Last weekend, NeilC and I were coming back from a local pick-a-part and Fresno was and is still freaking HOT!! Anyway, we were talking about installing an external A/C unit to the top of an XJ. Anyone know if these are 12V DC?

I can only think how cold I would be in the middle of the summer, :shiver: , also this would free up the OEM AC for an OBA, .

cool idea -

never thought of it before but it sounds like a good idea, I just posted questions in the oem forum about swapping my 90 factory ac out for a late model but i bet this would be easyier/better/cheaper! guess you could get a small unit from an RV place or old rv, Hey if you end up doing it please let us know how it turns out!

I know the A/C unit on my parent's Coachman is 110V. Either the generator needs to be running or it need to be plugged in. Maybe look into some marine options, however I think most of those are shore power / generator only units also.

power inverter

I was thinking of installing a power inverter anyway for camping and such ( blender for margerita's, yeah i like roughing it ) if you got one with the right capacity i dont c y it wouldnt work - the hard part may be finding a AC unit small enough to b practical, frost on the inside of your windows in august would not b good.

Funny. You'll need an awfully long extension cord or a gasoline or LP powered generator mounted in the rear. The A/C units are pretty aero-dynamic too. Sweeeeet... it'd be winter in July!
