My dad has an Airchamber for the RS500.
Works really well and good durable build quality.

Absolutely no idea.

The structure is supported by tent poles, so it doesn't need a fan to keep it inflated or anything.
However, there is a fan and it can be plugged in if required.

I'd imagine it costs pennies as its only a little fan.

Edit: My dad thinks he remembers reading its between £20-30 a year to run if its plugged in.

My friend had his car in a carcoon for a few years and it managed to keep it fresh as a daisy. I think they are cool.

The good thing with a carcoon is they keep the air moving so moisture can't settle. I've had a CB750/4 in one for about 15 years now.

Thats cool. Nice wheels too, but they're not BBS LM copies. They're more like BBS RS.
