Good day! we are super grateful to be part of this community and wanted to share some of photos of our new mount for the extended transit van as well as placement of the condenser on a standard transit using the standard mount. As always we are super interested in feedback, opinions, etc from both our current customers and future customers. As we spend more time with customers, their vans or just simply underneath a van we get inspired to make version changes to make this simply the best undermount system.

Firstly, here is our new V3 condenser using the standard included mounts next to the fuel tank. The length and width of the condenser is prefect to fit between the two larger frame rails. With 4-8 flanged head riv nuts, this would be a super easy horizontal mounting location assuming you do not require this space for any other parts of your build (water tanks, etc)

And our new brackets for mounting vertically on a extended Ford Transit single rear wheel using the factory M12 threaded holes. This placement is excellent for airflow, completely protected by the spare tire (condenser is shorter than the spare tire), and it takes minutes to install without any drilling or modifications. $99 upgrade and it includes the fasteners.

i see the 48v version, it lists Compressor Speed 1, Evaporator Speed 3: 12,000BTU/h 900W

do you have the numbers for Compressor Speed 1, Evaporator Speed 2 and Compressor Speed 1, Evaporator Speed 1?

any chance future models will use dual 24v fans so the whole system is 48v?

I don't have those numbers presently until we have a test rig together. The compressors are coming in spec'd the same. Yes, dual 24V condenser fans are going to be an option.

Do you know of any installs where the condenser has been ~~squeezed~~ mounted on the passenger side of a 148" (with OEM running boards

)? I took a quick look a while back and it was close, perhaps? with some mods to running board brackets. But also concerned about shielding from exhaust heat.

I don't see it happening, the possible places you are much too close to the exhaust.

what's the concern of going through a bit of standing water if you had to with that unit?

None. The fans are as sealed as your radiator fan, if anything it would be a welcome cool down/rinse off for the condenser.
