Ok I have only had my van for a year and not been to any hot climates in it yet, it was retro fitted with air-con at an astronomic price of £2500, added to that it also had an inverter fitted, this means in theory you can wild camp and if you want use the air-con whilst driving, that we have done and very effective it was but would I pay for such an instalment myself....No! In my experience the only real advantage using it whilst driving was rear passengers can keep cool so pointless if just travelling as a couple as many vans have integral air-con, if not they do have windows. As for the inverter, it is located under the bonnet and you must switch it off when not driving as it can drain the driving battery very quickly. Reading another thread a Dyson blown air fan would be my recommendation, but not much use if you don't have hook-up.
