"star trek bridge"

Well in my dreams.....

if I was to install AC, I'd love to find a way to use a 12V motor tp
drive the compressor, install parts that get hot outside, and cooler
parts (evaporater coil) on the inside. I would do this in the front of
the van.

Rough it all in, and get an AC dude to plumb it/fill it.

Failing that, the Mk IV could do the trick.

Neil.
