Maxxair Fan or A/C for Hot, Humid Teardrop Camping?

[Mr.Action]

Hello folks.
I’m neck deep in the process of building a teardrop and as I am working towards building the actual cabin, I’m starting to think about what I want to do about cabin comfort and the structure.
I’m curious as to how well a Maxxair fan does in summer humidity and hot temperatures to make sleeping in the cabin bearable.
The other option would be a 48v rooftop ac for rv’s (the newer kind that are about 6” high).
I want to know if anyone who lives in the southeastern U.S. has been comfortable with using The Maxxair or if they wished they had air conditioning.
I have 2 450w panels that I am considering using for the the AC that I would also set up like drawers to act as awnings over the doors.
But those and the AC unit would somewhat detract from the teardrop aesthetic, so there’s that, but I would like to be somewhat comfortable.
I would love to hear folks experiences with just a fan in humid conditions.
Thanks

I can't speak about dealing with your humidity since I live in the middle of Idaho. But... you can run AC from batteries, but you'll damn need an extra trailer to haul the amount of juice you'll need, and of course there's the challenge of recharging them.

A ceiling fan is a must, to me, along with two screened windows in the doors. It'll bring a nice breeze through the teardrop and at least remove the humidity from two bodies.

Good luck with your build, and keep the questions coming.

Tony

Having lived in hot and humid places courtesy of Uncle Sam, I would definitely prefer to have a/c, but have had success with fans. I have a Max Air in my trailer, but also take along an oscillating Venty rechargeable fan that makes things even better.
