[VAC] Air Conditioner retrofit
I started investigating putting in an AC unit in my 1961 Tradewind, I would
like to put it in the spot where the central heater used to be under the
sink. I accidently ran across an AC out of a truck camper, it was a through
the wall design similar to a smaller window unit. I would need to cut off
about 4 in. of the bottom plate and cover to make it fit. About all I would
have to move is the compressor slightly and reposition the front panel
controls. It is nice in that there is a plastic tray under the evaporator
coil with a tube to let it drain outside. My biggest concern is making sure
that there is enough air exit space for the condenser fan since I will have
to take some of the outlet for it when I cut off the side. Any suggestions
or opinions would be appreciated. Phil
