Ok, hopefully some of the people that were attentive to my VEGAS TO RENO thread are reading this and have some suggestions, or better yet, step-by-step instructions for a half retarded college student here (shouldn't say that since my major is special education) ANYWAY!!!
So we found a camper! The truck and the camper are currently at the camper owner's residence in Riverside, california being joined together and a few repairs/modifications are being made to suit my needs. Its a quite roomy camper for its size, I'm very happy with it. Now here is the issue:
I am not concerned about this at the time since the first trip I'll be making is going to require ample blankets more than A/C, however, I will be storm chasing in Arizona come next summer, and I am definately going to need A/C in this unit. My dad has figured that its going to have to be a 5000 btu or less window unit, I've found these to be under $100, new and even less used or, new out of the box. My question is; has anyone ever experienced installing one of these in a cabover and do they have any tips or hints or suggestions that might make the installation easier and the overall finished project extra sturdy? Should we cut a hole in the side of the camper and do a wall install, or just use an already existing window (if size permits)?
Keep me posted people! Great forum ya got here!
