BougeRV launches quieter PC35 PRO portable air conditioner for van life and camping

BougeRV has introduced the PC35 PRO, a 3,500-BTU portable air conditioner built for vans, RVs, tents and off-grid travel. The new model adds a quieter 50 dB operation and app control while keeping the brand’s compact, mobile cooling format.

Why it matters: - Portable cooling has become a practical need for van lifers, RV travelers, overlanders and campers who want comfort without installing a fixed air-conditioning system. - BougeRV is targeting that demand with a lighter, quieter unit that can also work in off-grid setups paired with portable solar power.

What happened: - BougeRV launched the PC35 PRO Portable Air Conditioner as an upgraded version of its original PC35. - The product is designed for mobile living spaces, including truck cabs, van sleeping areas, RV dinettes, two-person tents and small RV interiors. - The PC35 PRO is now available through BougeRV’s official website. - BougeRV is also selling the standard PC35 model and optional accessories, including replacement exhaust ducts and adapters.

The details: - The PC35 PRO delivers 3,500 BTU of inverter-powered cooling. - The unit weighs 22 lbs and includes an ergonomic handle for easier carrying. - The portable air conditioner has an IPX5 water-resistance rating. - BougeRV uses R290 refrigerant in the PC35 PRO. - The unit operates at 50 dB. - Users can control the air conditioner through the BougeRV App. - The app lets users adjust temperature, switch modes and set timers remotely. - The PC35 PRO and the standard PC35 both offer 5-in-1 functionality: cooling, dehumidifying, fan mode, high power mode and a 24-hour timer. - In strong cooling mode, the units can lower ambient temperature by about 18°F (10°C) within 15 minutes. - BougeRV says the cooling range is suitable for enclosed spaces of roughly 65 square feet. - The PC35 PRO and PC35 both require ventilation through a vent port, cracked window or AC-compatible sleeve. - BougeRV says any portable power station or inverter used with the unit should have a verified continuous output rating, not just a peak wattage figure. - Both models come with two years of technical support. - BougeRV’s website is here.

Between the lines: - The PRO model keeps the core cooling specs of the original PC35, but BougeRV is emphasizing durability and lower noise as the main upgrades. - The focus on app control, portability and solar compatibility points to customers who need cooling in places where conventional plug-in air conditioning is not available.

What's next: - BougeRV is positioning the PC35 PRO as part of a broader outdoor cooling lineup. - Buyers who want extended off-grid use will likely pair the unit with a portable solar setup and a power source with sufficient continuous output.

The bottom line: - BougeRV’s PC35 PRO is a compact portable AC built to make mobile and off-grid cooling quieter, easier to move and easier to manage.
