I prefer and recommend signing up with one of the many on line hosts, many free, but this app by member 1492 is simple for quick picture posting on RV.Net.

So I bought a ac unit for okanagan truck camper. Right now it's got the fantastic fan over the bed were a fantastic fan is installed. Now what I'm wondering is if I should move the fantastic into the bathroom and replace that one or should I cut up a new hole in the main area. Any tips appreciated!

Not sure why you think you need a AC in a camper. A Fantastic Fan will do the trick if you only have it and one window, or other vent partly open, Draft...or negative pressure. We ordered our camper with out an AC for the simple fact that every other RV we had we only started the AC to ensure it ran and worked properly.... once per year. Their weather where we live and “mostly” camp regularly runs in the mid to high 30’s in July and August. Sure... the air inside the camper isn’t cold/ cool. But a little breeze going by is usually enough to keep you cool. I worked 40 years in a Smelter with Molten Metal, and I hate heat. Regularly stepping out of the control room in the summer it would be 55c, it was freaking hot! However because of all the work I did over the years I have found a simple fan and one other opening open slightly is enough to keep you cool. My suggestion would be to buy a new fantastic fan with remote control and replace your old one. Then at night you can adjust fan speed to the temp, and wind speed you want.

Not sure the best way to add an additional support. TC roofs don't give you much to work with. I am thinking without seeing what you have I would probably try to brace the existing opening from the inside.

It has the foam pads still but the weight is still pushing down

I do not know how to post pictures. The reason I ask is because it is possible for the rear of the AC unit to droop if the foam pads that hold it off the roof on the rear are missing depending on the unit.

The rear of the ac looks like it's sagging the roof down a bit from the weight of the unit. I'll climb up there later and snag a pic. What's the best way to post them now?

The roof is sagging or the rear of the AC is drooping?

After a few weeks of driving around I've noticed the rear of the ac sagging a bit. I stuck it in the proper spot mid camper where the factory had the cross pieces. Should I be adding another brace to the rear of the unit?
