How do you stay cool in a rooftop tent during summer camping?

I’ve been overlanding with a rooftop tent mounted on my Jeep, exploring different places and regions. As summer kicks in, I’m looking for ways to stay comfortable while sleeping inside the tent.

I’ve seen some people using portable AC units, but they seem to draw a lot of power. Even with a big battery, it’s hard to run them all night — especially if you’re also using it for cooking and other gear. For multi-day trips, it just doesn’t feel realistic.

So I’m really curious — how do you stay cool at night? Any clever setups or small tricks that actually work? Would love to hear what’s been working for folks out in the field!

Thanks in advance!
