Solis Pocket Battery A/C

[Slick Willy]

I really want to buy this pocket. Love the bed and the dinnette.
Can even overlook the lack of bathroom and shower (who needs those anyway).

But, no air conditioning unless your plugged in?
Has anyone added more battery capacity and a larger DC to AC inverter?
Too bad that wasn't and option. We could boondock for a day then every other day we could stay at an RV park and charge them back up.

We really could use some more options.

You are not being totally realistic.

Running an A/C off of batteries is possible. However, it takes a great deal of battery power to do so for even 2 hrs. And, you'll find very few small Class B Vans that either offer this as an option or have enough space for a battery bank that large be able to manage even an hour of A/C.

For a great deal of expense you may be able to modify a Solis Pocket to run the A/C OR you can run a gas powered generator and have A/C as much as you want.

It's fine to wish we were to the point that you can choose between half a dozen Class Bs ( or Class Cs or Class As) that can manage this as a product from any manufacturer - but it's unrealistic and not going to happen.

We're getting closer to this all the time. But it's at least 3 to 5 years away.

You can get a Class C Winnebago EKKO with an optional 640aH battery bank and a high efficiency A/C unit that is pretty well suited for a few hours of A/C running. And, Winnebago's new EV Concept Class B has 15Kwh of lithium house batteries and a super efficient A/C that can run for nearly 10 hours on batteries. But it's a concept vehicle and years from being in production.

So, don't hold this against the Solis Pocket Class B. Nobody else can really do what you want either.
