I've got a 5x10 dr300 basically got 8" vortex sucking from a can 66 then blowing threw my hoods and then out . I have a 6" vortex on outside of tent blowing sucked in air from outta tent into tent and I have 10000 btu ac unit inside venting it's hot air it creates into closet next to tent. Temps are 78 at best this is without lights on or propane bunrer running at all. Please advise what to do! It's like 90-115 degrees outside on avg because I live in the desert

That's a tough one mate! You will have to dial in your a/c to control the temps not only inside the tent but the temps of the fresh air going into the tent. Can you vent the hot air from the a/c to the outside? it will at least help the heat buildup inside your space. If you live in the desert, do you have a swamp cooler keeping the house cool? I am curious about your options..
Good luck

i have a a/c in the house. I think we are going to go ahead and set the a/c down to 77 on both upstairs and downstairs from now on.

We have decided to go ahead and cut a 8" hole in the ceiling of the closet and duct the hot air coming from the a/c unit to that hole as well as the air flow vented out of the tent from the 8" fan sucking air from the can filter thru the lights .. do you think this will help.. please help!!
