Has anyone put a 12V roof air conditioner in a T@B 320? How much power will it use?

    Looks like they draw a minimum of 25 amps on eco mode. So real world: maybe 3 hours per 100 amp hour of battery, assuming you are going to be running other things on that battery. Whether or not you could recoup that each day is another question, if you are off grid using solar only. Maybe in a desert setting? You'd have to find a way to run the heavy gauge wire to the unit as well.

    I think that the T@B roof won't support the weight. If I needed 12v cooling I'd probably try one of the portable units like a Zero Breeze and put the hoses through a window.
