Nick g1,
With the proliferation of lithium batteries, the use of house type solar panels & recent updates to inverter aircons, solar powered aircon is a reality!
Of course, the size of one’s system dictates the length of time the aircon can be run, but have read of some vans having sufficient capacity to cool the van during the hotter parts of the day. LG now make splits that can be adjusted for the amount of load needed.
Allan,
Heard a story from a friend a while back. A bloke was camped somewhere remote near Lake Eyre, and running his genny, positioned some distance from his van. At one stage, early in the night, the power went off momentarily, then came back on with an accompanying cough & fart from the genny. Later in the night, when he went to shut the genny off, he found someone had done a swap, leaving him a rather tired example.
Whether it’s fair dinkum or not, I know a few souls who would attempt something like this!
