Man it's hot ( or I need Air Conditioning suggestions)

[bubblerboy64]

I think I am going to try the fan and see if that will help me out.
The real problem likely is the position of the forward most air unit
which is back of the driver a distance. If I could slide that unit
forward a foot or so it would help a lot, no practical way to do
that, and of course when the coach was built (and the engine air
working) no need. My ideal solution would be a small air conditioner
positioned where the condenser housing is and have air ducted
straight down from that location. I know we are an inventive bunch
and I just figured perhaps some one had an ideal solution.

My weekend project was to set up my Honda Fit to use as a "toad". Had
some difficulty working on the car because of limited room in the
engine compartment but I got it done. Not going to use the toad much
but the wife likes the idea of a "spare" since The Napper is far from
new.
