I live in Indonesia, a tropical country with an average daytime temperature of 36°C. I have a VW T2 that also uses AC. The compressor uses Denso with 2 belts, the condenser is below and the evaporator is located above the driver, so that the rear passengers also feel the cold wind. When used, the power is reduced, so I increased the engine capacity from 1600cc to 1800cc and used a double carburetor. I also replaced the alternator to 72 amps to overcome the lack of electricity when driving at night where music and head lamp are on, plus the condenser blower and evaporator blower.

would you be able to just bungee a panel down inlieu of the hinges? Just for a more temp solution or to not modify the rack?
@gottasplit57073 ай бұрын
I'm not sure I would trust bungees for anything but a temporary solution to get the panel to a camp site. Also not to sure about covering any of the solar cells with the bungee cord. I've heard that covering any part of a solar panel is not too good for it. Maybe you could add some sort of straps to the bottom of the panel that go to the original loops on the rack.

Did you make a kickstand to get the panel to stand up? 😊
@gottasplit57074 ай бұрын
My original intention was to add a kickstand or maybe one of those spring hatch stays, but I ended up just putting a foam stick under the panel to keep it up.

You must lube your Orings with refrigerant oil otherwise they will grab and damage the Oring and that will come back and bite in the long term, also the A/C drags heat out of the vehicle so regardless the whole vehicle will cool down the people in the back do not need cool air blowing on them to cool down, An ac or fridge or anything like that removes heat though the evaporator and the condenser they do not put cool air in as such if you understand what I mean, but great job guys in any case well done from down under A/c Tech of 30 years.

Ok, full update. Bought them from Bus Depot. Quick delivery. Good price. Super easy install. Little strange getting used to the convex mirror design. Kind of makes me a little dizzy as I back up. Also, I think you mentioned this and the stabilization needs work on this design. They rattle and vibrate pretty good. I haven’t even been on any rough roads yet. But it’s a solid upgrade from stock. I probably should have went truck style but for now I can see. Thanks again for your content!

Been a long time, but if you're talking about the little washer things that go through the vent window, you could take a bit of sand paper or an abrasive cloth to the sides of the washer to get it to fit. Just be careful to not take off too much material or it might leak.

@gottasplit5707 Жыл бұрын
unfortunately I don't have my instruction paperwork anymore. If I remember correctly the sending wire just goes to the negative side of the coil, the positive goes to a fuse on the fuse box just for power, the power for the light goes to a piggyback connector on any other gauge bulb, and the grounds all get connected to any ground screw. there might be a forum or somewhere online to get the original instructions though. any other aftermarket gauge instructions should also work.
