I've been tempted to try that in my F250 truck. Though, rather than a mini-split, I'm looking into the (few) portable room heat pumps. Smaller and easier to deal with. NOTE: when looking for those, you have to watch the specs carefully. There are many "portable heat pumps, both heat and cool!" that are a standard air conditioner, with an Electric heater to provide the heat. -- Tigers prowl and Dragons soar in my dreams... _______________________________________________ Address messages to ev@lists.evdl.org No other addresses in TO and CC fields UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ LIST INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org
