[VAC] Re: Portable air conditioner

A roof Ac can be mounted on the roof of old coaches. It should be placed 
slightly forward of the axles. Wiring and a drain line must be added. 
Mounting a portable in a window is OK if don't move the trailer. A portable 
will subtract tongue weight, and mounting it in front will add tongue weight. 
Mounting on either side makes the coach to wide to legally tow. Some owners 
of vintage trailers are looking for window frames. These frame were taken off 
so a window unit could be mounted. But now that the second or who knows how 
many owners that previously owned that trailer, no longer own it, then the 
question is "who has those frames?"  Those frames are history. Additionally 
mounting a portable in the front or rear window requires support brackets 
that must be attached to the front or rear plate (the aluminum plate below 
the window) and those do not provide the structure for mounting AC brackets. 
End result with portables, is not good.    Andy
