given the choice of white noise v swamp ass.. I'll take the AC any day if I'm needing to avoid heatstroke.
If so, he could always put slides under it without increasing the total width.Lets hope the noise it makes wont drive you crazy !
I was wondering if you'd update it.BTW, updated the thread title for effect
The only time I've ever absolutely wanted AC while camping was when I was told we had to camp in Colorado Springs in July in a crowded RV park. After I squeezed the pop-up trailer between our neighbors, we huddled under the rooftop beast and enjoyed its cool, life giving blessings. The next night, we slept at 10,000' outside Leadville for free, and were much more comfortable - with no noise. "Why didn't we do this last night?" ?♀️I've seen these lil micro units on almost every DIY teardrop Ive checked out on the road.. usually sitting on the tongue, if I remember correctly one of the lil campers my dad had when I was a kid had a normal window unit hanging out the back with some steel water pipe supporting it off the bumper.. seems to make sense for a tiny space, not often you can win both cheap and effective in the same game.
When I was a teenager my parents took off for the Bayu for a few week car camping expo, they came back with a window unit in the trunk.. apparently nobody could sleep at night it was so hot and muggy so they bought a cheap AC and put it inside their coleman tent.. They raved about how great their airconditioned tent was and I thought they were loonies, but now I'm old and looking back it seems brilliant, they didnt pay for any of the power at normal camps heh.
So I did what I never thought Id ever do....
Blew a big hole in the wall of the camper
Coming along nicely.
Hole saw from the inside used for the initial penetration.
Then flush trim bit, followed by 1/2" roundover bit.
The top was done freehand using the router bit(s) in the die grinder as the roof lip created interference.
test fit....
This side wall will house the additional cool air intake vent. Fingers crossed its enough.
And pushing to epoxy. First coat down.
Next coat will include glass cloth to marry all joints.
