Hey guys, thanks for having me! I wanted to get some advice on finding a ~500W portable AC unit. I was trying to avoid a window unit due to continuously having to remove & reinstall it. I am aware that portable AC's are notoriously inefficient at about 50% compared to the window units. It would fit inside the van so much better though and there are already 2 side vents in the rear cargo area I can 3D print an adapter for to connect the intake & exhaust tubings to.
Due to the size of the van, I can only fit (1) 60 cell panel on the roof. I can bring along a 2nd panel to bump my array. I am also preparing to order a 24v 100ah battery bank setup from Xuba or similar. I understand the bank is too small to power the AC overnight. I already have an MPPT EpEver 40a Tracer but will also need a 24v inverter.
The objective is to have a comfortable vehicle to return to when I am out racing dirtbikes here in Florida before returning back to "normal" on Monday. Thanks everyone!
