They can market like this once they are registered as a vendor.
You're right, the participation of vendors online is marketing and advertising. What remains unclear is your point.
We have a AC/DC 12volt mini split. Works pretty good and kept the roof clear.

Each Vendor is paying it's due to be allowed to post on the portal. Because of us, this forum is still free and not plastered with pop up adventising.

Which one do you have?
AC/DC 12 volt minisplit.
Not the best name tbh. Amazon was the vendor's primary marketplace. This is their website but I ordered mine off of Amazon. It has been unavailable for a while. AT uses them on their Aterras and maybe they have bought all of the supply, idk. I would contact the vendor directly. When I bought mine, they were super responsive.
If I were to do it again, I'd consider the Cruisin' Comfort. They are expensive but they have higher outputs. If you're running a 48 volt system, they support that option which is nice.
The AC/DC is rated at 6000BTU and it keeps the box cool during the summer but it has to work at it. The head unit is barely able to get the breeze to the front of the cabover. AFAIK, none of the Crusin' Comfort systems provide heat - not the end of the world, but I appreciate (and have used) our minisplit as a heat source. Our Planar stopped working on a trip in the winter so it was great to have a backup.
We initially had no plans for an inverter which is why I focused on a DC minisplit. If you're thinking about having a high enough capacity inverter in your build, a residential option might be worth considering. One aspect I wasn't a huge fan of for using residential units was packaging the exterior compression unit - both AC/DC and Cruisin' Comfort allows the compressor to be put in creative places.
Do you have a picture of your AC/DC setup?

I'm going to experiment with the ecoflow wave 2 in our new personal camper. It's fairly easy to integrade it with the Ecoflow 48V electrical system. Main heat source will be 2 Autoterm 2D. 2 x diesel heater for redundancy.
In my build thread here in this subforum.

Any thoughts on how good it will work with the non 48v systems in a popup camper?

On shorepowwer it will be great. On the eco flow battery alone it will maybe last for a day.

I think I need a bigger truck!
I have seen, heard and read some good things about these units... a bunch of YouTube channels I follow have these and have done reviews on them, all of which seem to be favorable. Ecoflow seems to be one of the better products out there for portable power and I have no doubt they put a lot of effort into engineering these.
I love their battery / solar and automatic generator solution for off grid homes and RV's.
That is what my plan will likely be as well. Purchase the shell and use as-is until i have a better idea of the available space and how i want to build it out. Are you aware of many people that have used their shells long-term like that? My idea would be to have the electrical system built out so I could install a furnace and power lights, fans, etc. but use it as is other than that. Until the itch to build it out fully gets too strong anyway...
