    Shut the fan on your ceiling when using a/c. You want to trap the cold air in the van. No windows open at all. This will help! Good job on the install,.your van looks really nice.

    Your definitely gonna have to do an update on this cause I was researching for ac for a van but you got to have a better way to power it cause I'm only using a power station too and from what I saw it only last a couple hours before it's drained

  • @allenhaynes2662

    If you get an insulated exhaust hose , it will cool your van down faster and to a lower temperature . There is a lot of heat that radiates from that hose, which makes the ac work harder

    I have one of those, they work great!! Cool off my bedroom perfectly. Also make sure you have a bucket or something to catch water from that skinny hose, sometimes water will drain. I learned the hard way.

    Very "cool"! Do yourself a favor and buy a hepa hvac filter at home depot etc and pre-filter the air intake. Your unit will stay much cleaner, more efficient and last longer. The filters that come with those allow too many dust particles in over time. Happy trails:)

    I think you need to make some installation window covers that fit in your windows the front windows, the back windows but also when you got your AC running, you don’t want your max fan open because it’s letting out the AC. You have been ventilation going outside so through the hose just a little useful in order for your AC to work the most effective

    You go girlfriend‼️I'm happy for you. Heat's no joke. I'm in AZ the desert area. It was 110° today & it's been like this for wks. I hope you have a solar panel on top of your vehicle because it's going to take quite a bit of energy to run your AC. Enjoy it‼️😀

    how do you sleep there when its so loud running....you should get your self a Nomadic Cooling - X2 Air Conditioner - 12-Volt and its goes above your head with less noise ....and easier on the batteries ., might be little pricey but worth long run :)

    If you learn how to use the energy, you can use a Breeze 2 and run it off a power bank for 24 hours. I tried it, and it works.

  • @lionandthelamb9379

    I'm going to get one of these for my van. I saw that another vanlifer replaced the white exhaust hose it came with to a silver insulated one from home depot. He showed it cooled better. He showed that the white vent hose temp was 110 degrees that was radiating back in the van. The other vent was much cooler. How much power consumption and what size battery are you using?

  • @exoticbeautyblisssimpson8430

    I keep thinking about getting one of these but I just don't know if I could figure it out and I would def need a bigger battery. I also wonder how it would work with my windows? Also, what kind of battery do I need? And how much power did it use from the battery overnight? I don't want any cracks letting bugs or any other critters in while sleeping or just hanging out during the day...got any advice about it? Please share if you do...thanks!

    • @SullyVanLife
      @SullyVanLife 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Adding my two cents. I have a Vtoman 1800 to run a 5,000 btu portable A/C. For me, it’s runs about 2 and change hours. It pulls between 800-900 watts. So, without backups, recharging is always the issue. 🚐😊

    Sorry but unless she has better setup it's not practical. That AC unit is using ~500w give or take. That Bluetti AC70 only has a 864wh capacity. The power station will be out of juice in 1.5 hrs.
