Hey guys I got my 4" plastic hose from harbor freight yesterday, only took 4 days
It does have a very strong chemical smell however ....
so I will need to air it out for a while The current set up is just temp to test the roof concept & to size the 5,000 Btu unit as this is on a 7 x 16' trailer,
I assumed it would be way the hell to small...but am really surprised how well it works with the blower wide open
I do plan to make a permeant platform to keep it up there during driving & summer months
(( it will look much better when finally done )) I will move the panels forward so there will be no overhang on the rearIts connected with a 3" metal hose and a 3" blower at 120 cfm
Here is the 4" deck plate that I'm using in the roof
The inside view of my exterior metal box and foam insulation
The blower is coming right above my queen size bed, this area can be closed off with a curtain to become even smaller,
I like it like a meat locker Here is the fan speed controller I ordered, it works great. at 50% speed it reads about 7.5 volts on the load side.
Here is my under floor fan that also makes the Magic work...except i have the 14" version
It is sold at lowes....
One more SECRET... I run the fan in the morning until CT temp is at 78 ....before I kick the ac on high
it really helps to keep temp down sometimes even till 1-2 pm - compared to other CT's
Here is my under floor fan that also makes the Magic work...this is the 14" version
it blows 2,000 cfm - has 3 speed and best of all only
uses 50 watts & is SUPPER QUIET !!Finally is the thermostat - proof it works great , exterior temp was 88 that day ....
I was hoping for 100
In all honesty i did turn on the ac when the interior CT temp was 78
Once the shade hits the trailer then the temp drops into the 68 range
The 26 deg is the temp inside my ARB cooler I still have another version to come & will post pics here when done, so you all can do more crazy stuff,
thanks again for all the help. P.S. THINKING to install 4 more solar panels on the drivers side for 1800 watts total,
hope the trailer won't tip over http://overthetopcargotrailer.blogspot.com/
