Thread Starter |  air conditioning for mobile rig
Ok, just got the box truck, need to add air conditioning. What are the pros and cons of rooftop RV style AC units versus window mount homestyle AC units? I've got to cool a box 8'x12'x7'. I plan on insulating with sandwichs made from 2" celatex, 1/4" luan and rough cotton fabric. Ideas? Thanx Chris

Click on this > Split Air System This system is also known as a ductless system... No duct tape needed for this project.

Splits are great ... very quiet and can be placed in strategic locations. Get a Dual Zone even for a small truck. Not cheap but cheaper than a pro HVAC system ... highly recommended

hi Steve, Are the connectors ridgid or flexible? Is it possible to have one compressor serve two areas? Can the user (with military type hydraulic leakproof hoses - if such exists) swap the connector between two room units in the field?
