Portable air con unit (1 Viewer)

[errpaul]

Is it possible to get a portable air con unit that is small enough to use in the van, with a low enough power requirement to use on ehu, but that is actually any good and not just an expensive fan that sounds like a generator!??

short answer is yes, probably ... but impractical for following reasons

* Floor space.. where will it sit.

* Exhaust vent requires a hole in the van.. could use an open window but would defeat the object.

* Domestic units have high start up current, would need to be on a 16A EHU, many sites abroad ( where it would be most useful) only have 6 or 10A supplies.

* Storage while traveling .. would require fixing securely or put in garage/locker

If you really really need air con I would advise to save up for a roof or under bench Dometic unit .. but they are around £1k + fitting.

Thank you

Thats a lota lota money

I had been told about ones that have a type of condenser so they don't need an exhaust??
I don't really know anything about them and have only seen the big domestic ones, which are far too big, about the size of a small tumble dryer!
