Too bad they won't make them available for the US market. indel B, an Italian company is working on a 12 volt unit now - SW Cube - looks really nice!

indel B also makes a good 12 v fridge.

At one time I considered one of these:  http://www.americas-...onditioner.html

 

My plan was to remove the compressor unit from it's case and mount under the seat in my Grandby, vent it to the outside through a hole in the side of the floor pack (like turnbuckle holes), and pipe air tubes to each end of the camper. Unfortunately I never got to that project..maybe one of these days..

Thanks for the recommendations. I have to add air.ATC is renewing lift Panels and liner in a a month.They referred any window AC as a " shaker".I live in the high desert (ca).I'm a 7 hour drive and turning it Into a mini adventure, traveling the coast back.But I Need to figure out AC post haste.Im still considering climate air as you can quickly disconnect both 6" tubes? And no discharging of AC lines, which I prefer.Well thanks for suggestions and starting this topic.Happy Trails

YW - hope you fine your AC solution. I like the idea from Old & Soft - the "Dog House" AC - but I think the company would do well to redo their marketing strategy - I know only too well feeling like my camper (formerly a trailer) is a dog house :)

I never thought about one under the seat and ducting it out. Interesting idea. When I decide I need one I'll look into that more. I've been thinking about a ducted unit for my bedroom as it just doesn't cool down in the afternoon.

Hahhaha, just watched Jr from a far video link again......with the wife.Warning Navcom level 4!! She's already dreaming ...
Any who in regards to the "climate right", I am eyeballing the 8 btu/2200 cubic feet being my calculations are within 400 cf.It seems the " little guy" camp trailers really use them and now offer as an option from factory.A couple of testimonials at their rallies in some hot weather . I'm measuring my real estate today, and probably going to order.I love the fact that disconnect for trailer removal does not require discharge or hard line removal.Only to "twist" off 6" hose or quick disconnect.
Happy Trails

The Cool My Camper units are nothing more than what's called a mini-split A/C.  They're readily available in the U.S. made by other companies.  They're available from both Home Depot and Lowe's and can be installed by a DIYer.  

 

Here's a video of one installed on a small travel trailer, and I've attached a spec sheet from one manufacturer.

Makes me wonder where they live that its removing that much moisture. Interesting idea though I'm not sure how practical for a pop up.
