I would be concerned about the added heat load to the camper. Along with leaving the access door open, you may need a fan to force some air movement. I would also caution you on draining the condensate to the sink drain. That is going to add quite a bit of water to your grey water tank. If you camp in a hot humid place without full hookups, that could be a problem.
You may be onto something, keep us updated as to what you find.
It's amazing how much condensate an air/con unit can create.
We had a 12k btu unit on our boat and the drain plug got blocked so it went into the bilge. I noticed it about a day after last checking the bilge (which is normally dry). Used the shop vac to get around 25gal of water out of the bilge.
Adding a support on the rear is likely a much better option (don't bolt it to the paper thin bumper). I've seen a few of those done. It doesn't look bad. It's easy to access for cleaning and doesn't eat up storage space. Plus your gear can remain locked in the storage compartment.
