We have an aircon in our tent powered by solar! PART 2 The inside and outside unit installations.

How long does this battery system run the aircon after the sun has gone?

600 million years.

Hi there. We usually set the AC to 24 degrees C. With all the flaps closed, it cools the interior very quickly. Once it has reached 24 degrees, it uses very little power to maintain the temperature - it only uses 1,5 amps to run the inside unit. We run the AC all night long and the 200ah battery is usually on about 60% in the morning.

so how does the head unit work if the pipes are not connected?

[@misadventures-sa]

Hi, the pipes and wires run from the outside unit, down the right side (inside the camper on the side of the bed) to the hinge on the poptop. There they cross over to the left side and run along the roof section to the inside unit. We use copper pipes in insulation and trunking to keep it neat.

Very nice practical rig. Did you build the camper yourself as a DIY project?

[@misadventures-sa]

Hi, the camper was a custom build by Alu-cab in 2006. We purchased it from the original owners in 2014 and have added a lot to it since then.
