Yes, AC is now available on all Bean Trailer models!
- Can the new AC be retrofit on Bean?
- No, the wiring and roof structure is different. Some Bean owners have had success with Zero Breeze.
- Can current orders add the AC?
- No, we can only accommodate new orders that have been quoted a 6-month lead time.
- What is the price of the AC?
- $3,000. We recommend upgrading to the front box and dual lithium batteries on Bean Stock, Classic Bean, Mean Bean and Meaner Bean if you plan on running the AC on battery power.
- Will it operate on battery power?
- Yes, it will operate on dual batteries for a short period. You should plan on relying on a generator or shore power for extended use.
- How long will it operate on battery power?
- Depends on the use. In humid and hot environments, like the beach in North Carolina, we gotten as little as 3 hours with dual lithium batteries.
- Will your solar panel keep up with the AC
- No, the AC depletes power at a higher rate than the solar panel generates power. Please, plan on utilizing a generator or a shore power connection to run the AC for an extended time.
We assume you are using the fridge and lights, and using the vent fan only when you’re inside in the evening or during inclement weather. There are many factors that go into how long your batteries last. Did you leave your refrigerator out and sitting in the sun causing the compressor to kick on more frequently? What temperature did you set it to? Is the weather poor so you’re inside the trailer using the vent fan all day? Even the time of year can affect this.
Rather than list how long the batteries last, here are their energy capacities. This will help determine how long each option lasts comparatively. AGM Batteries can only be used till they hit 50% without damaging the battery. You will effectively have double the capacity with the lithium battery.
AGM: 100Ah, 50Ah usable, 1-3 days normal usage
Li-ion: 105Ah, 105Ah usable, 2-6 days normal usage
Dual Li-ion: 210Ah, 210Ah usable, 4-8 days normal usage
Black Bean only Quad Li-ion: 420Ah, 420Ah usable, 7+ days normal usage
Any battery option can last for multiple days if you are careful about your usage.
Occasionally, a Bean will get loose! These are put up for sale on the Inventory Trailers page of our website. Subscribe to our newsletter for instant trailer releases or stop by our website from time to time to see if anything comes up.
Our Meaner Bean trailer is built to go off-road. It’s equipped with a Timbren Independent suspension, Max coupler hitch, off road tires and 17″ of ground clearance, so this gets the job done. We’ve thoroughly tested all of our models on rugged terrain.
Additionally, we use better materials for our cabin construction. The entire body is molded out of a one-piece fiberglass shell with 3/4″ Space Age composite insulation. This defends against leaks and increases longevity. We actually have a lifetime warranty on our roofline too!
Check out our individual trailer pages for specific specs.
We require $5,000 down upon ordering and the remaining amount when the trailer is completed. We do not offer in house financing, but we work closely with Rock Solid Financing and they will be more than happy to get you set up with financing.

Yes we do. We often post updates and trailer walk-throughs on our YouTube channel.
Yes. Keeping it simple is the name of the game. Our trailers are made of a one-piece fiberglass shell, this means any local boat service shop will be able to fix any damage to the trailer shell. Additionally, any RV repair shop should be able to take care of you for plumbing, heating, and suspension related issues.
Mounted on the optional roof rack system, Thule ProBars have a maximum load of 220lbs. dynamic weight. This can accommodate the iKamper Rooftop Tent and a filled Road Shower.
