Putting AC in the door

[LWW]

Wow the 6 wide and the swingout stand is neat. Still thinking and looking at all the ideas. They all look like good ones too. Larryw

Thanks, It works good too I put a small, short rope on the pipe and when I climb into the trailer I close the door and pull on the string. It draws the AC unit up close to the window. The Unit is just one of those cheapie $99 walmart units, 5000 btu that hardly keeps up in a bedroom but it worked well in the mall cab of our little guy on our 12,000 mile USA loop last year. hit a lot of 100 degree weather from Wyoming to Arizona. Started the AC ahead of time and was frosty by the time we climbed inside. We're from Maine so frosty is what we're used to. 100 degrees... bad.

Curtains in the window keeps the cold air off your shoulders, disperses it. If you can find one I'd recommend a remote control. We don't have one so I have to open the door to adjust the thermostat on the AC. It's not easy to find small cheap AC units with remotes.

This is what I did, a variation of Shadows install.
I purchased a cutting board at a local Walmart, and drilled a 4 inch hole for the hose,. Then installed a 4 inch coupler and drilled two holes on the side and inserted two long screws with washers to secure the board to the trailer. WHat I like is that is not a permanent installation and no holes were drilled.


Cheers,
