"Here - Hold my Beer"
So Will seems to be using the same AC that we use for the workers trailers that we support. Our Toshiba 6000 BTUs are all running off of solar and does a great job augmenting some of the older trialers A/Cs that just doens't do what they use to do ... I had one of the guys send some photo's which I will attach that shows how we do it ... Since these are NOT our trialers (they lease them) NOTHING can be CUT on the trailer .... so we figured this way out pretty quickly and it works well ...
In fan mode only - no compressor - it pulls about 60W ... in full on - compressor chugging - it pulls about 560 ... And i do have to admit that these little Toshibas that we get at Home Depot for 219 work great ..... He is using (4) 255W panels and 300aH LiFePO4 batteries .... I don't know his battery statuses throughout the day and night so can't guess at that ... I do know that he said that he normally does not run the AC at night because the desert gets cooler -- but at 0800 in the morning to about 2200hrs he has it set on full cold ...
He says that when it comes time to move the trailer he just pushes the AC onto the floor - puts the insulation on the bunk bed -- and closes the door ... We have ALLOT of these little Toshibas 6000 working and so far no issues ....
The insulation is just cut out to fit the door ...
While we were trying to figure out how to mount the thing in the door one of the guys just bought over a cinder block and a 1 x 6 and it fit perfectly to hold the A/C up
