    My headache rack prevents me from ever cutting a hole in the back and putting an AC in it. Problem solved! LOL

    What no engineers have yet figured out is that the optimum way to do this in my opinion is to create a hybrid (mechanical/electric) AC compressor for trucks and RV's.
    Then just plug your truck into whatever and run the factory unit.

    Was what I typed confusing to you?

    I thought I typed out a very thorough explanation of how I feel about it and what my concerns are.

    Its your truck. You do what you want. I have done things to my truck that others do not agree with. I feel its my business. I am not going to let what others think dictate what I do with my truck.

    Dont worry about what I think. You do what ever you feel is best for you. I am entitled to my own opinions about things. It should not matter or effect you.

    I like the setup you designed it looks nice and clean. I also think you made the right call in having a separate box for gas.

    Check this split AC installation on RV, the inside unit is small enough to fit any truck and you only need 2 small holes for it.

    That's the problem with that a/c. A roof mount or a hillbilly a/c is alot simpler to install.
     
    Hurst and nonsense007 Thank this.
