    Air conditioning without a generator

    An air conditioner is a heat pump. It takes heat from the interior and pumps it to the exterior. Reverse the process, which some units can, and you take exterior heat, even in cooler temps, and move it inside. "Talk is cheap. Whiskey costs money."

    DIY A/C when camped (ice box air comditioner)?

    Don't forget about how much heat the engine, rad, and exhaust add to the steel body of the van when you run it to cool down the interior before bed. If you do go this route at least leave the hood open. "Talk is cheap. Whiskey costs money."

    Looking to lift, need advice!

    I own 7 Dodge vans including a 4x4. Your options suggested so far are accurate. Few aftermarket choices exist for these rigs. That's why you got it at such a good price. The only one I can think of is to replace the lower control arms with the pickup truck version. Lots of pickup guys swap...

    TJ Magnum Swap Question

    The glowing exhaust means the PCM is dumping fuel into the engine thinking it is running lean. I'd get another O2 sensor and start over. My Magnum swap had lots of these little annoyances. Relays too. Grrr. "Talk is cheap. Whiskey costs money."

    Finally a real 12v air conditioner? - Indel Sleeping Well Cube

    The DCAirco, their smallest unit needs 60+ amps at 12 V to provide 9000 Btu of cooling. I doubt any unit can move heat out with consumption at a rate that vehicle mounted solar can keep up with. Want it. Just can't see the physics of it. "Talk is cheap. Whiskey costs money."

    Diesel power

    Where did you get the idea that diesel would be hard to get in the north? What do you think fuels the trucks that haul materials up there? Ice? And yes propane can be carried around in a bucket at -40° so gelling is an issue. "Talk is cheap. Whiskey costs money."
