A few years ago I saw an old conversion van with a window unit rigged into the back of it, they had a bumper hitch platform with a generator to run it. Needless to say it was

At least that one makes sense. Some people use conversion vans for camping of a sort.

dang it Ken you beat me to it. I was just about to throw those pictures up!

I don't even know where to start with this one.

Isn't there medicine for people who strap window units to a car.

You should do it poke, but strap it to the back beer window, not the side.
You will need a big inverter too.

silvereagle07 · 06-04-2009, 01:28 PM

Mount the generator in the bed and duct the window unit to sliding window. Start it up, light it up and chill out.

Hey

,

With the amount of $$ it takes to buy a window unit and an invertor big enough to run it, you could fix a stock system and it would work much better.
