Did modify a small 6000 btu to fit in an RV a/C housing, he did cut and braze the refrigerant lines, but said the project could have been done without doing this
He did it for a very specific reason and purpose
To cool the forward master bedroom of his 5ver at night,
The power came from a huge AGM battery bank install in the bed of his volvo HDT, his favorite camp spots do not have electrical hookups
He would recharge the battery bank during the day via generator
That RV the 5ver was lost in a Fire and has since been replaced
If he ever did a second conversion, I do not know
He did Not use 12k window unit
Only the the 6k for cooling only the bedroom
You might look for him over on the Heavy Duty Tow
