More on the 12 VOLT Air Con unit.
It was a topic on conversation earlier on in this thread that we promised to follow up on.

Condenser lives under the truck. Bash plate is not for show.

Couple of bolts ( dome heads that are less likely to get hung up on rocks and stumps) to drop cover down for inspection and service.

This is how we do Air con systems, it is a fair amount of work to work to get these systems the way want them.
Off the shelf systems just have not impressed us for off road use.

Pump inside a compartment. By separating the units the system is much more efficient for noise and power consumption in our application.
Vulnerable parts are in safe place, serviceable components ( for recharging) are easy to get at. Artic have a well earned reputation in heavy earthmoving equipment that lives in a similar environment.
They supply the bits we want and we build from there.

There is no generators with any product we produce. We match consumption with power storage / generation.
EXD are only available in Lithium systems, the storage capacity of that battery is more than enough to run the Air con unit and the rest of the systems.
The webasto water/air heater is way over specification for this space, we like that.
The occupants of these trucks are comfortable in all seasons, as they should be.

It takes a few moments to access any major component in a EXD, typically without tools.
