Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

skooter69 wrote:Fireman,

Curious if you ever considered putting the air conditioning unit permanently inside? I have a similar setup and mounted it inside with a large vent out the back for exhaust and a tube through the floor to feed the intake vents on top/sides of unit. Exhaust and side intakes are sealed off separately from the front face so ambient room air is drawn through the front vents.

When I started my build a few years ago I toyed with this idea, but couldn’t find many “for sure” examples that it worked. I knew I didn’t want the AC permanently sticking out the trailer, so this was my in between idea. I special ordered my trailer with the cargo door for this reason. If I ever did it again I may do something like your set up. The question is does it work good? What size AC and trailer do u have?

Cross member
I see an obvious advantage for 16 O.C. studs but I don’t see much about floor and roof cross member spacing adequate for light toy hauler conversions or is there a significant advantage to upgrading to 16”O.C.? I assume floor is more important than roof as I will not be doing any AC.

Thanks.
