Ice cooler, small fan (puter fan possibly) with PVC intake and exhaust that can run off of cigar lighter. Would be a piece of cake to make one. It could even be hardwired into the cars system with a fused switch. How long it lasts would depend on how big the ice chest is. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

Ann Henderson Webboard User Reg: 03-05-2002 Posts: 438 Loc: Offline	I hope that one (the link on the first post) works better than the one we purchased. (See web page) Not that it doesn't work at all, but in really hot weather, ie, 90+ degrees, it just can't keep up with the rising heat in the vehicle, even if it has tinted windows and a windshield cover. And we were using it only to keep cool a double cab space in the pickup. Perhaps in areas/times other than central Texas in the summer it would be sufficient...?

Keeps the inside of the crate cool even in very hot weather.

Lou Castle Webboard User Reg: 07-15-2001 Posts: 563 Loc: Offline	If you follow Cathi's advice (and it's good) remember not to fill the bottle all the way to the top or it will EXPLODE in the freezer. Don't ask how I know this. Lou Castle has been kicked off this board. He is an OLD SCHOOL DOG TRAINER with little to offer.

They supposedly can run forever with the AC on. (or is he just appealing to my love for the dogs to get himself a diesel truck...mmm?)

We also have a 4 dog, airconditioned trailer for on site cooling down. On hot days, we take K9 temps often. One of the team members has a four door pu with screen windows in the back two doors and a electric radiator fan in one window. The fan is ran off of a marine battery that last a very long time. Even on hot days the moving air is a big help. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks
