Jason,

Because of the high humidity in the Gulf Coast I suggest you keep looking at the aluminum frame campers. The wood frames don't last nearly as long under normal conditions, add water and their useful life decreases even faster. Of course if you are buying used and get a great deal, that's different.

As you probably know, a swamp cooler is going to add humidity whereas a refrigeration unit will lower humidity.

Isn't there a company in Colorado making aluminum frame pop-ups?

Enjoy,

We live in Houston, so we know what you are describing. We had an F-150, a Hawk, a side window A/C unit, generator, and occasionally towed a single axle trailer. Our problem was brakes, as well as springs. That problem (PLUS springs) was fixed by upgrading to an F250. Can't beat the capacity, and the mileage penalty works out to 1/2 mpg.

To see our A/C design, browse the forum.
