I got lucky and found a brand new Danby 5100 for $50, and installed it in its own duct system, but it really struggles once the temps get over 95F.

I looked up a "Danbi5100" and it appears to be a window unit (of which I have 2 similar nearly-new units). My truck camper is pretty tall already, and adding another 18" and cobbing together some sort of way to tie it into the 14" square hole in the top (on which the roof unit is currently installed) doesn't sound like a really good plan.
To be honest. mounting it in the wall at the rear through an enlarged window opening Picture Link sounds preferable, though I really don't want to butcher my back wall, either, unless I could somehow make it interchangeable with an attractive rear-window for non-summer use.
I wish there were a similar unit made in a low-profile ceiling configuration, though the probable low volume of sales would make it uneconomical to manufacture, I guess.
