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.

I see your point, but most of those big motorhomes have 2 or 3 AC units, while the tent probably only has a little single unit. So all in all the motorhome probably uses a whole lot more electricity for its AC than the tent.
