[VAC] Re: While on subject of A/C's.....



Ken - went thru the same thing when putting a/c in my 55 safari (ended
up putting it on the floor under a dinette seat with an exhaust duct
thru the floor) - your idea of running a duct into the trailer will
probably work IF the unit has a large enough BTU rating - the window
type units i looked at pulled cooled air back into the front of the
unit thru a grid and filter on the front of the a/c (it recirculated
the cooled air) - with a unit completely outside the trailer pulling
ambient air back into the unit i think cooling capacity would be
reduced - with 100 + temps i think it would take one helluva a/c unit
to make you comfortable - but sitting the thing outside would solve any
interior noise and condensate drainage problems and eliminate the need
chop holes in your "baby"                     Good Luck - Ray Plumlee
