Once the technology upgrades, the a/c should be much more efficient. It would be wonderful to have an a/c and possibly a heating unit in a small compact “box”, to regulate temperatures in small campers, truck beds, etc., preferably powered on a portable/small power unit that can be recharged with solar during daylight, that can also have enough power to run such things “all night”. The addition recharging options (solar/ home or shore power) would be a breakthrough for us to have and enjoy! Happy camping 🏕️

@@BrianWatersOutdoors how many videos are you uploading weekly?

I have the EcoFlow wave air conditioner kit with the alternator kit and yes they aren’t cheap. I haven’t unboxed it yet but seen a guy with a truck using a camper shell set one up. I spent about $1280.00 after a pretty good discount. My wife passed away recently after buying it changing my life and plans.

I run the same ac unit off of my 120ah battery system I built with a 3000w pure sine inverter. I only run it on low at night and the compressor cycles on and off after it cools. About 7-8 hours. This summer I plan to add a couple more batteries to be able to run it all day. I use my dc to dc charger and 400w of solar to recharge. Not once last summer did I need shore power. Nice setup by the way! Love it. I've got mine set up in a ford van.

I’m plugged into shore power at camp on this episode, but I’ve used a small generator and even a large 12v battery with an inverter.

I like your idea of a window ac. But having to set up your tail gate like that seams cumbersome. If your going to use shore power anyway, why not just install a low profile camper roof top ac ontop of your truck bed cover? Then you won’t have to monkey with it? I am sorry for the stupid question. I’m sure someone else has asked it before. But with all these diffrent ways to try to stay cool, one would think that would be the most ideal way. I went threw a similar progression in searching for a ac solution for my suv. When camping out in it. I even went so far as to put 500 watts of solar on my roof to power it. I couldn’t do a roof mounted ac. But with that hard shell on your truck bed, I think you could.
