Subject:Re: Best AC Condenser Option

I can't give you any brands, but using a newer generation condensor which utilizes the 'serentine tubing' will offer better performance than the stock unit. They have fewer braised joints so are also less prone to leak and better performance for a comparible sized unit.

If you are an experimentor, you might want to try adding an additional condensor under the van to boost the cooling ability - but you would need to correctly calculate the amount of additional refrigerant you might need.

regards,
Todd
