I have been looking at these for a while now. I have a Zero Breeze 2 which, at 2300 btu, is acceptable for nighttime, but not enough to even begin to cool the van down during a sunny day. It will, however, run all night on its own 2 batteries, without hitting the houses batteries at all. I was hoping this one, at 6800btu, would do a better job, but I was talking to someone 2 weeks ago at the Mid Atlantic Overland Festival who had one installed in a high-top Sprinter, and he said you had to be right under it to feel anything and it would not even begin to cool the entire vehicle. Of course that is a sizable area, but I was disappointed to hear it. I have seen a few other entries hit the market. With new battery and 12v compressor technologies making steady improvement, I'm sure something will be here soon.

Thanks Carl. Disappointing to hear, but glad to hear a real world example. Agree that something will come on the market. I still have my Danhard…

BTW, I bought the Zero Breeze Mark 2, one battery, DC to DC charger, etc. Did some testing. Will use it next trip. My van is pending rear differential work that has delayed my travel. Anyway, will try it next time I travel including the East Coast Meetup.
