I did not either but the marine deck ports are easy and water proof.

The big advantage to this is it can be left at home and was cheap to set up.

While I agree Shadow Catcher has the best low cost solution but, can also tell you the following.

An "INVERTER - WITH HEAT PUMP would work from -5 to 118F heating and cooling. It could run on a pure sine 1000 watt honda generator & a 1,000 watt PSW morning star inverter and it can effectively heat or cool an area as small as 100 cubic feet. 5 X 6 x 3ft . It can be operated with a few solar panels and my system on a 7 x 18 trailer averages 165 watts @85F exterior cooling the interior to 72F. At 100 F exterior it climbs to about 250 watts per hour.

So there are many other factors to consider, shadow catchers system is great cooling only between 75-100F. The mini split does heating & cooling -5F to 115F using very little energy.
