That last post I made was for reference of how much solar is needed per BTU here’s a guy that did it for a van. What a champ.

1. ICECO, Dometic, or Bouge RV 12v Fridge/Icechest 2. Pecron S1500F (HB)...or you could use the S1000F - $945 on Indiegogo until the 15th 3. Frankencooler - $150 DIY / $299 from Frankencooler.com 4. Thick curtain separating the "cab" from the back of my Odyssey - $50? 5. 200W-300W total in solar...

HOBOTECH finally reviewed the one I bought! SECOP (Danfoss) compressor included now! Can't wait until november! Until then I will use my Prius's climate control setting when traveling lol...

Get a 9,000 BTU mini split with 38 SEER or greater but you’ll need to run 220V at 60 hertz

https://diysolarforum.com/threads/smallest-mini-split.21586/ This thread is relevant! Loving my fridge! I think the mini split idea is the way to go rather than modifying my iceco, even though i do plan to try it out one day and asked ICECO to send me another lid for my fridge that i can cut...

Essentially super efficient DC solar units are the future of solar AC. I’ve been digging and have come up with some interesting stuff! So far in my research regardless the most efficient units are still these two: Carrier 9,000 BTU Blueridge 9000 BTU YGMI DC and AC/DC hybrids These ^ are...

Love this idea

https://diysolarforum.com/threads/solving-the-climate-control-crises.23322/post-282349 WIll this work on a modified ICECO guys? Really looking for the answer here because this could actually solve the portable climate control crises. IF the ice doesnt melt. I imagine a person could add salt so...

Yep you got it curious! I've seen those types of setups run for a few days if the box is big enough, and considering I'm getting the big one from ICECO i'm really excited to see if I can make the ice last for....ever.... I plan to run the 4" fan and convert the aluminum tubing down to 3" as it...

They're extended video after use says that it only works for one person and if you're standing in front of it. The ice in this cooler from this video lasts for 2 days. I think this is going to work guys, my dad says he has some aluminum pipe I can use to try this out when my ICECO arrives. I'm...

Oh true I guess I would have to dump that out every now and then. I think it's going to work though I'm shipping all this stuff to my dad's house I hope it works. The ducting that they used in this video isn't sealed though so I bet there must be a bit of water getting in there possibly but I'm...

Together we will solve the climate control crisis. Spam away! I’ve decided to go with the ICECO 60QT 3 in 1 since it’s on Indiegogo for $499. Gonna pack it to the brim with ice and run an aluminum pipe from my dads scrap metal for initial testing but it won’t arrive until October lol. O well...

I’ll have to check that out! Thanks!

Oh is that a thing? Lol I didn’t know that thanks for your input.

I think some combination of all 3 of the above units could actually push efficiency to the max. I would think a cooler with insulation and an efficient radiator/bilge pump combined with a thermostat and dehumidifier would do the trick. Someone think of a genius solution and we will have a...

Thanks this is the first time I saw this one. 520 Watts. Notable!!

VERY helpful man. Looking into this now. I don't know how stealth my Honda Odyssey will be after installing one of these though but this definitely seems to be the best window AC unit for vanlife as I've looked at many.

Apologize for the triple post but I finally got a chance to read through everything and I'm still excited to try my build when my ICECO 60QT 3 in 1 comes in November. I missed the $499 deal and had to pay $560 and I'm getting it a month later but I expect the price to jump to $800 when it comes...

Wow. I wondered how someone could hide this! I’m definitely going to do this on my other van build!

The guy in the video uses one that is 24 SEER the one I would get for a van rig is the Blueridge however, 38 SEER. https://www.alpinehomeair.com/product/air-conditioning-cooling/ductless-mini-splits/single-zone/blueridge/bmkh0938? I've convinced my Dad to order this one for his car shed I will...

Wow great contribution guys! Keep them coming! I'm going to simultaneously try to solve the issue for minivan people as well, like the Honda Odyssey/Toyota Sienna people. My end goal is to have a setup that can climate control the small space of a minivan but please keep the regular Promaster...

The latest plan is to modify the new 60QT ICECO which will be plugged into the 2024Wah Leoch running on 300 watts of solar from 3 100 watt HQST panels in parallel. I’ve settled on the Leoch for now since it’s LifeP04 and has 300 watts solar input. It also has two AC wall chargers that I can just...
