Are you trying to cool the shop van or the cap?
If you are talking about the shop van then what you are doing is installing
a dehumidification unit. Saw one at the Weare Rally in the flee market 194
lbs 110 volt.
Or you can do what I did for my radio box of my 1942 CMP 3 ton which is
modify a standard small air conditioner (20-40 lbs.) to take the military 6
inch canvas flex duct supply and return. Very quite cools the box to a 20
degree temperature difference and dehumidifies it to below 50%. No
modifications to the trucks just attached the ducts to existing fresh air
grills and made a unit to fit the open area of one window. Works best if
you put the cold air in high at one end and take it out high at the other.
Next year I'm going to paint the entire air conditioner to match the truck
and label it RADIO DEHUMIDIFICATION UNIT.
People though it was funny until they came inside and discovered that it was
very comfortable. Sure makes getting to sleep at night easier. Oh did I
mention the shower and toilet?
