[VAC] Re: Creative air conditioning Installation
Honestly, there is nothing sacred about the aluminum skin of a trailer
although I admit that the first cut is the hardest. After that no
problem. I used a Dremel cutting tool (actually the Sears Craftsman
brand but same thing) and cut with #953088 cut off wheel. Remember you
have outside and inside skin to cut. Measure and mark your cut lines on
the outside and then drill a hole thru to the inside and you can lined
up your cut.. Practice on some scrap alumininum to get a feel for the
tool. You will use one of these cut-off wheels about every 8 inches so
get a few. You can break them easily until you get the hang of it.
