Has anyone seen or used an Continuous absorption AC system (compressorless like the fridge)? Think of it, you could have ac while parked, no compressor to steal power from the engine, no ozone depleting chemicals. The cabinet in the back where the curtains are stowed could accomodate it. Propane fired (second vent at the back of the van) and use small blowers over the evaporator without too huge a draw on the battery. After poking about on the web I've found lots of info on how the system works in refrigerators and freezers, but have not found any mobile AC units. Am I missing something? Sort of like the cold equivalent of trying to weld with a match? Anybody BTDT? Any rocket scientists out there with some spit and chewing gum? Walter
