Say hello to cool comfort or warm interiors with the WAVE 2<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I was notified about the EcoFlow WAVE 2. Three things jumped out at me right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) There are lots of portable heaters out there, but a bonafide go-anywhere air conditioner? WTH!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) This thing can run on battery power <\/a>and also works with the large battery power packs<\/a> I already own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) It comes with intake and exhaust flexible ductwork so that it actually exhausts the heat in the summer and exhausts the cold air in the winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve never seen anything else do that, and I was dying to try it. It arrived in about a week, just in time for our first camping trip of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect for our conversion<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We’ve had a 6 x 12 utility trailer for years, and we decided this year to retrofit it for camping. Our first trip was scheduled for the opening day of the 2024 season at Hocking Hills State Park<\/a>. (Excellent for caves and waterfalls.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was concerned about the temperatures in Ohio in early April, because we were just as likely to get snow as we were to get a mild spring day. Turns out we got both in the course of three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WAVE 2 seemed like the perfect solution, so I went about fitting it into the trailer as soon as it arrived. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the included flexible ductwork, I started by creating an insulation panel of high-density foam and covered it with black Visqueen. Sliding open the window, I was able to install both ducts for intake and exhaust air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campground where we were camping had 110v power, so running it constantly would be no problem. I was amazed at how quiet this unit is. No problem sleeping with the unit running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
