OK before any of you think I'm off my rocker thinking about AC this time of year, this is just a question from an idiot that doesn't know better.

I have a friend who owns a trailer (OTR) repair place. I was at his shop last week and he has several "reefer" type trailers that were wrecked, and I inquired about the reefer units. I don't know anything about those units, other than they appear to have their own "engine" that runs them. I am not talking about a freezer trailer, only a refrigerated box. I realize those maintain temps that are lower than what would be comfortable, but I was wondering if anybody has ever thought to use one of those as a "basement" type unit, ducting it into the bus? Am I crazy, or would something like that work?

It would sound like you had a freight train in your bays. Very Very noisy.

It could be done, but why? You would have to rearrange all the components to make them fit in a bay, then you would have central air that couldn't be used in quiet campgrounds, no heat, even though they are equipped with defrost heaters, and in my opinion, you don't see them in busses for the same reasons you don't see 2 71 gen sets.
