Does anyone have any experience with camping air conditioners like the Ecoflow, breeze zero or brass monkey?
The brass monkey retails for $1249 but is currently selling for $749 delivered:

What your use case? Caravan? Do you have 240v available or only 12v? Off grid use or just for a caravan park?
I got an Arlec 2.2kw one for my Caravan. I only have 240v available for the van, no 12V and no off grid camping thus far. It did a good job at Xmas and then configure the air outlet house differently and my sister used it over New Years in 40 degree heat and said it did the job.
Mainly tent and trailer and places where a larger unit is too heavy to carry. Caravan I'd go for an inbuilt unit or something like the Arlec.
Okay. 240v available? Or 12v only?
Both - preferably 12v (even 24v boosted) but 240v via inverter and powered camp sites…
Why don't you google the model number and check the review like this?

Assuming I haven't?
"breeze zero" odd name for a cooling device
.I have an entry level Brass Monkey and it is so much better than the similar priced POS that I bought from Anaconda before that.
Ecoflow have a good reputation. Haven't heard of the other one
Do you have the previous brass monkey version that looks like a cube?
Look up Jaycar $499. the dual zone fridge freezer with the plastic body/lid and removable divider
I have a zero breeze and looked up the specs for the ecoflow. Ecoflow has higher BTU so I am getting that next. Also zero breeze drips water
The fact that it includes zero details about its cooling capacity is a big red flag.
I suspect it would be very poor.
