We have been having some fairly warm weather in Scotland (you know we are not used to it being more than 20 C) So I have fitted a solar ventilator on the roof where the ariel mount was. Great thing is the one I bought was exactly the same size as the ariel mount so a really neat fit! Painted it looks original part. Of course it hasn't been so warm since so not sure how good it is!

ScottishPinz - We've been "enjoying" afternoon temps near 39C here lately so I've actually been considering a trailer mounted air conditioning unit 
for my Pinz.

Eric,it's a Redot 6100,I believe it was rated at around 16000 BTU under ideal conditions. I fabbed a bracket for the compressor using the parts manual pic as a guide. The unit can be had in 24v,and the sanden compressor is 24v also. Not counting my time I have around $1500 in it. Sure is nice on dusty trails with the group,close windows and turn it on,adj the tunes and have a cool drink! 
It draws so little power that I've had no need to turn it off.

Re: Solar ventilator
That does look really nice and factory.
