I watched a women who lives in a pick up truck with a camper ontop and she just bought a 12 volt ac. So she ran a test to see how fast her camper would cool and how much battery life. She has like 3 lithium batteries. She did this test in the Mojave desert lol. So camper 92 degrees, she set thermostat at 74 and speed turbo. Battery 100%. In 1 hour her camper was 74 and her battery and 94%. She ran the ac that afternoon and through the night. In the morning her battery was 66%. So i think it might be the same in a van. Her camper well insulated, black out curtains, reflective board. This was very encouraging because im not going with out ac.

When I recoated my rv roof with elastomeric media, the supplier strongly suggested to put wood strips about 3/4" high around the hole that the AC sits on. We coated that wood with the elastomeric media to make it water proof and the foam gasket sits on top with the AC on top of that.<br>With this mod, even if the foam gasket blows out, water will NEVER leak inside the coach.

I’ve had very good luck with the country mod I installed on my 40 foot diesel pusher I’m in South Florida 500 amp hrs power of battery 400 watts of solar. When running down the road I can run the 12 V AC instead of running my generator with the 12 V and the dash AC keeps it fairly comfortable unless it’s really hot out when Boondocking I turn on the generator about seven or 8 o’clock at night run it for 2 to 3 hours Pre-cool the coach with the big basement ACs and I’m able to run my country mod and keep it 70° in the coach all night and only go through 50% of my battery running my inverter to run phone chargers and the residential refrigerator I’m pretty happy.

I'm having a Countrymod installed as we speak. And I upgraded my AGM's to two 300Ah Renogy Minis. I have a 19 foot Winnebago Solis P. It's a flat top so no poptop, meaning that there's room for both a fan and an AC. And it had the cheap factory manual Coleman Mach that I hated because there was no Bluetooth and it was hard to reach - even on a stepstool reaching across the Murphy bed to the ceiling was tough for a shortie. I was sick of it. And being able to run the A/C off batteries will also enable us to leave the pup in the car on a hot day and let her stay cool if we need to go into a restaurant or someplace that she's not allowed. Things like that - yes I put in an expensive system for my dog! But there are so many other uses. This will allow us to be more comfortable in a campground without hookups. <br>So I appreciate both of your videos. We decided on the CountryMod over the OutEquip because of the routing of the wires. That was the big selling point. Edge Vanworks, the premier Promaster outfitter in the SF East Bay Area, recommended the CountryMod as a simpler installation for Promasters. So that's what we're doing right now. And thank you for all the info in both of your videos.

Wiring up the fan to run only with the compressor is easy and has 2 common ways to accomplish. Direct tap, connect the fan + -directly to the compressor + - , or the more professional way, relay triggered. Interrupt the fan + with a relay wired to the compressor + - as the trigger.

Now you tell me. You already got me to buy the Outequip 12v ac for my van! The one I got, while the instructions were definitely lacking, it does give directions for routing the main power cable through the inside of the until without having to make another hole. It was easy. Thanks for what you do, you've been a tremendous help.
