I have a pop up truck camper and want AC. I do not want a roof AC for several reasons, though I have one sitting in the garage from a wrecked RV.
I am looking at window units, but rather not have to hang it out and I cannot mount it hanging out as I often tow a cargo trailer that would hit it in the turns.
I was thinking maybe mount it inside in the rear corner at a diagonal and vent it at the side and back of the camper. Maybe i could remove some of the exterior of the AC unit to help it breath, but either way I still have to vent the cool air into the cabin (and seal it as it would if in window).
I am seeing the portable units that you can get at big box stores. Seems they use vent tubes to use outside air for cooling the fins. This might be an option and might even work as portable, something I do not have to take on every trip.
I do not mind mounting it permanent.
I am looking for the best solution to cool the camper. I have never seen a portable unit in action, and the stores do not have them displayed this time of year.
Anyone fabricated something like this?
