Blower is designed to be very quiet, takes about 20 minutes to set up, it's far easier than a conventional tent.The blower draws very little energy, it can be linked to a car for extended periods of time without any danger of draining the battery. The bubbles design keeps dirt and other contaminants out, suitable for all four seasons. The constant flow of air maintains a comfortable climate and no condensation forms. (if there are drastic temperature changes outside, it may happen.)Washing tips: soap and water is all we recommend you use...NO chemicals.
