That's pretty cool to see that "pile O lumber on a trailer" in the last pic, turned into a cool little camper. Great Job :thumbsup:

How is the AC working out. Did you modify the unit yourself?

ive been testing it in the driveway running off an extension and the generator and its works well on both. On 100 degree day it was able to keep the trailer interior in the 80s. Although that doesn't seem low it was very cool in the camper every time i went in there. There were no modifications made to the unit itself. this is exactly how it came from climateright. the only thing that you see on top are strut channels to secure during travel and from would be thieves. they were just cut to size and rest on top then have the connected thread rods.

Have you any interior blowers to help the cool air flow? If you can isolate the Climateright from external heat, it will help; put a shade over the unit, and a partition between generator and A/C unit. And, cover the top of your trailer with another shade, canopy, or tarp, leaving an airspace between them. Any or all of these steps will help cool it.
