sleeping - priceless....

And that cold air will be fealt, but just will not stay cold

I too used to be bothered when I saw this, but now I try to not sweat the small stuff ! :B

I don't sweat the "small stuff" like airconditioning a tent, but in reality it is the same thing as sitting on your open deck in full sun on a 90+ day and pointing a window A/C at you.

While you might think one has the "right" because "they "paid for a one time use of electric" it doesn't really mean that one MUST and feels obligated to use as much as they can with little or no regards to how wasteful the use is.

Reality in many folks eyes now days is really clouded by the "me" generation, what is in it for "me" and not worry about OTHERS and what effect it has on OTHERS.

Excessive usage of those campgrounds resources does affect others, campgrounds must pay for that usage and guess what happens, they pass that waste cost onto OTHERS next year by raising prices.. Then folks whine about the camping prices but they pay it and start the cycle over again and again.

They say history repeats, it does.

I like to use as little electricity as possible to give OTHERS a fair shot at a FAIR cost next year.
