Yes. If having sense in the first place is a problem, it solves it.

WOW nice...:eek:

That must be like a 22,000+ btu window unit! It has a 240Volt cord going into that generator on the trunk!! :eek: Wow...then again, that setup would probably cost LESS than a complete repair for our car's A/C systems.... :rolleyes:

3,500 watt generator, about $399 new 22,000btu beast-of-a-window-ac unit, about $449, so around $800 for what the guy did, and I bet he got the stuff used. Wow, I bet its pretty nice in there with that thing on! :eek: I can hear red-green praising him right about now. :D ;)

I dont think that that is a 240 volt plug, it looks more like a regular heavy duty 3 pronged 120volt plug to me.:rolleyes:

small
 
i think thats a small 110v window ac... i knew a guy in nags head
who owned a bunch of theatres... he had a small ac like that in a closet
to keep his candy cool... and it would really cool it down.... I bet
it gets near freezing in that car.

Yeah I think your right, I just looked at the pic closer, I am used to the generators we sell at my work, they have the 240v outlets up on the side panel like that, and the 120's down lower. I bet that system still works though....even though it probably costs a lot to operate...those generators EAT gas when running under a heavy load like that, plus its on an old american battleship V8 sedan, sheesh.

outterbanks
 
since it was posted by hattersguy it was probably taken down in the outerbanks and it gets hot there.... but I bet you could pick ice sicles off your nose with that thing...

I betcha next time he is going to mount it on the other side, so he doesn't have that huge blind spot anymore.

redbaronph123 06-07-2006 10:17 PM

well.. at least that is an additional 1/4 hp at the very least to his car. :D

Actually in theory he's gaining about 5-6hp, A/C compressors really sap power off the engine. Plus if you add the 6-8 hp that generator probably has.... :D ;)

Red-Green is a god. Is that a Japanese newbie heart on the car??? I did not see any duct-tape, red-green may not be happy about that:rolleyes: .

Keith_otr 06-07-2006 10:38 PM

I wonder how a roof a/c unit, like those found on RVs, would work on top of a car.....

Oh, by the way, Nags Head, NC was named after my ex-mother-in-law. That's my "claim to fame"....:dancefool

The pic isn't loading anymore, is it just me?

Anyway considering how poor the AC systems are in MB's in general, this could be a solution.:D Nice cool AC, you can buy decent window sets all day long for $100.
