Hey, neat idea! I suppose the thinking is that when the ole clunker DD dies, you just start your genset and drive on home on electric power? Could also be used as a "passing gear" or on hills too I guess. |

I think you'll need a 3 phase genset to run that motor. And the 2 horsepower condenser fan and 1-1/2 hp evaporator fan run on 24 volts. 3 roof airs seeem more reasonable.

I'm talking about 220 ground power,from the elec. company...my eagle doesn't have 24 volt does it..I thought M.C.I's were 24 volt..unless I'm seeing something wrong, the fan runs off a belt& the blower motor runs on 12 volt on a EAGLE |

I believe the biggest 220 volt, single phase, AC motor you can buy is about 5 HP, and it requires a 90 amp input breaker. Don't think you will find this at any campground, besides 5 HP is not enough.

I believe the cooling capacity of a passenger car is generaly greater than the typical house central air conditioner. A house has much less solar heating affecting it than a vehicle and therefore needs much less cooling capacity. |

I think you will find that the btu capacity of the bus AC system is in the 80-90,000 BTU range, while the average rooftop AC is in the 13-15,000 BTU range. I think it would take about a 25hp AC motor to drive the bus AC compressor.
