4"return duct runs across bottom of blanket storage.

Side view of unit hooked up and running

Image

Duct openings are supply on top return on bottom black outlet in between is low voltage connection.

Image



1"id square tube welded to frame.

Image

1" od square slides in to support ac unit.

Image

Closed up and ready for travel.

A view of the unit outlets top is supply bottom center return air bottom right is outside air. In the cabinet i installed a 12 volt relay to control A C unit
wired fan to turn off with compressor, might install another relay later to allow fan to run alone. Oh by the way it works great, used last week.

Some days all you can do is smile and wait for some kind soul to come along and pull your ass out the bind you've gotten yourself into.

That's a nice departure from the other ducted installations. :thumbsup:
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

I'm confused:

Is that an extra enclosure that covers the entire unit?

And how do you adjust the settings?

I still don't get it:

Aren't the unit controls exposed to the elements? They face the tongue, right? Not the cabin?

Or is was this not a window shaker to begin with?

My limited mind sees manual knobs and buttons, but I don't see them on the unit.

----------------

Edit:

Wait. I think I figured it out. Takes me long, because I'm a retard.

This was a window shaker, the on-unit controls face the CABIN, but are protected from the elements by your new enclosure.

Duh???
