Last summer when I was working inside my gutted Bubble, running
electrical, etc the temperature was around 92-95 degrees for many days
(common summer temp. in southern new mexico). I had installed my heat
pump and had it running from house power. Running steadily, the best I
could do was get the interior temp. down to 85 degrees. I was using a
12000 BTU heat pump which I expected would make ice cubes in the 13ft
interior space. No so. However, this summer, with similar temp and a
polished exterior, and of course a finished interior which probably
affords some insulation, I can get and hold temp to 72 degrees with no
strain. . I can only chalk it up the the polishing. I am amazed at how
cool the exterior feels when you touch it.
