I can't see the pic but will when back home or in pub this evening. Thanks. :xl:

I have become so used to the idea of top mounted big old aircons that it too me a wee bit for my lateral thinking to kick in. Something like this size vented out the passenger window would get the job done.

Just a shame that at this size it's still compressor driven. The first inverter type I found was a Bosch 5000btu unit.

Excellent,

4 of 550W JA solar panels £300. Collecting Saturday.

The Vanport is looking like carrying,

1.12kW of panels running back through a 1kW Hoymiles. (Existing, relocated)
400W panel on a single Enphase M215 (existing, relocated)
2.2kW of new panels running back through an as yet unpurchased Hoymiles HMS 2000 4T (Fingers crossed)

We are off to the races once more! :twisted:

Tidier races too, or possibly regaining low level space for later. Hit up on our first one month 1MWh export up to 19th April. August last year since we've done that.

Will keep looking for small aircon portable solutions. America seems better served in this regard. Collecting the 4 550W panels on Saturday morning in the trusty van with No1 son. Will need to find a spot to store them in as it'll be a while before they are energised. :roll:

Try amazon Joe, you have to mess with the search terms but there are a few vehicle / caravan / mobilehome / automotive / vehicle air con systems available
