New compact 5000 BTU air conditioner coming next spring

[mobeewan]

Hopefully in the next few months I'll be able to begin my enclosed utility trailer / mini camper conversion project. I haven't decided on a rooftop air conditioner or using a 5000 to 7000 BTU home window unit mounted on a sliding tray with a baggage hatch mounted to the side wall of the trailer to cover the opening when the tray in slid inside.

Then I came across a YouTube video for a new type of portable 5000 BTU air conditioning unit to be introduced next spring. Looks like it has interesting potential for the possible use in travel trailers as a supplemental air conditioning unit in lieu of a indoor upright portable. One could easily make an adapter so that the unit could be mounted through some existing travel trailer windows. It would require removal of the sliding accordian window filler sections and cutting out the adapters so that you could use the four screw holes of the basic frame portion to mount to the adapter.

For my use I could install a small baggage door, remove the accordion portion from the frame and mount the rest of the frame from the inside of the opening.

yep, nice looking but I bet it cost triple of a standard window unit.

I thought "eh" was a Canuck thing.

Those closer to the equator, I'd expect to make better air conditioners. They have more incentive.

But, tell us. Do you have an air conditioner in your camper? Is it US made, and which brand/model? Or were you just attacking Chinese manufactured one on general principal?

BTW, ITYM "hecho," not "Hencho." Although, that's not unexpected from someone who thinks LG (aka Lucky Goldstar) is from China, not Korea.

Then it sounds like your so called Chinese junk will just have to do until someone gets off their duff and does it better.

All good until I read it's going to be built by a Chinese company. I'll pass. We have enough LG junk here now, destroying American jobs.

Do you have a link to a US made , small A/C window unit? I am looking for one with very low power requirements but that is more a quest than a "must have".

Thanks for the heads up. Looks convenient and if they can get one to work vertically that might come in handy in my rig.

Will 5,000 do the job?
