I doubt you would find that 2000 BTU's would cool a
Vanagon Camper in some of the southern states without
adding some type of insulation to the pop-top canvas.
My 5000 BTU unit makes the interior sleepable by
pulling a lot of humidity out of the air, but doesn't
make the interior 'cold' by any stretch of the imagination.
