Would you guys mind pointing me in the direction of where I can get the baggage door opening dimensions?  I am about to order an article air cooler for my Cherokee and want to make sure it will fit in the 10. 

Thanks,

It's an odd shaped opening.  Rounded down to the nearest 1/4":

-The vertical at the front is 19.25"

- The horizontal at top is 20.25

- A diagonal of 28" from lower LH corner to upper right

- But then you have to remove a triangle at the lower bottom rear corner 

that is 7" horizontally and 6" vertically

The whole affair looks like (I hope):

I think I understand...  Does the attached drawing look about right?

That's it!

     

     It's a very satisfying piece to assemble because it has a slight     compound curve throughout it.  Not sure how you would fabricate it     without CAD and CNC... at least without n years of sheet metal     experience... but it just clecos together and fits perfectly.

Hey Shannon,

  

 I've made my own cooler/ac for the baggage  compartment in the -10.  I'll get dimensions of the cooler tomorrow -- it's  about a perfect fit.

  

 Later, - Lew

Is the article meant to be arctic air cooler? if so buy it from Lew, on  this list, or make it yourself. much less expensive.

 I need to get around to making mine one of these days.

Yes, it was supposed to be artctic.  Auto correct on my phone got me again.  I would be happy to buy it from Lew. Does anyone have his phone number?

OK Shannon,



The dimensions of the cooler I use are 14X14X24, and it tapers slightly toward the bottom so that it slides in perfectly.



I'll attach the pictures I posted earlier.  The cooler is at Walmart now for less than $20.  It's the 48 qt. Island Breeze by Igloo.



I've modified the a/c cooler I made for Wes by wiring the fans in series instead of parallel.  This cuts the amps down and still puts out a lot of cool air and doesn't use the ice up so fast.  The 12v computer fans I use are actually for servers and put out more cfm than any others I've run across.



I think the advantage of this style that I've put together is that it uses the heater core (out of junkyard cars) as a heat exchanger that actually pulls moisture out of the cabin instead of just blowing air over ice.



I haven't gotten around to making the plenum yet that would sit on the console between the seats with directional air vents ... stay tuned!



Later, - Lew

Here is the earlier post with links to the pictures that Lew posted earlier.






Hey Patrick,



Here are a couple of pictures of the last one I made for the guy that flies a Cessna.  He has his accessory outlet on the dash, so I made the in-line switch about two feet from the receptacle, with a total length of about 11 feet so that he can put the cooler in the back.  The 4" ducts extend to 8 ft. and they are quick detach.



Thanks for the interest, - Lew
