Keep in mind I am converting this 3 door into a camper.
Would this work? Power the smallest window unit available (10"H x 14"W x 12"D, 514watts, 7 amps, 5000 BTU, $150) using at least a 1000+ watt inverter on a dual battery system. The unit would be placed in the floor section of the rear right behind the wall behind the front seats. I would cut out a section of the 9" wall punching in the area behind the passenger seat. Dirt and water shields would be developed.
Advantages - very inexpensive ($300 total), no drag on on engine, can be run when engine is off via battery (for a very short while) and via wall outlet.
Disadvantages - not the proper way but that is what is so fun about Defenders - make it work with what you have and can get your hands on. And . . . ?
