I thought I saw some pictures and words somewhere with this being used. I will look around for it. May not have been in TNTTT. This will determine if I am crazy or not.

Was looking to see if someone had done it.....and has some longer term results ?
Because all these guys only talk about how it won't work because the travel movement causes the copper pipes to get hard - break and or leak.....around the compressor ? sort of like the foam sprayed into trailer walls - MYTH of - not working 500 times, however its not based on real experience.
The you tube guy video has his kids screaming in the video non stop & no on the road usage results... he is also using a cheapo $399 unit with no heating & NO INVERTER !! posted June 2013 - no follow up however ?

Did you check the one forum, page three, I listed above your post. That same guy commented on his there.

Yea - he does not say to much in the comments....BUT he did say he drives with it on ? since it only works on shore power per him - not sure where he gets the power from while driving ?

I'm still a little confused, I don't get it at all ?
You all think nothing & will drop $900 on a new roof AC with 13,000 btu - SEER 10 maybe, cooling only , sucking 1,300 watts & needing a big LOUD BELCHING - 4k genset to crank it up sucking mega gas You can't even sleep running the genset unless your deaf ?
Throw in a few extra bucks more to get a mini - SEER 20 for heating & cooling Uses 50% less power, gen set is 50% smaller, use 50% gas or diesel , super silent running mini I don't see the downside to the mini split ?
OverTheTopCargoTrailer wrote: What is the calculated power usage ?
How can you calculate theoretical power use w/o knowing the heat gain/loss through the walls/roof/floor/windows, or the actual run time ? The assumpyion being that the split mini will not run constantly once the interior has cooled,
The split mini will use less power than a conventional A/C because it is more efficient. If you have some real life data for a conventional system, then it should be relatively easy to compare SEER numbers to come up with an approximation that should be good enough for guesstimating.
