50 AMP Tents
Took a stroll around my loop in a state park campground and observed some strange behaviour. The loop is less than 30% full with a mix of tent sites, 30 AMP and a much smaller selection of 50 AMP sit...

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 ...........
The alternative is the site goes to a diesel pusher that will likely use 3 times the electricity and likely got 5mpg on the drive to the park.
It's not like RV's are super efficient to cool.
Although at least a big MH DOES have some sort of insulation AND it does have closable glass windows so it DOES attempt to contain much more A/C cooling than a tent..
Tents are not known for being all that air tight (one could even say barely water tight) and have zero insulation value.
I would give MH or hard sided trailers a big bump up in efficiency over air conditioning a tent.
Besides, if you don't like the heat and are planning to use a tent, perhaps you would reconsider tenting at that time until you have more moderate camping weather? I would if all I had was a tent and it was extremely hot.
