Inverter did your rv come with this??
I'm wondering if you have one do you get a lot of use from it? Will a dealer install it and at what cost? Can you shut off your dash board air and run your ac off it? Do most units come with it instal...

Half kidding, but here's an idea!
A few shots of a homemade air conditioner for a RV with no dash air and a genset that just died. It's design came from necessity as I had to drive north through California's central valley on I-5 a couple of summers ago through that baking summer heat. During that record breaking heat wave. Gasp!
Doesn't draw hardly anything from the 200 Watt inverter I have and with just 10 lbs of ice per day, kept me comfortable in the driver's seat all day over the three days on that trip. Cost maybe $25 to make. I got the fans and the wall cube at a thrift store, the plumbing at Home Depot, and the ice chest at a Dollar Store.
But, I sold that RV, and my new one the dash air and the genset both work. I'll give this to anyone that wants to come get it here in Mesa, Arizona. Hate to throw it away. Nice cool air. Would work at an outside BBQ too.
I stacked two 12V computer muffin fans and held them in place with a couple long sheetrock screws.
Since I left the ice in the bags, when I arrived at my destination, still had some ice for drinks. WINNING!
