BougeRV is an air conditioner, not useful for heating. The ECOFLOW Wave 2 will heat and cool.
To control the vault lights from inside the vault with the app you must have either cellphone or wifi connectivity. The same is true for the 120VAC outlet and various other features. Only Bluetooth connectivity is needed to open/close the tonneau cover, open the gate, lock/unlock the vehicle, and open/close the frunk.
I couldn't find a button for the lights. Where is it in the app?
Go to Controls and pull up up the tab at the bottom of the display...
Oh what?!? That's awesome thank you for showing me that
Hmmm, my iOS app lacks this feature.Go to Controls and pull up up the tab at the bottom of the display...
Have you downloaded the latest app?
Indeed.
Have you thought about putting the heat pump inside the cabin of the vehicle and threading the exhaust tubes through these two holes? Wouldn't that be an ideal setup? Might help with moisture control and also the cabins heat pump running might help as well if needed. Do you have any photos of what this looks like, or how to get to it (I'm assuming you'd need to pop the plastic off in the vault or something?)
I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting. I originally wanted to pump cabin air into the vault through the rear window, but removing the rear window proved to be too challenging for me, and there's no aftermarket replacement for the rear window at present that features a sliding section.
maybe i misunderstood your post about the 1.5" ports that were covered with "material". i thought they were under the window, in which case i was thinking of putting the tubes through them and venting the heatpump through them.I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting.

I suppose one could run 4" ducts from the cabin to the vault through one of the cabin windows with some kind of window insert with 4" duct connections like this:
In that case, I wouldn't need the BougeRV A/C unit since the CT's heat pump would provide heated or cooled air to the vault. The reason I didn't pursue this approach was because I thought it would be too inefficient. Why heat or cool the cabin AND the vault when the cabin is not being used?
What I came up with is this installation of the 2900 BTU BougeRV A/C unit (plenty big enough to cool the vault's 50 cu ft volume.)
I still need provision for ventilation, though. I'm thinking of putting some kind of a 4" diameter PVC or ABS plastic collar on the intake port with holes to allow a small amount of outside air to be drawn into the circulating air stream.
I'm not sure I answered your question.
When camping, I usually set up my 10" x 10" Crown Shades canopy and park the back of the CT under it at night for protection from forecasted rain (not often needed in the desert). In the day it provides shelter from sun and rain (and wind with optional side panels).
