    just went on the '11 power tour and it was hot. while the vintage air monster cooler worked fine in the morning it just couldn't keep up as we cruised the highway in 95-100 degree temps. so i am looking to add a rear a/c unit . any install pics or suggestions? thanks

    Rear AC

    Good idea. We had two vans, Chevy and Dodge and the rear AC worked great in Florida. Didn't use them too much. Some of these units are fairly compact. :clap:

    That is hilarious, Fox! :rofl2: That poor Continental. :disagree:

    59, I like that idea about the minivan rear air units...those are showing up big time in the wrecking yards, and some are very compact. Toyota Previa does a nice one, and I bet the Mopar units are a good possibility.
    I might even check one out for mine. :2_thumbs_up_-_anima These wagons have so much glass, and I'm not usually a fan of dark window tint. (with exceptions...it looks great on some)

    You Might be a Redneck

    Was this a Cheesehead car? :rofl2:Or possibly the deep South? Very deep! :mad: Probably would have been cheaper to just fix the original. Changing lanes must be fun!:yahoo:

    No. It belongs to a flatlander that has since moved to Chiefland, Florida.
