Title: AC in spare compartment
Post by: Tom Y on June 21, 2015, 06:50:57 PM
After reading the spare or not to spare comments, I would like to know what kind of ac you guys are running in there? I am not happy with my roof air in the front and looking for ideas. Any pictures? Thanks Tom

I had Cruisair in the spare tire compartment on the Eagle

Any other options? Cruisair fans? Mini split fans?

Mini splits are going to be a lot cheaper I know that for sure ,where the mini splits will fit in the area I have no idea

I don't have any photos and I doubt anyone is going to pull the front bumper to take one unless he is a real nice guy

I knew of a fellow who did away with his spare and used the area behind the bumper for a/c.  Used to work for Luke at US Coach. Jim something.
     As I recall he used the largest Sears window unit that would fit down there and that would run off 110-120 v.a.c.  He ran it solely off his bus alternator via his 4024 inverter running down the road.
     He may or may not have hung a temporary shower curtain/sheet etc. a few feet behind the drivers area to confine the cool air, which we all know tends to roll rearward when underway, due to several factors.
     I also seem to recall that his running two ducts up into the front for driver and copilot was a chore, but doable.
YMMV.
Hope that helps!
