The 5,000 cools a 7'6" X 8" bedroom at night. Ambient air is 86F with R/H approaching 85%
The rig is sitting in full on shade. With 3 hours of afternoon sun hitting the front 5' of the roof (the 3 Kyocera panels)
With the other two units on, and the sliding door to the driver compartment closed, the 2 units keep the rest of the rig at around 75% and 60% R/H. When it cools down after sunset, I switch any of the (3) fan speed to "low" which removes even more moisture from the air.
70F with 70% R/H is not comfortable. I experienced the school of hard knocks in Southeast Asia, where 70F and 95% humidity left me chilled and there was no easy way to cure things except to try and dry the air out. Going into the river was a no-brainer. There were yellow sea snakes and salt water crocs. There was no anti-venin for sea snake bites and a 100% mortality was guaranteed.
