The latest addition to my van camper is an idea I got from LenS in the Sportsmobile forum at: http://www.sportsmobileforum.com/forums/f24/one-in-a-blue-moon-a-c-4872.html
I made a wood frame to mount a small window air conditioner in the driver's side window opening. We use it at night to sleep during hot summer nights while camping at campsites with electricity. I picked up a new small window AC unit for under $100 and can store it and the wood window frame in the rear "basement" area under the bed of my camper. I am looking forward to using this when we travel south on vacations.
Outside view. I install the wood frame first, then install the AC unit which is held in place by three screws at the top. I added a support rod too, but the AC unit is so small I think the support rod in over-kill and not really needed.

Inside view. It is easily installed and removed with a few screws at the top.

Storage in rear "basement" under bed with wood frame behind AC unit while traveling.
