I have a 5000 BTU window A/C that I bring along to the desert as an emergency spare.
I’ve tried it out, mounted in the dinette window, and it’s woefully inadequate.
I guess that’s why campers come with 9000 or more BTU A/Cs.
That's interesting!.I have a 5K BTU window unit that I put in my Lance 9.6 when it was hot out and I was working inside..It kept it right around 70 degree's with it 95 outside.I put it in the dinette window with a slight tilt for water drainage. It worked so well,I scrapped the idea of a noisy roof mount.
The 5K window unit is super quiet and my Honda generator just purrs along running it.It is really light to move around and does the job perfectly.I often wonder why they don't use them instead of the big noisy ones.
I put a new 13.5 Carrier Roof mount in my old Lance and it was so noisy and cycled all the time.I would never put a 13.5 back in a pickup camper.
