4) If it's very humid, you'll never really be comfortable, without the dehumidification an A/C offers.
5) Any 12-VDC blower, out of any automobile, on 'high'-speed, would provide enough airflow to cool you, if it's going to happen at all. Losing the inefficiency of the inverter might make up the distance with the alternator output.
Yeah, I'd use the blower in the car if my control panel wasn't busted and stuck on heat lol people want like $450 for a non-busted used one so I went with the inverter and blower in the floor for now till I can find a cheaper replacement for the ac controls
