Anyone ever try dry ice in them? That should help a lot with the humidity off the ice. Afterall, using ice would make it a cold humidifier.
   
  It might work if you do a conopy bed with heavy curtains. Mount it above the bed on a shelf behid the headboard. You can always find DC powered fans, and marine batteries. If you have any electrical ability (or a friend who does) you can hook up batteries ina sequence of 3's. I can't give you any idea how, but when i drove truck, my truck's fridge could run for 2 or 3 days with the engine off. RV's and camper trailers have similar setups. The solar idea is a great one. Could alos do a little dynamo on a battery charged with a windmill if you're really ambitious.
   
  They ain't cheap ideas, to be sure. I'm  more concerned with finding a silent a/c for Pennsic and other events than I am a cheap solution too loud to be used. I mean, I can get a propane fridge, and rig it over my bed so cold air falls on me, but if a bunch of unhappy campers stomp my camp flat to shut it up, I kinda defeated the purpose, yes?
