A lot of the big rigs are going to "no idle" air conditioning units. It's a separate system that just provides AC, so you don't have to run the engine. Awesome setup, but they cost about 3 grand and are a little overkill for my needs. But it got me thinking...
I have a 24v system and a total of 210ah of combined battery reserve. It's just begging for an inverter installation....
Thinking about getting one of these
The one I need would be about $250
I want to get rid of the bench seat anyway.....
Bout $50 for a pair of junkyard Blazer seats
They make these little compact portable AC units for apt's and office cubicles. Most of them pull about 7-8 amps. 31" tall and it would fit right between the front seats...
Looks like this
'Bout another $250
May look a little funny in white, but I can paint it OD green and tell people it's some fancy N-B-C contamination air filter that uncle Sam paid a half billion dollars to have developed and it was only installed on a couple top-secret experimental test vehicles
So I figure with wiring, for about $5-600 I could have a portable, and self-contained AC system for my truck with *no permanent modifications*. I could even take the AC unit out of the cab in and run it off the generator to go tent camping "Air Force style". Whatcha think?
