Wait where is the battery box cover

Hi

Wait where is the battery box cover

Probably because of all the lights on and inside of it, the batteries needed charged and they forgot the cover. It’s probably outside the door.

Certainly. My thought is an electric DC compressor will be more effective and efficient than one driven by AC or an engine driven compressor.
1– on a vehicle, not connected to shore power, a DC system avoids the loss of conversion to AC;
2– an electric compressor can run without the engine running full time;
3– properly installed adding battery packs is cheaper and more efficient than solar, and able to be recharged by shore power, solar and alternator;
4– running an alternator puts less stress on the engine than running an AC compressor;
5– if the cab is properly insulated, and shaded while not being operated, an electric system could likely keep the cab 'comfortable' in most conditions with minimal idling.

have doubts on #4..... likely equal when you size up to an alt that can handle minisplit and charging needs.

rest will help....

real help though is make everything behind pilot/copilot seat behind a wall or curtain and just cool the driving space. aka- reduce size of your oven.

Cool build for what they are going to use it for.

I'd have gone another route for an "overlander", myself. I doubt anyone will ever sleep in it. But it's clean looking...
