That plate underneath will drastically reduce the efficiency of the aircon, it will be pulling the hot air that is being pushed out back into the unit making it work so much harder. I have the same unit
The intake and output are separated by the chassis rail. Just had it running all weekend in 30°C and never faltered. The installation manual calls for a stone/water spray guard underneath to protect the intake and output vents.
Great install video 👍
Thanks
Adelante con esas mejoras! Hermosa rodante...
Gracias. También cree que tendrá su primer uso muy pronto. Aquí empieza a calentarse.
Hey, great vid! what tape did you use to seal the edging of the floor?
@@JAD-o3t aluminium tape
Great vid! Just wondering what the tape was you installed around the edge of the cut floor? Thanks
Very impressive install. I'm struggling to find reviews of the different models available and the price difference is huge. Truma Saphir (Dearest) Versus Cool-J Versus Versus Furion 9000 (cheapest) Versus Finch HB900 (a couple of poor reviews) and there may be more. I'm running a Coromal 5.2M pop top caravan. What was the primary reason for you going with the Cool-J?
Probably price and shipping. Also the HB9000 is rated for a much bigger caravan than ours so it should handle the size of ours easily. I've used it in 37°C temps and went well with our poorly insulated caravan.
Nice work!
Thanks Eric. A very timely upgrade coming into summer.
Great video. Remarkably difficult to find any details about these via the online sellers. I couldnt figure out until watching this video that its literally just a 240 v stanard ac plug. I was concerned it might have needed a hard wire.
Thanks for the feedback. I will pass that onto the company as i keep in contact with them.
Nice work. great video, well done
Thanks Juan. Can't wait to use it this weekend.
Great video, are you able to comment on how well the unit actually works, thinking of purchasing one myself. Any information will be greatly appreciated.. Keep up the good work.
Camped in January over 4 days with temps above 35°C every day and was comfortable inside in the middle of the day. Our older van has minimal insulation so I would say with a newer van it would be even better. Unit isn't noisy either. It is installed directly beneath where I sleep and I slept well. If you can though I would recommend installing the ducts as high as you can get them.
@@AllThingsOutdoors Awesome mate, thanks for your quick response! It’s just as I needed to hear, I will now order one using your discount code . Cheers, and keep up the good work!
Are you useing a generator or inverter?
@@ericmcglashan1782 generator when off grid or mains power. Batteries aren't big enough to run the AC for a useful length of time.
Thanks for covering the install. How well does it work mate?
Tested it out in hot weather?
Had it running non stop this last weekend in 35°C temps and never faltered. Love it!
@@AllThingsOutdoors awesome. Glad to hear that.
I see you havent installed the vent inside the cabin, is that not necessary in all installations … trying to work this all
out for my own caravan 🤔
I didn't need to as there is a large opening under the bunk to allow air to recirculate back to the unit.
Great video mate, notice you didn’t install the drain pipe, are they not needed?
The drain pipe is only needed if there is insulation or a false bottom to penetrative through. My caravan doesn't have either of those.
@@AllThingsOutdoors thanks mate, does the top of the unit vibrate much? We have a tight fit under the bed. The technician at Cool J didn’t think it would be a problem as long as the sides have the correct spacing.
I sleep directly above mine and not a problem
Hi, do you have a video on how you made the bed and bunk beds? Thanks
Yes. I have an entire playlist of the whole renovation
