    Fantastic little portable airconditioner.

    We used the KickAss portable aircon for the first time on the weekend. We were camped in our Toyota high Ace campervan van in 31 degree heat. We sat the aircon between the seats and put the rear exhaust duct out through the passenger window. We had made a cover for the window out of core flute with a hole to accommodate the hot air exhaust duct. The aircon did everything asked of it and cooled the entire inside space of the van within a few minutes. We couldn’t be happier with the aircon.

    Perfect van AC

    We live rural Australia and this AC in our van has been life changing. Our 2year old now can sleep in the van on the hot days without us worrying about the temperature. Night time use is a breeze (pun intended) as we set it for 6 hours to conserve our 450ah battery. The tubes and exhaust extensions are extremely easy to adapt and use. We ran our exhaust out the roof vent and was able to rig it in a way to also stop bugs coming in.

    The convenience of being comfortable far outlays the cost. We spent many sleepless night in the NT without an AC, so take it from us, if you think you might need it then just get it.

Can I use the KickAss Portable Air Conditioner inside a tent when camping?
Yes, the KickAss Portable Air Conditioner can be used inside a tent, provided you position the rear exhaust duct through a tent vent or zippered opening to vent hot air outside. This setup maintains airflow and prevents heat buildup inside the tent.
