Ryobi One+ Ice Vhest with built in swamp cooler. Cannot wait to try this bad boy out this weekend in the 110* Havasu air. They say 11hrs with a full battery, we shall see!

So far in my living room & only 10lb bag of ice it's pretty legit. Would be great for camping to help prevent swamp ass in a tent. I will also use it for work [emoji1305]

Interesting, you're going to try and cool the air on your boat?

I can see how it would be nice while camping...we sometimes go truck bed camping and this would be awesome for that small enclosed space.

Definitely report back on battery life and effectiveness!

Mostly for my 4 month old when he's sleeping on the chair or my wife while breastfeeding!

I went with the cheaper option.. clips to the windshield or whatever. Keeps the 4 year old happy while napping

That's actually pretty neat... Soon do we see AC in wake boats?

I mean I don't see how hard it would be to do a swamp cooler option. Pull water in from the lake. Get rid of the heater and replace with a swamp cooler [emoji1591]

I hear that idea works in LOW humidity environments.

Ain't worth a dang in Texas, unless you are way out west.

Had one of these years ago. Had some effect, but marginal.

Kinda like throwing snowballs into an active volcano... Very efficient at making water from ice.

All you need to do is take the heater core out of the box put a bag of ice in there turn on your fan and you have a swamp cooler

Problem using lake water is it's so hot it will be melting the ice too fast.

True swamp coolers need cool water to work correctly

So when you gonna retrofit a car a/c system into the boat? I drive a convertible and even with the top down in 90+ degree heat, there are times when having that little bit of cool air blowing on you is badass.

convertible with the top down in 90+ degree heat

Half the convertibles in FL have the top down but the front windows up and either the heat or the A/C on. The other half never put the top down-- ever. Idiots.

I tried a thermoelectric cooler last year, and it sucked. Drew a ton of power, and didn't keep things cold, took forever to cool things.
