anyone ever use a portable AC in their RV?
I've seen a few threads about portables. You mean free standers with temporary window ducts, right?
Do you want to give up the space, storage, and arrange the window vents? I personally would not.
Also remember, RV A/C units are maxed out "window" units in the sense that they produce much more BTU and still run on 110-volts, than home window units do. This means a portable could be 6000-btu while the smallest RV rooftop is 8000 or more. The common size is what you have now, 13500.
And... RV's are very poorly insulated. A 5000 btu window shaker might cool a room in your house but not your RV even with the same square footage.
