funny you should mention that .... a fellow down in florida used to
sell a 'kit' that consisted of a small 120v ac household air
conditioner that sat in the front luggage area, and had a
'sock'/tunnel that zipped into the 'window' (which had to be unzipped)
and blew the cool/cold air down into the bus via the popped-top. don't
know what held it securely in travel. :) and you were restricted to
campsites with electrical power. i suppose you could get any long
15-amp-rated extension cord. might make those summer nights a bit more
comfy, even if you did lose the outside luggage storage. :)

no, i don't know if he's still selling them. i haven't seen the ad in
a long time ... i think it was in HOT VW's.
