Update on 12 volt air conditioner. Unfortunately this did not turn out well, but I'll share so others might be aware.
For some time I have been looking at 12 volt back pack split system AC's. I narrowed it down to this company which has been in business
over ten years.

Price for the unit was $980 and air freight door to door delivery another $420. Had I chosen less expensive shipping by sea, it would have taken
at least a month and involved a third party to arrange shipping from the port to me. This probably would cost close to the air option.
I was able to go through Alibaba for the transaction. Hopefully the trade assurance program really works, yeah.....
Here is how it went; Received a single tracking number when the unit shipped, however the unit was shipped to Doral FL not S.C. I brought this to the reps
attention and was told that FEDEX sent it to the wrong address. Later I find out this is another customer and mistakenly shipped to. OK, mistakes happen so I rolled
with it. After 10 days I get 3 tracking numbers, not one, for the shipment. Something hoakie is going on. Just not comfortable with this.
Here is what I got;
Cracked cover with rust and corrosion. This is suppose to be a new unit. It appears to be used.
