I am just speculating here, but imagine other factors that would affect comfort in the tent when it's in direct sunlight are:
- how well the tent material blocks radiant heat from the sun

Sealing flat vents and the EB fan to the sides of a trash can sounds really hard and prone to failure on the playa. https://www.instructables.com/id/Portable-...
