I like to ride my family and dogs around in our 4 seat sxs. We ride by our self most of the time like you guys do, sometimes my parents come in there sxs. We dont have flashing lights or radios . I dont get why you need groups of 10-20 buggies with music that can be heard miles away. I appreciate that you dont share your loction of spots you find, part of the fun is exploring and finding new spots to camp swim and picnic. Now they are being shared and marked on apps like maprika, and areas are littered and beat down.

The issue is twofold, so far as I can figure it. The biggest is the insulation of the space. It doesn’t really matter how much cold air you’re pumping in it’s not able to hold that cold air in. The second may be the length of your hose. The longer your hose and the farther the distance it has to run from the unit to the space being cooled, the more the air in the hose loses its coldness as it travels along the hose, due to the hotter outside air temp. But in general, I like your idea of retrofitting a window unit that sits outside. We bought a ShiftPod camping tent a few years ago, which has dual ports for intake and exhaust hoses and had also intended to purchase a ClimateRite camping AC for it, but they’ve been out of production for years now. I really wish they would bring that design back.
@trove1312
@trove1312 18 күн бұрын
Yep that was a good design that would have worked well for this application. Our camper is spray foam insulated so it does hold the air pretty well other than doors being opened and closed. The biggest problem has been the power of the blower on the window unit, with inline booster fans it works pretty good though.

The biggest problem you have is removing the hot air inside the suv So it’s mixing with the little bit of cold air you are getting in making it basically room temperature. The ac you have isn’t that great meaning it’s not powerful enough to suck the hot air out the SUV and restricting the front of the ac your losing even more of the ability to suck the hot air out of the suv, you would need a bigger ac that has more power to suck the hot air out and push cold air into the SUV. Also the longer that pipe is coming into the suv with the cold air the hotter it will get especially if you use it during the day and for a good amount of time that pipe is going to get hot if the sun is hitting it and even if no sun ☀️ is hitting it the air will still get hotter the longer the pipe is Your best option but a portable ac that is made for this situation

Doing the math on the HEATED unit specs listed on the official website yields a power draw of less than 120 watts. The minimum rating of a standard 12v vehicle outlet (cigarette outlet) is typically rated from 120 watts to 240 watts. It appears that Geyser anticipated the low range and this unit should theoretically work with any vehicle 12v outlet without overloading the system. I wouldn't anticipate you having issues with your vehicle running the heater.

I’ve done this before with half the work, for most people. Drill a hole in your a/c on the top. Cover the outport with sheet metal to block it off. Then I covered the return with sheet metal as well with a 4” duct fitting for flex hose. Cheaper and works great. I’ve never noticed it hurting the ac to restrict the flow of the return to 4”. Also after securing the sheet metal down with self tappers I caulk all the edges. I’m watching your video because I’m trying to find a way to have the portable ac on a stealth van. I’m leaning towards just drilling holes through the floor like you’ve done and then some how disguising the A/c on a hitch luggage rack or something along with a hidden generator for when solar is unavailable. Good video!

Just FYI, I have seen a couple drag and drive half ton trucks,( and a Cadillac), that were well over 600hp, and the half ton drivetrain seems to hold up fine. The caddie was well above 1000hp, and still running stock front diff, cv axles, and rear end(with a billet yoke and big u joints) Towing on the other hand......a heavier duty rear axle definitely helps the load carrying capacity.

My OBS Silverado barely gets driven now as I daily the Suburban. I want to keep the Suburban on a small 3" lift and 285/75 tires and the Yukon on 37 all terrain tires for a retro K5 dedication build, I don't want a terrible ride quality tho and still would like to take it on long trips from time to time.

If you get a 6.2 get the non dod version. But you still can't go wrong with 6.0. The 6.0 is coming down in price as everyone wants the 6.2 engine. The LQ4 is a lower HP version of the LQ9 or the LY6 was the truck VortexMax. Finding a 6.0 from a full-size van is usually a good cheap option as they get overlooked.
