Portable a/c unit?
Is anyone here using a portable a/c unit in their rig? Looking for advice and recommendations for a quality unit.

Seems like a lot of people don't understand this but.....a single hose unit is just a cruel joke.
The air that is heated in the unit and blown out through the hose has to come IN from somewhere. Stop and think about that for a minute.
When it is hot outside, then hot air is sucked in through small cracks and crevices all over the RV....or house if used in a house.
That air coming IN means that your over effective cooling can be pretty close to NILL. That is NOTHING.
If you really want to do this and want something that is really effective, get a double hose unit. Otherwise you will just be wasting your money. A single hose unit likely will spot cool one small area.....at the expense of making the whole rest of the interior less cool.
