One other option I also looking into (just an added FYI) is gutting a standard 13500BTU roof unit and replacing the internals with a compressor from a 5000BTU unit so I can keep running my little generator for my small camper. A very trusted AC tech told me that was very possible.... but I stuck with a wall unit simply because I didn't have time, tools, and parts on my side once I crossed the mexican border heading south!
After doing my due dilligence and deciding that the 11k roof air was too big and noisy and that an 8K duct taped and bailing wired to my rig was adequate. I searched the web and found an article on converting a roof AC carcass to window ac!
I obtained a non working roof air and went at it. I did not have enough resources to pull it off and ran out of time. Access to a sheet metal brake and another brand of Window AC and I might have pulled it off!
Won't let me post link? https://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/21943313/print/true.cfm
