Do these things work?

Idle the truck. ..
Unless you mean the truck hvac fan is dead. Usually just a loose wire.
Otherwise walmart, truck stop, etc.
If the truck is broken get a hotel room and worry about it tomorrow.CrappieJunkie Thanks this. -
Lift the hood as soon as you park to let the engine cool off. Breezeway window screens. 12v Burton 12" fan in front of an open window so it sucks in the cooler night air from outside. And all that fails, fill a cooler with ice.
OLDSKOOLERnWV and Hurst Thank this. -
Agreed,.. I'm from Fla,.. but there is no way I can sleep if its too hot. Everyone knows,.. during the day,.. the thermostat is fair game,.. but at night its mine. I've even resorted to putting a window unit in our bedroom because my brother would cry that he was too cold.
My wife and I are perfect sleeping buddies. She's always cold, and I'm always hot. She wraps her legs around me for warmth and keeps me cool. LOL
But yeah,.. if AC in the truck quit or my generator didnt work,.. I'd be in a hotel room for sure.
HurstGrubby, OLDSKOOLERnWV, CrappieJunkie and 1 other person Thank this. -
I have a 400 watt inverter and I plug in a regular house fan let it run all night no problems starting the next day
rank Thanks this. -
What about a 12v fan designed for radiator cooling? They move a butt load of air. You can get them up to 15" diameter. Put 1 in the window and another between the seats facing the bunk.
That guy with the "ice cooler"... His A/C is out AND he can't open his windows? (He must have really been bad in a former life.. LOL)
So instead of fixing his windows he spends $ on an ice chest with a built in fan so he can then go out 3 or 4 times a day and buy ice so that he can have some cool humid air blow on him....
Maybe just me but I think window repair would have been a better investment...
And that car is a CONVERTABLE...! Screw fixing the windows, DROP THE TOP..
Or buy stock in an ice company..... LOL -
Tornado works for me.
-
I think swift might be an option..no ac?
They would find their truck parked in the middle of the nearest highway. -
The W900 I was running last year had no bunk a/c at all (as in no parts even!lol)
Bought one of those Tornado fans from a J iirc, and used the clip it comes attached with to hang it in front of a front a/c vent. By the time it got to the bunk the air was just kinda cool, but it sure moved the air! Plus it has totally adjustable speeds.QuietStorm and rank Thank this.
