I would put a mini in my RV in a heartbeat if I had room for the inside unit. However they are expensive to install properly. I have 3 in my house and have about $800 worth of tools for installing them.
A $99 window ac is likely going to be a 5000 btu unit, too small for most RV's. When I added one to my 21 foot Toyota I found that 8000 btu was the minimum. Although there was a 7100 btu available from the factory when new. No room over fridge or I would have put mine there, it has been done numerous times.
Some can get very creative!
Not expensive at hall. If you go on YouTube and type in "split mini AC install in trailer" or "split mini AC install in schoolie" there are many do-it-yourself installations in travel trailers, enclosed utility camper builds and school bus to RV conversions. There are even videos that show DYI installation homes.
