Replacing glass in a solid window on a trailer ?

Thanks! It was supposed to be a prototype (I used material I had around the house) but it worked so well I thought I should leave well enough alone.

The Honda really loves a small a/c and it never even burped when the compressor came on.

As I said earlier, I used corrugated plastic with the clips to hold it inside the emergency window. This is not a permanent setup and was never intended to be. I was able to set up and take down in less than a few minutes.



On the outside, the shelf was made from a piece of board and a metal rail than simply hung on the edge of the window frame. To keep the window from leaning on the a/c and creating vibration I used the long handle that holds the window open to prop the window open over the a/c.



The a/c never caused vibration, ran on low fan speed, and did a wonderful job of cooling.



My current trailer has the same emergency window but it is in a bedroom slideout. Sounds good but the a/c caused the slide to vibrate creating quite a bit of noise.

I guess I should pursue a solution. I have never used the roof air. I consider it a boat anchor that won't run off of my Honda 2000 and turns the trailer into an icebox not to mention the fan noise and overall vibration.

I'm thinking of going to a high-wall or minisplit.

I hope you find this helpful. Any questions feel free to ask.

I'll overlook you always smart remarks.

Seeing that it is an emergency window, you just push and everthing would fall to the outside.

Keep racking up posts my friend, you'll comment on anything.

so you don't think that one needs to construct this with the idea that it might need to be kicked/pushed/etc. out in case of an emergency. that is not a "smart" remark.

Dude, go take your Metamucil. You're getting a little bound up........

It was obvious to me that you wrote it as sarcasm, so I ignored it since I was looking for someone who had done it.
If you can't add anything helpful you might want to refrain from posting.

so you don't think that reminding somebody of a potential issue is helpful. if not you are not very helpful and could refrain yourself.

This 5000 btu a/c kept the 18ft TT completely cool and ran off of the Honda 2000 on economy mode for up to 14 hours over night.

That is exactly what I want to do.
Did you remove the entire frame and start from scratch?

Guy

I have pics. I tried to post last night but both Woodalls and Rv.net wouldn't let me.

I'll try again later today.
