The point of camping is to practice basic survival skills and experience a life without the usual creature comforts. For this reason, some who feel they’re not yet ready for a drastic shift in lifestyle invest in RVs. Heat is one factor that makes the activity less appealing. Therefore, we’ll gladly take the IOG-3 along to make it more bearable.
Since it is already fall as of this writing, the cooler temperatures are ideal for outdoor fun. However, it’s not the same for other regions. If a portable fan is not adequate, what you need is air conditioning on the go. OUTOHOME delivers a compact and sleek package designed for all-season use on demand.
So far, the only downside is the energy source. Nevertheless, it is compatible with vehicle-to-load technology on most EVs or high-capacity power stations. Of course, the IOG-3 likewise works with standard power outlets. Its system uses R290 — a non-toxic refrigerant with a global warming potential (GWP) rating of near-zero.
Much like a traditional air conditioner, you can set it to cool, heat, dehumidify, or fan. Other useful features include sleep mode and a timer for customizable comfort. Users can operate the unit via the top-mounted buttons or through the included remote control. At 30 lbs., the weight is manageable, but it would have been better if a carry handle were built in.
So far, these are minor gripes, which are quickly forgotten when the IOG-3 is in action. Its cooling capacity is 7,500 BTU, while heating capacity is listed at 6,800 BTU. OUTOHOME recommends it for tents, campers, or small indoor rooms. You can also use it to blast cool air in open spaces. It ships with a drain pipe, window baffle, exhaust ducts, and adapters.
