I've never heard of anything like that.
Actually when I got my first MH I took off that decal and the manuf decal cause it looked tacky to me!

I think that campground application is similar to the 10 year old rule. if a piece of junk driven by Jed Clampett shows up that they don't want in their campground, check for decal, etc.

I've seen one gate guard living down in Texas reporting that he uses one of those portables as a second a/c unit in his Trailer. Seems to think it works well. I seem to recall that it accumulates water in a pan at the bottom of the unit that you have to deal with.

I saw one in a CG in Cody, WY. It was a big utility trailer. The front half was living quarters and the back half was for a small car. Or even two, but they only had one. The back wall was the ramp for loading the cars. They were towing it with a semi tractor.
As long as it was, I'd think their choice of CGs would be limited.

I really like the idea of "stealth" campers. That's a nice re-make there. But I don't see an air-conditioner ... and this "camper" originated in Florida! oh boy ... I think I'd be sleeping in the truck with the air conditioner running!

Isn't that a floor A/C in the last picture?

Had no clue that was an air-conditioner. I've never seen one like that before.

Lowes sells them. They are residential portable air con. I looked into them for my winter home. Everyone says they work great. You can vent them thru a window with a window adaptor.

lots of small popups etc. use portapotties. but the shower is probably for stopping at campgrounds.

I did a conversion like this a few years ago. It was not as professional looking as the OPs. It was a fun project, but like most of my fun (and expensive) projects, I just use them for a while then sell them for nothing and start something else.

I documented the project here:

Yes, it has A/C. $7500.

From the listing:

Sleep in comfort or work in your portable office. Solar panel on the roof, battery bank on the tongue and a 6000 watt power invertor, under - counter refrigerator/ freezer, Diamond Plate backsplash. Microwave oven, Stainless steel sink, hot water heater. This little trailer has it all! Flat screen wall mounted HD TV, futon couch/ bed, fold down table/ desk, 8,000BTU ac, 12volt, 110v & USB plugs. Everything in like new condition.
