modifying fiberglass?

Hello again,

I have found a 1995 Bigfoot that they are offering for 6700$

It does not have AC. I love the 2 piece molded fiberglass, but I am wondering if it is a good idea to make modifications like adding AC.

I had also thought about perhaps switching to a composting toilet in the future because I have heard they are great for boondocking.

Seems scary to cut into the fiberglass frame. Do people do that? If not, I will probably keep looking as I would like to be able to take my mom and her dogs on trips so having AC is a survival thing for the dogs if we are out during the day.

    The air conditioner will replace an existing roof vent. The roof vent opening and the opening needed for the AC are the same size. The camper may also be "pre-wired" for AC, meaning the Romex (for the 110v) and the thermostat wiring may already be in the ceiling of the camper, making the install easier.

    In short, it's not generally a big deal to add an air conditioner to an RV that doesn't have one already.
