I went a different route and installed a 5,000 BTU window unit. Flush outside. Bulk inside used as a night stand table base. Galvanized tray condensation drain and found a louvered plate to cover the hole. Used 2X2 ash for the structure.
At night, the door to the rest of the rig stays closed. Main AC off. The window unit keeps the bedroom cooler and much lower humidity than the TWO rooftop airs ever did. I set the AC on "Low Cool" which is the same speed for the compressor but slower air speed. I lost 13% relative humidity versus the 2 roof airs, 54% versus 41%.
I have a plug-in 15% voltage booster for the bedroom unit. When others are swearing and sweating because voltage is too low I am snoring.
