I have NEVER watched an air-con unit installation with such interest in my life!! Really good video, thanks to ALL of you!! Thanks!!

The one copper line under the bed is contacting the high pressure line, it will rub and eventually leak causing failure. Just put something soft in between tape together and done.

Yaaay found this one, and I do prefer the look of this kit to getting a cheap portable AC unit. Now searching for more details. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️

Great instructional/demonstrational video! You are a great resource for all sailors/campers/tiny home communities!

Thank you for sharing the install process. The details that go into how you completed this was what really stood out. Amazing work!

Keeping the explanation simple so some don't have there eyes glaze over, good. If someone is competent in their wiring and plumbing work your ac/refrigeration videos would bring them up to a self installer. I just point them your way, the best I have seen. My finer points would drive most crazy.

Great team work and good luck with all.. safe travels

I think one thing that should be done is if copper line is touching the rubber line split a piece of rubber hose and zip tie it to the copper line. That way there won’t be any chafe and rub a hole in the line

So when you're fixing a jet engine, it's very important to check all your subassemblies for proper flow and vacuum/pressure seals. In my job we use an all in one system called a "vac cart". It's my job specifically to maintain the vac carts. I'm a little upset that I could have been using this sealant stuff the entire time instead of Teflon tape. Especially on all the flare fittings, as it makes a lot more sense in that specific application.

Absolute perfection for installation! Thanks for sharing .... Well-done, Clark!

very excited to see the results the build quality looks top notch.

Absolutely awesome . An excellent DIY project. Keep up the amazing projects. Lots to learn from you two.

I can't wait, my excitement keeps building!!!

My battery-powered AC unit just had its final hookup today. I'm ecstatic because it got done with a few months to spare of the oncoming Mexican heat. 5.1kWh battery and a 30.5 SEER a/c unit. Solar panels on the roof (of an RV) in the next few weeks.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Excellent step by step! Thank you! Happy Easter from Guam!

Great Video; I have signed up on the website. We want two, although, contrary to the form I filled out, after watching this video there may be advantages to do a component install rather than getting pre-charged units on a sled to have more flexibility as to where to locate the components. :)

great stuff!! im not a patreon, so i wont be getting the first batch, but im defo buying one!!

Hey Clark! We’re installing your dc/ac system on Rhiannon and I have some questions: What is “this stuff” that you’re putting on the flare fittings? Our system is 24v so do I need to use the power booster or can I just wire straight to my system? I’m assuming I will need to convert to 12v for the blower motor and the pump,or does the system step it down? I’m really impressed with this system ,especially how tiny the compressor is! Thanks for coming up with this for all of us and keep up the great work!

Great post Clark. You are a treasure. 😇🌞🌴⛵

Very thorough how to !

Great video with great ideas ... thank you!

This looks to be a game changer. Awesome

Thanks. Your Projects are Awesome !!!!

Great video, thanks Clark.

Single-flaring copper always makes me feel like I'm "doing it wrong" cuz I'm so used to double-flaring steel lol ; )

Looks great! I want one, er, three. Please think about making a 12-15,000BTU unit next. I'll buy a dozen.

My 2-5 air conditioner is the most efficient and reliable. Two hatches open and 5 knots boat speed

Cool 😎

Great job!

Hi Clark, great video as usual 😎 Perhaps you'll see Blue Dragon somewhere along the way. A Thomas Colvin Tamarack schooner

I am going to be installing A/c on my 30 freedom. Once you start looking into what's out there it's almost overwhelming. For me I want simplicity and the ability to maintain and service the unit myself. Are there service valves on the Condenser? If not what's your thoughts on installing them. My other thing is I would be happy having a cool sleeping room but the Captain wants a cool Salon as well so for me I may not be able to do this one. It looks great though. Seems like the coils are serviceable and the blower too. I am thinking of maybe going with two. 1 for day in the salon 1 for night in sleeping room. Ty

I didn't see if the low pressure line from the airhandler was insulated. It gets cold, and water will condenses, making things wet.

Did you make a video showing efficiency compared to other water cooled units? That would be great

Glad to confirm I live in a Mammoth and Sabre Tooth Tiger Free Zone, now to do something about those Rhino's. Bob. 🤔

A great video, thank you! Have you had any issues with condensation on the refrigerant return line? Many AC installations insulate this line to eliminate condensation dripping issues.

hi you should insulate the copper lines going to the air handler and all the other lines other wise are wasting cold freon and making the boat hotter and less cold ! your "expert advisor" should have told you DUH !

This is great

Nylog is good

Can you have multiple units for different area of the boat?

If you put the fitting in backwards, will attract tigers instead of repelling them?

I have seen similar units manufactured through China. Is this one of them? I'm looking for a small 12 volt A/C unit for tear drop and similar type trailers. However, how is this [your] unit's price of $2000 justified?

Have you calculated the cubic feet of the cabin you are cooling? I have a small cuddy cabin power boat, please don't judge, and my old AC is in need of replacement. My current 6000 BTU unit draws almost 1000 watts so I can really only use it when on shore power or when one of my engines is running. It's also all (Compressor, Fan and Water) 110\120 so I'm losing efficiency through the inverter too. I don't have a generator but was thinking of getting an air cooled inverter generator to plug into my shore power to run my AC but this might be a solution that would eliminate the need for a generator. My cuddy might be a little bigger than your aft cabin but not sure. I think the square footage might be more but the cubic feet less due to the very low headroom. I'm think the most important measure for cooling is cubic feet. Would you agree? I'm also thinking of upgrading my house battery to a 1 or 200 amp lithium or maybe even trying the new Dakota lithium starting batteries too.

what johnson pump do you use for the seawater circulation? It's not in the installation book.

Hi Clark, Great video! I have a strong feeling i'm going to be getting one of these units! Have you looked at Swagelok for fittings on your copper lines? They might add some price but would save from having to have the tooling for flaring on the copper lines, and they are super easy to use for those folks that may not be so inclined to do it themselves.

It’s been over a year, the “store” is still not up yet. I like the idea, but am starting to worry if it’s a real product.

How much does the whole thing cost?

Is there a template to cut holes if one wants to mount. the air handler behind a wall, or in a cabinet?

... I guess he could've used a tubing bender eh? lots of cheap options for that. 8^)

Will the plans be available or did you skip that idea?

Would the supplier send one unit "Down Under"?

Are the dimensions of the air handler listed somewhere? And is there a total cost yet? Thanks great video!

Total cost of kit and a link to get onto the list? TIA

Can air handler be mounted vertically?

do you still have these kits to sell?

anyone know what this costs?

And you are kidding yourself with the price for a toy.

Toy.
