Summer camping trips are where lifetime memories are made. Swimming at the lake, hiking in national parks and seeing wildlife in its natural habitat are wonderful experiences for individuals and families alike. Summer camping trips can also be hot, humid, muggy and sweaty.
If you are heading out in an RV with no air conditioning, hauling a camping trailer or car camping with little more than a tent and some stakes, the chances are high that you’ll be hot. Bring along a misting fan and have relief from the heat whenever you need it.
The top factor to consider when choosing a misting fan is whether you want to use it for individual use or everyone on the camping trip. There are economically-pleasing misting fans that work great for personal use and are easy to pack in your suitcase or travel bag, and there are heavy-duty misting fans that can suck the heat out of your entire campsite.
You may also consider battery usage, cooling space, additional features and ease of setup while researching your next misting fan.
