While its hot....

If you fancy aircon but want something to use when the engine isnt running, try this...

not cheap but cheaper than aftermarket engine-driven aircon..

heres a good idea............(you know how you get em...)


small fridge vans (escorst,etc) have 12v systems

if you could find one in a breakers and rob the bits.....


well, it sounds plausible!

ive been looking for something like this for my minibus as it has its own tropical temp in the summer,where does this bolt on to and it says it uses like 1-2 litres per hour so do you have to have a big water tank for it as well?

it uses a small water tank (approx 2/3 ltrs i think)

and you get a roof mounted bit too

check out motorhome aircon units too...

ring AS Taylors transport at barton under needwood (by the A38) or your local agent (dont know where your based)
