I am looking at building either a CH650 or 750 Cruzer. At KAPA here in centennial (Denver) it’s not unheard of to bake in line for takeoff for 30 minutes in 100 degree afternoon heat. I would like to put a zero breeze air conditioner in the baggage area, which requires 10 amps at 24V. I have not yet looked into plumbing the condensate drain and air exhaust but those seem easily solvable. It is a modest air conditioner but only weights 17lbs and the cabin is quite small in both of these airplanes.

I would like to use the vertical power VP-X, however it does not have any 20A breakers (it’s 14V so I need 20 amps), only up to 15A, but it does have two 10A breakers. My question is could I combine two 10a in place of one 20amp, or is that a bad idea?
