I received a Sharper Image catalog and they have some snazzy $24
4 "D" cell powered desk fan... I'm wondering if that would work better?

I've seen RV/Camper catalogs with all manner of A/C units... couldn't
quite figure out how I'd rationalize installing a generator to run
the air conditioner and still get the Zenmobile to move with the
additional weight... sure liked the idea, though!!!

Shakes, rattles, and does not put out any breeze that's worthwhile.

I'd like to find out how good those electrically powered top-mounted
A/C units in the J.C. Whitney Catalog are.  They cost less than $400.00
and look like they can be made to fit on the top front where they left the
space to tie down stuff, etc..
