WOW!, that's really nice.
Thanks, Sam,
et al.Does it keep the camper cool with the top up?
I chose a 5000 BTU A/C, reasoning that it will keep the camper as cool as a 5000 BTU heater will on a cold day up North.
Those "Arctic Packs" that come in handy for heat retention up North would serve us just as well as "Tropic Packs" when trying to keep heat out.
That said, we were able to cool the space from ambient to 75 degrees in shaded 90 degree heat the other day. This would be analogous to heating the space in 50 degree temps-- a 20 degree differential.
Solar gain, which helps the heating side of the equation, seriously hurts cooling. We have always created artificial Summer shade by surrounding the entire camper with reflective tarps.
We'll make sure and report back as problems arise.
