loud AC
anybody ever found a solution or alternative to the loud and oversize AC's they put in truck campers?

The fan on a regular AC unit is designed to push 15,000 btu of cooling. The Polar Cub unit is designed to push about 9,000 btu of cooling. That's a lot less air to move and a much smaller fan to do it. I think that will translate into quieter but always sound like a good rush of air considering it is mounted at head level.
BTU`S and CFM`S are two diffrent things
BTU`S is the ability to cool - heat
CFM is air changes , cubic feet per minute
Air movement is noisy the faster it is
Old cub `s CFM used to be 200 on high and 2 speed ,low was fairly quiet
Newer cub`s are now 300 CFM on high, and two speed
Most 13000 btu AC`s are usally about 320 CFM on high
When its hot you have to live with the noise or fry with non ducted AC
Some AC`s are three speed
Some high end TC`S have ducted AC- cuts the noise down alot
