Awwww .... I dunno OVM ..... mine seems to work pretty good on the inside .... besides what happens if I have it on the outside and it rains while I'm sleeping - or someone decides they would like a free window covering ? :p

It's just what happens when ya mess wit da union ....

Ahh good ..... doesn't get much better than that. As do I - any time I'm sitting and it's warm out, the unit goes on .... if I ever run out of battery capacity I'll just turn the truck on, charge the batts and use the trucks AC for awhile. Now that there appears to be a workable solution...

I have a MaxxFan: MaxxFan RV Ventilation The thing that I like about it is that you can leave it open and running when it's raining out and the rain won't come in. Now that it's been relocated towards the rear of the vehicle (since I installed the AC unit over the bunk), I only wish I had...

Jack ....... Jack ........... JACK !!!! (... can ya hear me ?)

Wow .... I was just there early Saturday morning after I dropped in East Liberty ..... thanks for the heads up.

Yeah Rob .... the thought that has repeatedly crossed my mind was: "If you increase the front's inflation pressure beyond the manufacturer's recommendation, how does that affect tire adhesion when cornering and in turns ?" I don't really know the answer .... but it seems like you might...

Leo, Yeah .... maybe ...... best to talk to Ray. Couple of things: What color is the truck/sleeper ? ... darker colors could mean more heat gain/load (.... ask Jack about his blue van :p) Assume you can curtain off the sleeper from the cab ? Do you plan to use the unit during the...

Jack, .... 22nd ... cute ..... :p That inverter is a small Cobra I bought at the J after I had been out just a week or so, just to charge up the laptop - I was really still in the process of deciding which inverter I was gonna go with as the main inverter. The one that blew up was an...

The pee test for a DOT physical does not check for drug and alcohol - it checks for 4 things: Specific Gravity Blood Protein Sugar (which could be evidence of diabetes)

Ok, so that's approximately 420 cu. ft. The area that I'm cooling in my Sprinter is roughly 8' long x 5.5' wide x 6' tall - or about 264 cu ft. Some of it is taken up by my bunk, refrig/freezer, microwave, and other crap (seats, desk, etc.) So it is considerably smaller. One factor that one...

One additional thing - (one of ?) the other line(s) of 12v DC AC units that Ray is handling currently are from DC Power Solutions - these are even more powerful than the DC Airco units. The DC Power Solutions TopCool unit (roof mount) provides up to 11K Btu's of cooling capacity: DC Power...

Greg, The compressors in the Mini-Cool are a pair of Danfoss units. A couple of other things: You asked about solar panels - I believe they (Espar of Michigan) are actually looking into and researching this currently. Leo, you asked about whether running the unit off of shore power...

Ya know ... you're probably right .... but: If I were in Safety, I'm fairly sure I'd want to know if someone were on a mind-altering drug. In fact, I'm not in Safety - I'm just a regular joe on the street - and I absolutely want to know (so I can walk the other direction) And if I were the...

Oh yeah ... you ain't kiddin there is (but perhaps not exactly in the way you are thinking ..... :D) Well, it's a glimpse of the race to bottom in terms of individual intelligence and common sense. It is what happens when one trusts so-called "authorities" - rather than relying on one's own...

Well, the first thing one has to be aware of with any psychiatric medication is that they are MIND-ALTERING drugs. They, in fact, alter the way the mind works (often in ways that aren't really understood - certainly by those taking them - and even by those that have created and/or study them) -...

Greg - you're welcome, of course. :D I do not, at this point. It has a part number of 0910870022. I tried Googling it but everything I came up with was MiniCool related - no OEM site or listing. They do use a Danfoss compressor in at least one of their units - the units are produced in...

Re: Sensible addition to a D unit ? Plus ya save on the maintenance, due to the reduction of hours of use of the APU. :D There's probably even an "automatic" solution out there someplace. And if not, it would be relatively easy to do manually, with a Marine A/B/A+B battery switch: Blue...

Sensible addition to a D unit ? In answer to whether it would be a sensible solution to a D unit, that probably again depends on a number of factors - including what your expectations are. But, in this day and age of high fuel costs, I would think that that either a Dirna MiniCool or a DC...

Re: Batteries You're too quick for me Leo :D Well, yes - it actually could: The Xantrex has a set of contacts to drive a relay to drive an (audible or visual) "alarm" - I'd think it would be relatively easy to wire it to drive sometype of switch or solenoid that would just shut off the power...
