Subject:Help With 110 Volt A/C BTU Requirement Sought

Has anyone actually calculated or experienced how many BTUs are required
to make a Westfalia 70 degrees inside via a 110 volt connection to an air
conditioner at say, the average of 100 degrees in the shade or 85 degrees
in the sun? This would be with the poptop up and some air leakage through
the canvass.<br><br>
I would like the option to bring along a 110 volt air conditioner for
temporary installation in the luggage rack for use while camping, and if
I could solve this soon it will save some hotel bills which add up fast.
<br><br>
There was some list discussion about tiny 110 volt units at Home Depot so
now I have acquired an interest in a tiny 110 volt A/C unit but not sure
how tiny is too tiny. I figured that the tiniest unit made would be good,
but don't know where to get such a unit or who has looked into
this.<br><br>
Please report to us if you have conducted such research.&nbsp; <br><br>
This is for use when the motor is off. <br>
