Technical Trunk mounted A/C in a 40! Anybody done it?

Someone already said it but the cool air blowing on you from dash vents is a huge part of the cooling you feel form AC. Imagine an airliner without vents above you, the cabin would still be air conditioned but it is going to take a long time to feel it and everyone gets the same distribution.

 

It's coming up to the time of year in my part of the world to start daydreaming about this stuff again.

 

I have air in my truck, even with a small cab and air turned up, it was still hot due to setting right next to the side glass. I tinted the windows which made a drastic improvement in how the cab cools off. Insulation and stopping air leaks is a must, no matter what system you go with. Be sure your engine cooling is right, the added heat from the condenser will over heat a weak system.

 

Just an fyi:
