”Most reviews are van people with poor poorly insulated to no insulated vans, with lots of zero insulated glass that traps heat. These review are useless feedback for me as the van is a fail from the start so, yes, a small ac will fail for sure in a metal can. That is not me."
You know this how? Youve seen their vans, and know they dont have insulation?
Most people that self build van conversions are pretty thorough. Theyre on the same mission as you. And since they dont want people peeping in their living space, theres usually a barrier of some kind behind the front seats. In fact the va
Yes, thanks for asking. I do know because these were all video reviews that showed everything inside their van, so yes, you can see how their van is built, you can see bare door frames exposed inside, can see acres of window glass too, can see their build technique that radiates heat through the walls and ceilings via the metal, so yes, I do know, but I look, did not peep.
Having done many projects there are things that pop out that I see only bc I have experience that I would not see before gaining experience.
The reason I am specifically looking for Rigid users is that the reviews were all inconclusive for many reasons such as poor insulation, no front window barrier, poor use of the item, and then the other options are using portable units that themselves have very bad reviews etc.
My insulation is not magic, but the reason I do not share too much info is because I am not looking or needing feedback on my insulation, it is far better than all the van builds that have used the Rigid and done a review, and 99% of the vans I have ever seen, does not mean that your van is lesser, but that I just have not seen it. I appreciate everyone trying to guess based on looking at the Rigid website if it would work for me or not, but I have already guess too and cannot guess without hearing from Rigid users with better insulated small spaces.
Something that does not work blowing against a hot wall or window tells me little unfortunately.
I have more specific questions, but will be happy to discuss insulation and build on a separate forum thread with its own topic.
The original interest is on the Rigid unit, which nobody so far has ever seen or owned, so after 3 pages her we are.
