HZ Aircon

[abncraig]

After driving from Gold coast to perth in a hg this week with no air con, it really got me thinking that I should put an aircon in my HZ for the longer hotter trips. What are the options factory or aftermarket.

Go factory integrated. There are a few different aftermarket ones but they sometimes do horrible things like cut the glovebox to fit or have under dash blowers etc.

Look forward to that, as my Pano doesn't have aircon either and when I brought it home it was 40c, humid and I drove for 7 hours non stop (fuel stops of course). Air would have been good!!

IMHO the underdash is the most efficient, then factory intergrated, then the one you cut the glovebox for.

I agree that the under dash is the most efficient, that's because the fan is blowing straight over the evaporator into the cab and doesn't have to go through ducts. If you are installing a factory one you can insulate the ducts to make it more efficient but you still have the undersized evaporator next to, above, the exhaust. In saying that though i would still prefer to put in a factory system, just don't like the look of the under dash clingons

For future reference when this happens, click back into the text box where you were typing (even if you had to click forward or back to go back to the page where you were posting) then press "CNTRL + Z" (the command for 'undo') and your text should re-appear - unless you closed the window/tab you were working in.
