Everyone who ever takes the top and doors off knows the air moves from the back to the front and out the front sides imagine if you had a couple mist nozzles mounted to the rear bar and it dropped that temp 15 degrees

Look up garden irrigation systems. I have used misters with 20 psi that give a great mist. They suposidly use 3/4 gallon per hour.
Dripworks is one company. Good luck.

So they mist not drip though?
That was my concern with using a drip system 3/4 per hour would be doable

Correct. Very fine mist. Their site has pics and a couple different options. There are several companies with very similar products.

Just type mist into their search or you may only see the drip versions.

That's the problem I've had in the past with any misting system. If it doesn't have good psi, it drips and doesn't get the real fine spray.

I just saw mister nozzles at Ace Hardware here in Southern Nevada. In the landscape irrigation department.

If you get some good ideas going, I'm willing to try. Being in TN, the shade helps a lot. You still have to squeegee off the humidity though.

Which is where misters won't really help, they'll just get you wetter. Evaporation is the key and that's what causes the drop in temps. Out here in Phoenix, misting systems do wonders until monsoon season when our humidity goes up. They still help a bit because it's SO damn hot, but you'll get wet more than cool.

Aeromist makes a small 150 psi pump that works on 110v, it's a good size too and only pulls 1 amp:

The 110 volt and the $230 price tag makes that out of my league as I would still need to get an inverter to run it
