I saw a YouTube video of one mounted to a tow-behind trailer and most of the comments were all about how quiet it was and how well it worked. I feel that most likely they were pulling power from a land connection. I am trying to find the most practical way to provide A/C for sleeping at times when there is no 120 V power outlet at hand. While driving, the front and rear A/C work great for the the whole van. I was just thinking that a small one-room split-system might be a logical way to handle the problem if i can find one with a small enough "starting-amp" load. The only problem then would be noise from full time running of the generator.
This project of mine started out as a 2005 Savana 1500 High-top and we are hoping to end up with a "Miniature RV" or close to it . For the trip we are planning, it will need some kind of A/C for sleeping and we hope to be 'boondocking' at least some of the time. Having a noisy generator running all night to provide power to keep the A/C working doesn't sound like much fun. Especially when the generator may only be needed for that one purpose.
Heating of all types; cooking, water and interior air in cold climates is easy enough to handle with Propane. Only Cooling presents a real problem. Appreciate any insights from anyone here who has already tackled this issue.
Along that same subject, I would appreciate any recommendations on a small power efficient refrigerator that can work from a power inverter. Or maybe even better run on 12V to start with
