HIDDEN WINDOW UNIT install in my VINTAGE CAMPER

IT'S STILL HOT

In part 2 of this two part install, I'm cutting holes in the floor of my 1968 Play Mor and adding an exhaust duct for a window unit ac. Will it work? Be pretty COOL if it did...

😂It’s my camper, I’ll do what I want😂. That’s the spirit! Make it work for your needs. Always enjoy your videos and learn something!

As someone in the HVAC industry you did a great job, Thanks again

[denisebennett]

Brilliant work. They’re not mistakes, they’re adjustments.

Love the AC idea. I'm going to use it in a camper build myself. I have plans to elevate the unit and build it closer to the wall for the exhaust and make a little door to open whenever i need to use it. I was going to ask about the drain but reading your reply on the same question was good. Your channel is great! Thank you for taking the time to film it.

Great video! Thank you! I was trying to figure out how to install a window a/c by opening the floor rather than a window. you helped me immensely. I appreciate it.

Your channel is great. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers. Any chance you aren't including enough key words like reno, rehab, DIY, problem solving, design, how-to, tools, repairs, do it all.

I have a Scotty and installed AC under the bed. AC is extremely sensitive to airflow, much more than you'd think. Exhaust must be wide open, as large as the back of the unit. We have to keep the hatch open and have a small fan pulling in air, blowing toward the unit. It cools well though.
I also recommend one with electronic controls. Ours has a remote and it turns on periodically to test the air temp and shuts off if cool enough. Having these running all night long is really noisy in this small space.

Really like how you did it, thanks for sharing

I like your attitude. "I don't care, it's my camper.". That's how it should be. We all make mistakes and that's how we learn.

I am curious though. Since a year has gone by has there been any issues with the AC being somewhat enclosed. Any overheating issues, cooling issues etc, ? I don't know enough about window AC's to know how it differs from wide open space. Just curious about any input you might have since this time has passed. Thanks for sharing your build.

I did this to my 65 Shasta. It was under the Goucho bed. I would put a small fan under the dinette table and point it to the ceiling. It would circulate the cold air up and make it a lot better.

Man U r so cool.I❤ that b cute trailer!! So classic great job on camper perfect colors & wheels 👍 👍💯

Looking good. You won't know yourselves next time you camp in the heat. You'll be nice and cool. Our little caravan is 15 foot and has an airconditioner about the same size as yours and it cools that space really nicely in the heat. Thankfully here in South Australia it isn't generally a humid heat but it definitely gets hot, many days over the 100F during Summer so it's nice to be able to sleep well at night when camping.

You will find that an exaust fan will help a lot. Just a little box fan the size of the rear opening will do. Also you will want to put some 1/4 inch wire screen underneath to keep critters from trying to get up in there.

Just the information I needed!! Fantastic!

[justjefe]

So now that has been a year or so, how has it been? Do you have a problem with the water draining? I didn’t see you address that and I’m not sure if you got one of those “dripless trays“ where it sits and the compressor dries it up

[samgillum]

Very cool idea
The only question I have is what did you do with the condensation under the unit.
I know mine puts out over roughly 5 gallons a day
What keeps it from leaking all over the floor. Thanks great job

[AwakenedOnes]

If you didn’t tilt that air conditioner for the condensation you’re gonna grow mold and also it’ll leak and rot your floor!!!

[jaremyreavis]

What about adding a drain pan? Just in case it leaks or if the angle of the trailer is not completely level.

[NolaLolajean]

I have a pneumatic staple gun sitting in my closet brand new! Now I have reason to use yippee!!

[larrymangold]

Where does the condensation go? I didn't see a drain.
