That’s what I was trying to say. Now I can’t say how long that thing will take to cool down the camper exactly, but after having multiple homes with swamp coolers, it’s nothing like an air conditioner.
Appropriately sized on a house takes hours to cool it down a significant amount. And taking advantage of early morning cooling effect helps through the day.
You’re not going to walk in to the camper late afternoon when it’s been baking in the sun all day and flip on the swamp cooler and get any immediate effect. You’d want to turn it on well ahead of time to get any benefit out of it in the heat of the day.
If you’re wanting immediate evaporative cooling, a personal swamp cooler works. (Wet towel over bare skin, stand in front of the fan. Lol)
But yeah if you want to theoretically turn it on in the afternoon to have it conditioned for bedtime I could envision that working. But I can only speak from experience with residential systems.
They work great, in Albuquerque. Not so much in Phoenix.
