Interesting way to air condition an Airstream

It's in a left turn only lane. Maybe the picture was taken during the "off" portion of the blink.

I've seen a few mini split installs over the years. Most people who do install one seem to be pretty happy with it's performance. They cool down the trailer just as well, but when running they're almost silent. If there was a condenser unit that was designed the lay flat vs upright then you could install that piece on the roof instead of on the tongue or back bumper.

Most of the mini-splits I found while shopping, were 240V. Although, they do make 120V units.

FWIW, this year, I'll be installing a window unit. With my super-insulated trailer, I'll be trying to install a 120V window unit with the lowest possible electrical draw. Phase II of my solar system will be sized to run the AC for a few hours.

I bet it cools awesome compared to most RV air conditioners.
Nothing odd about that.

with the advertising on the back window, i would guess it is used as a business or information center. where the door may be opened often. thus requiring a larger ac unit...

Looks far better than some home brews.
