I don't see an A/C suffering the vibrations and shocks of a vehicle going off the pavement and lasting long-term. The external unit needs shock absorption. I have not seen anybody do this yet. That you take pride in it not moving relative to the vehicle body is odd, IMO. I would like somebody to make a sub-frame with springs on top and bottom so the unit "floats". We agree, if you are where A/C is required you are in the wrong location. East of western Texas into the Gulf Coast is a no-go 7 months a year for me (NTM the SE USA has always been unsavory).

Which 20a alternator charger did you use in your system? Love your setup!

Nice! Consumptions in different temperatures? Are your flexible lines still good, not leaking? I know those are made just for easy install, for one-two time bending, since they are corugateted stainless steel pipes inside. I did one to buy those flexible lines, but the reviews are not good. People say will eventually leaking. Thx!

As an contractor I have installed mini split unit for years. Very quiet and efficient well worth the money. Not a hard install but not a novice job. DIYers can mount all components but recommend a hvac person with final gas install with gauges. Very informative video not full of fluff and technical for average DIYers. Great job!

I have a Chevy Express 2500, regular height and length. I installed an Ameristar (Gree) 9K, 22SEER mini split HP. I took everything but the outdoor fan and coil out of HP cabinet and strapped these parts up to where my spare tire was. Top of hp cabinet up against my hitch square shaped crossmember. Drilled drain holes in fan blade hub for drainage. Extended four wires to outdoor fan motor. Installed everything else except Air Handler (Head) inside van in LH rear corner. Extended 1/4” liquid and 1/2” vapor refrigerant lines from compressor/reversing valve/EEV assembly down to outdoor coil. My insulation is 1” thick with sheet aluminum inside. I typically see 40A at 26.5V coming out of my 400aH 24V battery bank. That gives me about 9 hrs of running on a 90-95F day with 68-72 inside temp. I have 1600W of PV on roof.

Planning to use the same unit for my new-to-me 23’ bumper pull. Roof top unit wants 20A and is noisy, furnace is propane, noisy and in the way of my bunkhouse-to-office conversion. This will hide away and give both on a budget.

Thanks, that helped a lot. Do you think if the inside unit was not blowing right over your bet it would work as well?

Have you looked at the Treeligo backpack mini-split? Smaller size. Similar BTU. Available in 24V. Tho 24V prob requires upgrading battery subsystem. But it would be interesting to see if provides greater efficiency.

My 2019 Transit has windows in the rear doors. Do you see any way I could secure that compressor to the driver side rear door? I wouldn't do it unless I could still open that door. Great job on your install. Thanks very much!
@-chasingsunshine- Жыл бұрын
You could try and use compressor brackets like it did but mount it on the lower panel of the door, just would have to figure out how to make some backing inside of the door to make it nice and sturdy!
@MannyWC10 ай бұрын
The windows are easily removed (go to a windshield place)- then you could mount the bracket to whatever material you wanted and seal it to the window opening.

You need to buy the part for the bracket. You should be opening the unit weekly to clean the air filter and you will need to clean the evaporator and condenser about once every 6 months.

What a fantastic solution and flexible installation! I would love to cool my living room at home with this 110 volt unit. I have one of those portables now and it uses a lot of energy. It only gets hot a few days per year, but it’s a dry heat so it’s easier to cool off. Where is your condensate line and do you use that water around your van?
@-chasingsunshine- Жыл бұрын
It’s a great cooling solution! The condensate line runs along the rear pillar down out the floor and just drains on the ground. It wouldn’t be much do collect for use but that’s not a bad idea!
