Rob's 1973 Love Bug Rebuild

Borrego Dave - The sunshade was a Coleman 13'x13' found at Costco I believe. It is big enough to sit over the full trailer for shade or can provide a nice covered patio.

Markz--I have used the ac as it was setup when I bought it. It sits in the closet. It exhausts through a hole by the front door. It draws through the front and sides of the unit (within the camper). In practice, I try and keep a window vented to draw. I am curious about how others handle this with non-window units. Mine is a 5,000 btu Haier Commercial Comfort unit that runs on the small generator I carry with, when needed. This is an arrangement that works albeit likely inefficiently, so I am open to suggestions on how better to handle this function. I would love to get the closet space back.

Ours is hidden in the closet and works well. If you are looking to free up closet space, some owners have successfully installed mini-split air conditioning units in theirs and the ClimateRight company makes a unit that ducts into the camper and can be mounted on the tongue.

Remember to paint the wrought iron twin cupboard supports white. They blend in and almost vanish. Don`t know why they came painted black!!!

I wrapped those supports in a black electrical wiring conduit. It gives it a really nice look. Will attache a photo when I am near the unit.
