Cooling the campershell for dogs
Summer is Here in So Cal , had a 98 deg day a couple days ago . Im thinking of doing a campershell for My dogs , My air con works good enough to chill out the interior , and am wondering if Anyone has cooled a campershell through Our little back window . |
I’ve seen guys run duct work from their rear a/c vents to the rear window of the truck. If you like redneck ingenuity, I’ve seen guys retro fit window units and run the power cable up to the 12v plug in the dash :) |
Yeah, I do it. I open the rear cab window and camper shell window. I point the rear seat ait vents right at the open rear window. It gets some cool air back to the dogs.

You might be able to rig a fan in the rear window to blow air into the bed. But it would have to be very cold in the cab to be able to cool the bed area since the shells aren't insulated, and the sun will heat up the shell a lot turning it into an oven.
I would probably try to consider other options if it were me. |

They make these little air hoses that you can pipe in the A/C to an area like for babies and children in the back of your car. you could try using that and put it through the back window

Turn the fan way up and close the front vents. While not perfect it does get a good amount of cool air to the shell. I point the rear seat vents right at the rear window. I have done this traveling across the country several times and it works fairly well.

Thanks to Everybody so far, I've looked at maybe insulating the inside of the shell with rigid foam insulation , and maybe getting a Breezer brand or other back window that opens bigger . Of course , I would never leave Them in there parked in the heat. |
