I'm putting a small window unit in my Scamps closet right now.

But if your roof will support a roof unit, that's probably easier.

Do you know if a 13 foot 74 Boler can support an ac unit?
Have you heard of Bolers with roof ac?
Thanks.

They make small air conditioners with hardware somewhat like that setup.

Check out the 98 Scamp for sale listing. They have a air conditioner like the one I just posted about. It is set up in the bathroom on that one.

you know,,, i have not looked at one close up,, but i wonder if you could do something with one of those free standing room air conditioners?maybe just set it somewhere in the trailer? or maybe just set out side aimed at the door would do it?

That's not portable in my book.

The 5000 BTU window unit I have is 36lbs I think? And I'd bet a fraction of the size of that "portable". I'd put a box around one of those small units instead if you don't have the room for a permanent install.

But the price is good and capacity is great, if you think managing 90 lbs of big ol' AC unit is not a problem.

I agree. I was just trying to show another example of what I was suggesting. We also don't need a 10,000 btu unit for our little eggs. There are smaller lighter ones available.

Hi Dylanear,
When it's hot out and I want to be cool, 90 lbs is nothing!
I was just getting to post that exact air conditioner on this thread. They are not as efficient as the window type.
By portable, they are on wheels to move from room to room, or place to place in a camper.
I like your idea of placing a small unit in a closet though. Probably less expensive and more permanent/better looking.
Have a great weekend!

I hear ya, just pointing out the bulk and weight compared to other options, a big "portable" would be a huge use of space in my little 13. Wouldn't want anyone surprised when the UPS truck arrived with a BIG, HEAVY box.

Far from my idea, a trick I learned of on here from the many helpful souls who've done it in the past.
