Misting Systems?
Does anyone have any kind of experience with a misting system? We'd like to use it when it's hot but we don't want to be stuck in the camper with AC.

In the humid south you are cooled by the direct contact water. If you stand there you will be wet in a short time. Once you move from the misting area you will be hot and wet. The theory of the misting system is to cool you by the water evaporating. This is why they work best in a low humidity environment. You move into the misting area you get wet, as the water evaporates the body is cooled. The cooling continues as you leave the misting environment the cooling continues until you are dry.
Regardless of the theory, it will help to make you feel cooler, even in this Texas heat and humidity. We used a very larger water cooler in our warehouse/shop for a few years. We learned a few things.
1. using it in a closed up shop made it worse.
2. placing the water cooler/misting fan in the sun helped the evaporating process and worked very well to cool the air coming from the fans.
