Just out of curiosity, what do regular buses do to keep air conditioning flowing throughout the bus? I've been on some real nice tour buses that keep nice cool air flowing throughout the bus somehow run just off the bus engine. Are the bus conversion motorhomes able to do the same, or are they running different types of AC's?
That is a very good question. I've seen some busses that have a massive mechanical AC compressor on the massive diesel engine. That makes sense but I have also seen some busses with a large shroud on the top of the bus and when inside, it would appear that the shroud contains a self contained AC system. I did find that they make 24v DC powered rooftop AC units for busses but the couple I found were smaller and mostly for the driver. Maybe someone makes even larger ones and the coach manufacturers add a massive or secondary alternator on the huge bus engine.
