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

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

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! I can hear red-green praising him right about now.

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

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.

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.

I got mine from ebay. 6500W for $900.

But the real question is: What refrigerant is that thing running?

No. But I don't like my neighbors, so I'm really hoping for some good hurricanes this year.
