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. I picked up a used one from Craigslist (12,000 btu) about a year old for $175. Used it in a pop up and it did great. I keep one around the house and you would be supprised how many times it gets used an an emergency during the summer when a friend or relative has their central unit quit. My brother in law used it for two weeks while his CH&A was being replaced. I think they are pretty handy if you live in a really hot climate.
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).
