See "Modifications". I've read about this before.. I wonder if most AC
compressors could or could not be run on variable DC @ 120V from a
near full fielded alternator. Voltage control under variable rpm and
cycle timing control would be useful... which is hopefully what the
below does (price unknown, and not yet available) it would be a great
solution along with an extra alternator.

I'll ask them tomorrow what the expected price is for their unit along
with the main unit. Maybe a group-buy could bring the price down if
it's in the ballpark of reasonable to begin with.

I made the same set up for my '75 Westy and it worked very well. In fact, when I sold my '75 a few weeks ago, I kept it. It will need a little tweeking to fit my '84 Westy, but not too bad. Added benefit: in a noisy campground it drowns out the jerks who want you to hear their music/conversation all night.      Jeff
