Great sexy Fiona pic. Love when dogs sleep like that. Belly cooling isn’t a bad idea and I bet she’d love it.
My cat used to back up to fans and stand tail up Butt Conditioning I called it. Lol.
Yeah still as hot as Satans third testicle up here in the valley. I see it’s better near the beach. It not so much the heat of the day, although that ain’t no picnic, but the fact it doesn’t cool down at night. Usually it cools at night, and the humidity dumps.
I wish I had put in a maxxfan when I did the AC to pull the heat soak out of the van. What was I thinking? One more 14x14 hole and run the wires with the 4G cable going to the AC. Easy and breezy. But stupid is what stupid did. Keep it stealth, save real-estate for additional solar, or just tardo thinking. Probably the latter.
The AC eliminates the humidity in seconds. Small space with jet level sound and movement. I had it set on 20C auto. Ran it most of the night two nights ago and had 80% remaining battery Last night I set it to 21C and let it run all night so 1degree less cooling and it was 2degrees cooler ambient temp inside at 2300 hours. Woke up at 8, having slept through the night to a battery sitting at 88% charged. So she most certainly sips electrons and a little change has a pretty dramatic effect. The solar will recharge it with three hours of sun to spare. The issue and why ventilation vans are so important is what if I couldn’t put out solar. Beach camping, where beach camping is discouraged and you need to stealth…three to four days and I am flat.
Rule one for vanbuild. Design the interior around your fridge and it’s placement.
Rule two. Sort your ventilation out and have that locked down before getting fancy.
People reading this in the years to come will be well served.
