You can buy enough Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries to power an A/C unit for about $5k.

Throw together a control system for solar panels, plus the solar panels to feed the batteries for under $1k

And toss a canvas tent over it.

Looking at $7-10k total, for your entire comfy off grid tent living system. Potentially includes a decent size Yurt at that price.

Some system designs are available here: https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/ Kudos to Will Prowse for freely sharing his content.

...meanwhile, the most basic Jupe setup is $25k, not including tax: https://www.jupe.com/build

Yowza. As a formerly homeless person, I often wonder "Who has that kind of money?"
