A/C Condenser Evaporative Cooling Assist
I am wondering if any company offers an evaporative cooler designed to reduce RV A/C condenser inlet air temp to assist in 95+ deg temps? I designed such a system (inspired by some mechanical engineer...

Chum lee,
I get it that you understand the technical concept of evaporative cooling to assist the A/C by significantly reducing condenser temperature. Your responses however seem to suggest that this is an impractical solution looking for a suitable problem. I have already demonstrated to myself how well it works on a home residential system under extreme temp conditions. I would agree that under normal camping conditions there is no need to assist an RV A/C. It is the extreme high ambient temperature conditions that I routinely run into every year (as do others camping in Jul/ Aug here in TX) where the heat load exceeds the A/C BTU capacity (which unfortunately is decreasing as temps go above 95) that would benefit.
