Ok, so it gets pretty hot in AZ, has anyone found a suitable small AC unit for RZR's yet?

They make an HVAC ranger. Wonder if it would be possible to swap one of theirs into a razor ?

Might be cheaper just to buy the Ranger. Drive the Ranger during the hot season and drive your RZR during the cooler months. Problem Solved. I to wish they made a HVAC RZR edition but I think the next in line to get HVAC is going to be the General.

Exactly! I'm glad somebody posted this before people started buying that Vintage Air unit and found out it's only ~half the system.
Probably true - but it would still be cool to see somebody swap the Ranger AC setup over.
That said, I think you'd be better off giving a cool-shirt a try like race drivers use. They circulate water through a cooler, then through a special shirt with tubes run around it.

I also would like to know if there's a way to put AC on a razor. I am considering one for multi-use both on and off highway out of Las Vegas Nevada. While it's fine to go at higher altitudes or higher speeds when you're driving it in an urban area you still need to survive in the heat.

I guess if I needed all the HVAC, I would be looking seriously at the Ranger XP that has it all from the factory.

What he said sounds like a plan.

Never saw this thread before until tonight. This was the hottest summer I can remember here in PA hands down. Plus add having to wear a stupid mask half the day it was unbearable. I did not do much riding at all this summer just because I needed my weekends to recover from the week in the AC of my house. But an AC in my RZR would have changed that I think.
Watched this video and I can't see it doing much in reality. I doubt it would like dust very much. I have a cloth cab for my 800 and it was nice in the winter for plowing snow but any other riding in any temp over 50 degrees F I hated it. Just was to hot for my blood. I don't understand why people put heaters in these things at all.

Everything in the world overheats in such heat. I don’t know how do people endure the heat in summer without air conditioning. A month ago, when we moved to a new house, our air conditioner broke down. I just went crazy for a week until I found someone who could fix it. I called almost all the Different Types of Aircon Services in search of a solution to the problem. And finally, it works again. For me, it is such a big problem to survive the heat. We lived in a cold area, and I'm used to low temperatures. To be without extra coolness in the house in the summer is just a disaster for me.

That reminded me of the Red Green Show from years ago. He did the same thing to the Possum Van so his ice cream would not melt on the long trip from town back to the Possum Lodge. What a great show. I miss it. Fixed everything with duct tape except ducts. That required scotch tape. His motto was.. If the women don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy.Florida...

Maybe another option. No idea how well it works but the guy designed it for his side by side so maybe worth a try
So TJ is kind of on the right track. I’ve put some time into this and even had a few small discussions with satv. The idea behind the cooling shirt really works but as you find out it’s only good for so many hours. After that you’re kinda screwed. So I had done some testing at my work (factory) with a cooling shirt and the recommended latching ice chest with various ice/water combos. It does work quite well but as said, after X amount of hours it’s done. Also it works well for C amount of time if you were to disconnect from it to get out and say winch. Soo, having spare time and a few extra ($300ish) I ordered from slow boat a micro 12V AC system. I had planned to change the cold side for a flat plate exchanger and the other side of it would go to a water tank of sorts. This would chill the water and remove heat as your body puts it in. It does have a rheostat to turn it up and down some as well. Bc trust me when the ice water is fresh it’s really cold. You can find these units on the web and even see the compressor the size of soda cans. I still have all the parts to include self closing quick detach valves, shirt, AC, flat plate exchanger, etc. I wasn’t gonna let the cat outta the bag until I tested it but I’ve been soo slow at projects to include stretching the rs1, I might as well through it out there and maybe someone else can make it happen before me.
