Thanks for eyeballing that.
The piece of temporary OSB is a baffle to separate the hot exhaust air from the intake air. It's not blocking anything.
You're making me feel bad... I didn't want to cut that hole in the side... I really didn't... But I tried everything else and nothing worked. So I went back to the system I had on the Baja Benroy. That hole will be covered with a grate (did I spell that right?) that is painted the color of the birch.
Anyways, the AC has been running since about 4:30 (1.5 hours) and it's not overheating yet.
So my plan is to make a baffle out of aluminum to place where that osb baffle is now. Perhaps make a box out of wood for the inside, and then put the ac front back on.
There may be a little exhaust coming out the side, but the majority of it will be coming out the top. The galley wall sure gets warm though!
Anyways, as it is now, the air comes in thru the hole in the wall, over the condensor, and out the exhaust.
Mike...
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...
