A/C mod
This is a shot in the dark but I’m thinking of ‘gutting’ a 5000 btu unit and remounting it into a rooftop frame. Anybody ever tried it?

Thanks mrwizard. It’s good to see there is still reason and common sense on this forum. I just want to cool the bedroom enough to get the temps bumped down a little after driving. Sometimes it takes too long at night for the outside ambient temperature to cool it enough to sleep in. It also needs to be a small enough amp draw that it can be used with a small gen and preferably supported by solar. I only have one small window in the bedroom, on the curb side, that I could install a/c and I don’t think it’s smart to ride
down the road with it sticking out. The front is rounded and there are cabinets over the bed so it would require the unit to be about 8 inches over the bed. That doesn’t seem practical. I’m looking at dc powered units but placement is still an issue. So, if someone that is reasonable has enough common sense to offer a better idea I’m all in.
