Where would you place your 5000W inverter I’m gonna use to power roof AC, like the 13,500 BTU Dometic Penguin 2?
Haha. How would you power a 13,500 BTU roof air conditioner?Next to my 980aH battery bank.
With and only my generator, when I am not plugged in.Haha. How would you power a 13,500 BTU roof air conditioner?
They don't.So how do other people run their roof AC while they drive their van?
Generator or second alternator.What’s the common sense way of cooling the rear of then van while driving (for the 2 benches of passengers) if not for a rooftop ac?
That would need around 2KW, not 5!Haha. How would you power a 13,500 BTU roof air conditioner?
Solar is a joke on most vans with stuff on top. Enough to maintain what you are using normally with fridge and fans and stuff, nothing more (Yes there are outliers...before the three guys with 1400 watts of solar chime in)@grantwilson - What sort of AC run time do you get out of your 800aH bank when parked? Are you recharging with solar, or just the alternator?
When hauling passengers in my crew van a curtain behind the bench seat helps. Ceramic window coating on the windshield would help even more.What’s the common sense way of cooling the rear of then van while driving (for the 2 benches of passengers) if not for a rooftop ac?
