13" Scamp Window A/C unit that fits...

[Michaelred73]

I have a 96 13' Scamp and have been reading and looking like crazy on ways to install A/C. The last thing I want to do is cut a hole in the fiberglass (closet method) because I won't need A/C that much. What I was looking to do was have a window setup that I can take out and put in easily.. The problem I am facing is that the back window only opens to 17". I cannot find a window unit anywhere that is small enough to fit. Anyone know of a small window unit that would fit? Thanks

Search for a Frigidaire FRA052XT7 5,000 BTU. 13x16x12" I've have seen others use it.

I'm in the same position as you and considering what to do. I hope it works out well.

Many people have installed a AC unit without cutting a hole in the fiberglass. In our case we cut holes through the floor. Just another consideration.

I have not figured how to vent through the floor of the closet of a scamp 13' without venting into the wheel well which seems undesirable. Am I missing something? Are their links or pictures I have missed? I have considered putting it under the center of the front couch and vent out the bottom of the trailer, but then I have to deal with more weight on the tongue. Advice is welcome.

honda03842 posted above you. Check his thread for his floor venting solution.
I also just started a thread on my renovation, I opted to vent thru BOTH the floor and the outside wall. A happy medium for me, not to many visible vents on the outside, yet I'm not relying solely on a 2 small vents underneath for both exhaust and hot air.
Cutting the fiberglass is very easy. Just make sure you have the proper vents on hand so your cuts are the proper size the first time around!

Fridgidaire makes a unit which produces 5000btu, weighs 32lbs, and is less than 16" wide by 12" tall...
