Mini-Split AC for TC

Sounds like a bad rap song huh?

anyway, getting ready for a trip out west, really looking into installing a Mini-split AC/Heat pump system on my truck camper. It's cheaper and i can bypass all the electrical since i found one that is 110v.

Anybody done this?

    Are you thinking of hanging it bellow the side overhang of the camper? How would you clear the dual fenders unless it was behind the axle next to the rear skirt? Mounting it on a side wall will probably put you over the maximum width.

    Not sure what you mean by this statement?????

    What i'm worried about is the compressor coils. I would have to mount it with some type of vibration dampeners.

    i have room, but i would lose a cabinet.
