I'm looking for ways to heat (mostly), dehumidify and cool inside a motor caravan. It started life as a small refrigerated truck with substantial 'freezer' spec walls and I'm slowly converting it. The living space is approx 4m x 2m x 2m and there is a little, but not much, ventilation. Power comes from a mains hook-up or a 24V, 170Ah battery via a 2.5kW inverter. I am installing solar panels on the roof and I expect to see upwards of 250W from them.

Ideally, I'd like a heat pump that runs from 24V but I reckon I'm unlikely to find one of those - well, at a reasonable price anyway. So I guess I'm looking for a very low power, high COP, aircon system. Am I being unreasonable?
