[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 43940, member: 82"] The problem with a window unit is its 110/240v. Not the sort of power draw that a cheap general purpose inverter will run. Ideally you want a sine wave inverter too, the cheap ones i believe are square wave, this causes the induction motors to get hotter than they should. If you were really committed, you could get the gear from a car and set it up. Run the compressor off the engine, condensor on the radiator/oil cooler like the factory one is. The evaporator and fan are behind the ROPS, not sure if you could rig it up too or not. I have also seen ones that is a unit that sits on the top of the ROPS, i suspect the compressor is engine mounted and hoses run to the box on the lid. There is a lot of work.... Then you will need an enclosure. Have you looked for a used AC machine and sell yours? [/QUOTE]
