<html> <body> <font size=3>Scott tested it!<br><br> ------------------------<br><br> Hi Derek,<br><br> I am looking at doing something similar. The test that I did was with some of the standard roof AC units for campers and motor homes. My goal was to take a Westy with an interior temp of 110 and bring it to 75. Popping the top and having it in the sun easily brought the inside to 110. <br><br> I tested 7,100 BTU, 11,000 BTU, 13,500 BTU, and 15,000 BTU AC units. All of them were able to bring the temperature to below 75. I am planning on installing a 7,100 BTU unit. It will require 2.5kW generator.<br><br> Hope this helps.<br><br> Kind regards<br><br> Scot<br><br> </font><pre>-- </pre> <dl> <dd><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2>--------- Original Message --------- <dd>DATE:</b> Mon, 28 Jul 2003 19:13:41<br> <dd>From:</b> Derek Drew <derekdrew@RCN.COM><br> <dd>To:</b> vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM<br> <dd>Cc:</b> <br><br> </font> <dd><font size=3>Has anyone actually calculated or experienced how many BTUs are required to make a Westfalia 70 degrees inside via a 110 volt connection to an air conditioner at say, the average of 100 degrees in the shade or 85 degrees in the sun? This would be with the poptop up and some air leakage through the canvass.<br><br> <dd>I would like the option to bring along a 110 volt air conditioner for temporary installation in the luggage rack for use while camping, and if I could solve this soon it will save some hotel bills which add up fast. <br><br> <dd>There was some list discussion about tiny 110 volt units at Home Depot so now I have acquired an interest in a tiny 110 volt A/C unit but not sure how tiny is too tiny. I figured that the tiniest unit made would be good, but don't know where to get such a unit or who has looked into this.<br><br> <dd>Please report to us if you have conducted such research. <br><br> <dd>This is for use when ! t he motor is off. <br><br> <dd>_______________________________________________<br> <dd>Derek Drew <br> <dd>CEO & Co-Founder <br> <dd>ConsumerSearch, Inc.<br> <dd>New York, NY & Washington DC<br> <dd>derekdrew@rcn.com<br> <dd>202-966-7907 <br> <dd>(cell) 703-408-1532 <br><br> <dd><a href="http://www.consumersearch.com/%A0%A0" eudora="autourl">http://www.ConsumerSearch.com/ </a> <br> <dd>Time Magazine, June 19, 2003<br> <dd> "50 Best Websites"<br><br> <br><br> </dl>____________________________________________________________<br> Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
