I am about to do the third set of splices of 16 wires each with one cable of 5 wires 26 gage or worse. So I followed this suggestion, not thinking about how many wires were inside the cables. But he moved the power part to the inside of the van but said if he had it to do over, he might leave it in the condenser case as manufactured on the outside. Also, following Fat-Tire, Window A/C converted to Mini-Split Success, I am in the middle of doing this. I bought my van with the AC tap and have a dashboard undermount AC evaporator installed which claims 13000 BTU (if true would subtract from the amount of coolness coming from the front vents). In my climate in a regular house, it costs you extra money to open your windows at night because you have to pay for the AC getting rid of the moisture that you let in.

After all my Espar heater is only 2000 BTU. If one cools the van off at the end of the day by using the engine, then 2000 Btu would keep it cool at nighttime and would dehumidfy. One hole would have to be over the rear axle. So i'm staring at my floor right now wondering where to put two 4 inch holes and where to sit this. To dehumidfy you need an AC unit to run longer with lower output. If I need 30 minutes of cooling or less, I set my front/rear AC units appropriately (cooler temps in the back) and hit the remote start and take a nap in the back.įor someone like me that lives in humidity (East TN), this may make more sense than you would think. I don't have any real experience of using the AC at night in the van. It cools just enough wherever you point the output of the Zero Breeze to be comfortable but NOT the entire area during the daytime with continual heat loads. I bought the version with a portable battery and I also run some fans inside off my Goal Zero Yeti 1500.

My passenger van is not insulated but I do have ceramic tint on all windows and use reflectix shades to block more windows when I am stationary in direct sunlight. For me, it works well as a spot cooler when the temps hit the 90s.

I typically need cooling for about an hour or two, while waiting for my kids for pickup/drop off or during practices or rehearsals. I live in Houston, TX and use my van as a daily driver/road trip vehicle. I have had a ZERO BREEZE Mark 2 for the last year.
