I think 5000 btu's is a little small. The big box stores sell 10,000-12,000 portable units for about the same money, maybe less.

Agree. Less $$ (for whatever the desired btu).
Two hoses (to set up and take down) are a PITA.
Portable units - (many brands available) - drawbacks: It's inside. You must run an exhaust (hot air) hose to the outside from a window (or?).
Bonus: Use it in your "sticks and bricks" if you desire (as above).
Bottom line - Tough to beat a roof top A/C. For "portables" this one is *not* a good solution. (Neither is a mini-split).
~- That 10,000 btu Climate-Right sure would help out a hot TT in the summer.

what do you mean by connect and disconnect?

He posted that he was planning to take the compressor in his truck, so he would have to disconnect the unit. It looks like it is design to pressurize and depressurize when you turn it off, allowing you to disconnect the compressor from the split unit.
I did read the reviews after I did the post. Not too encouraging...- what do you mean by connect and disconnect?

I have read that these do not fare well with the bumps and bangs of going down the road. Ok for a house but not for an rv, they stop working and the mfr is no help.
There are other brands that will hold up to the pounding when mounted on a trailer tongue. I just got a RolliCool mini split, but I plan to leave it unmounted and carry it in the back of my suv while towing.
