AC for FE

It looks like this guy wanted his AC and some extra MPG off the grid.
(That is a compressor under the motor plate..?..)

It seems like a few people are interested in the idea. But, most folks just can't live without their AC..

The under-powered AC on my 1999 CRV is still working. And when I looked at the compressor, it seemed really small. Not a lot of space in there for adding on a motor..

For sure, I don't like the idea of the small 5th wheel (that can fall into pot-holes) like Mike made for his Insight. We got way too many giant potholes around here. Might be good for states with good roads..

So, it's back to the drawing board (or Post-It note pad in my case).

Thank you all for your input.
