Air Conditioning?

[conny]

Ok, here's a weird question. Is there enough room to mount a small air conditioning compressor to cool the cab? Curious because my Volvo compressor is only about 4.5" diameter.
If it has been done, anyone have photos?

Thank you.

Anything is possible with enough time and money. There is a lot of room in the Gama Goat engine compartment. You'd have to be creative to mount and drive the A/C compressor. Where would you mount the condenser? If you want a Gama Goat for R&D purposes I have a couple for sale...

Thanks for the reply Joe. If there isn't enough room to mount a slim condenser in front of fan, I thought louvering/hood scooping the motor cover and mounting it underneath with electric fan/s. I'm just spit balling here trying to get ideas.

My wife would never ride in a vehicle (any) without air. At 59 in so-so health, I'm kinda feeling the same way too.

Another member here proposed installing one of the red dot military ac units on the hard top roof. Seems to be the easiest solution.

Red Dot stuff is expensive. Looking to possibly transfer a car air service to goat. I in vision something that functions and looks good. It only has to cool the small cab so unit doesn't have to be that huge. Anyway, thanks for the responses.
