Subject:      "Swamp Cooler" questions
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Listees: I recently saw a "swamp cooler" or de-humidifier device mounted on top of a Westy's roof in place of the vent hatch. It was so heavy I could not lift the top more than a few inches. I only saw 5 buttons for controls; 2 for fan

speed and 3 for low to high humidity. I am not familiar with these devices and was wondering how they compare to an air conditioner, especially in regards to what type of climates/temperatures are best suited to each?

Someone once told me they can make the air feel "cooler", but I don't understand how, other than a "dry" heat is better than a "wet" one. Also, would this monster be capable of "conditioning" the air in a westy at rest on battery or only on shore power, and is it a possible option to a real air

conditioner only while driving, if at all? Please respond privately, as I am temporarily off list. Thanks!

Cary
