Iโm sure there are plenty of people out there that will question my sanity at removing the air-conditioner from The Van, and they may have a point, but I have my reasons none-the-less.
For one thing, most of my camping is done in places without shore-power, and without shore-power the AC unit doesnโt work very well as anything other than a 100 pound chunk of metal sitting high up on top of the roof. In fact itโs been close to three years since that AC unit has done anything other than mess with The Vanโs handling. Something any high profile vehicle can do without!
For another, Iโve already got a hole in the roof that I'm sure I could make much better use of than simply plugging it with an unused appliance. - - - OK, so that's pretty much just a different way of wording my first point, but that just goes to show how strongly I feel about it.
