AIR CONDITIONING

[DaveH]

I wonder if anyone has fitted air conditioning, last year got so hot and I am concerned for my little dog.

I am a bit strapped for space and also the van is fitted with floats for flooding, (good job this year as it went  up). It's a bit difficult to put the outdoor part on the decking as that stays down so I was wondering if there was smaller type that could be fitted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Dave

Hi Dave,

This is also something we considered but pretty much wrote off due to price. Your main issue will be the fact the decking does not move but the 'van might. The high pressure hoses for air con do not have a lot of flex in them. In the end we went for a moblie unit and I made a plate for a window so I can attach the hose. Can be a tad noisy though. Even then we still never leave our dog in the van unattended just in case we lose power which does happen on a semi frequent occasion

I am sure someone posted on here about a air con system for 'vans but you'd have to do a search

Many thanks, I am looking at going down the portable route. i also never leave my dog unattended, she is like glue to me, I do do worry about excess heat at night. Last year I had a big bag of ice in front of a fan

We tried the fan solution with our furry mate but he, for some reason, doesn't like the fan blowing on him even though it's doing him good. This is also a dog that will go sunbathing on the hottest day of the year then come in the 'van baking hot and wondering why
