It's getting HOT and summer far from over. I'm looking for alternatives to a conventional HVAC system. I like the ideal of electronically run ac and heating system that will not rob power from the engine. I was wanting to know if anyone swapped HVAC system from an electric vehicle? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
Thanks in advance. |

I’ve used a B-Kool on several 914 Treks during the summer and it works quite well. I drove from Mammoth Lakes to Phoenix in June during record desert temps of 120F coming back from WCR a few years ago and it was not that bad. Tinted windows would have really helped. If I remember correctly I used 125lbs of ice. 20 lbs of ice lasts about an hour and I carried a second ice chest so I only had to buy ice every 2 hours. My only mod was to install a trailer-hitch style connector because a cigarette lighter plug can’t handle a 10 amp load for hours on end.
