Hi Mike,

I think it was on the other board somebody said they tried one of those Koolerair's and it was a toy at best. Didn't do anything and of course if the humidity is up it doesn't work at all.

Mike I have not used or heard of anyone using this,,one concern I had when I saw it was the additional humidity generated of the ice/water,,in tha south that is definately something I dont need,,,I guess I am a bit skeptical on if it would really work or not
one thing I thought about is to take one of the 12v coolers/heaters that are out there now and strip all of the cooler stuff away,,basically you now have all the arts for a small a/c or heater,,fabricate a housing for a heat/cold exchanger and put a fan in the gizmo,,,walaa tiny heatpump for a tiny trailer,,,,just dont know what kind of problems this would bring up but I can emagine it would be a head scratchermight need a thermostat ???
some of the ads for these coolers say it keeps food at 40 degrees,,heck if it would keep a tear at 70 then it would be the trick,,

Even out here where we enjoy a dry heat I think at best what you would end up with is a real fast way to melt your precious ice.
