Are there any threads here with pictures on how you installed ac in a tear? I tried the search feature and didnt come up with much.

It really depends on the type of AC unit you have (petcool, 5000 BTU window shaker) and where you want to put the unit. Both types have been installed as a permanent fixture in the trailer and both types have been set on the ground and plumbed into the trailer. Here a few links that include photos of different installs.

wow lots of good info, thanks a ton!

That's a pretty comprehensive list Loader :thumbsup:

How can I bookmark that list that loader wrote, and how can I access the bookmarked list after it is bookmarked?

In Firefox you'd bookmark the page; right click then select "bookmark this page". It will be added to your list of bookmarks...

In IE you'd save the page as a "favorite"; right click then select "add to favorites".

Thanks Charlie!!! I added it to my favorites since I know how to use that. I didn't realize "favorites" would recognize the one page, I thought it would recognize the entire site!!! Thanks loads!

Here is my AC attempt as well.

It isn't finished yet, but still a work in progress.

Hello Everyone,

Here is my attempt to cool down my TTT here in Florida. So far we have been very successful.

At the beginning the AC could not keep up and the problem was the return volume was too little, because I covered the return and only had a 4 inch hole. I removed the cover and now works great at 90 plus temperatures.

Cheers,

do any of you have any issues with the bouncing of the trailer during transit breaking or shortening the life of the Ac unit??

I did not want to block the use of a door and wanted it detachable. I solved the problem of the return air by installing a bilge blower which works at less than half speed sufficiently.
