Weirdest A/C question...

[Longjohn119]

You still need a fresh air feed for the condensor, you have two seperate coils with two seperate intakes and two seperate exhausts .... you have to bring cool air into the condensor and keep it seperate from the exhaust or you'll ruin efficiency and run a high head .... On a window shaker the condenser air comes in the sides and the exhaust out the back and BOTH set outside ... the reason is works in a pickup is the condensor sits outside the cabin like it should .... also you are going to need fairly large holes to feed it, any restriction and it will act like a plugged condensor coil and again will run a high head

Hey suit yourself but no whining when it works like crap and you are stuck with large holes in the floor of your truck

good point...

I will just make the enclsoure so that it houses the rear of the A/C unit only. Therefore allowing it to use the air in the vehicle for intake.

Maybe I should consider one of those roof-top RV units. I can pick those up pretty cheap.

Well it might look kinda funny/ugly but that would definitely work ... in fact it would probably frost your eyebrows ...lol

I think the smallest rooftop unit they make is something like 13.5 BTU's.

The window unit I have is 5K BTU's and it will make my master bedroom extremely cold.

I'd rather have colder than hotter.

I'd probably have to pull a generator on a trailer behind the truck just to power it. Thats not out of the question as I have the hitch, and the generator.

I had the same problem with mine, and then the compressor quite all together. See, your problem is that while you let everything out, it won't take anything in even if it's running because you haven't built up a vacume in the system, so it doesn't really want to suck anything in. We just retrofited mine (I live in Wisconsin) after goin to another state to get the stuff and mine runs beautifully.
