Got the awning up this weekend and the AC in the week before that. Thanks to everyone for advice and encouragement.

The AC works pretty good. It was 80 when I fired it up the first time. It got the CTC down to 72 pretty quick. As the day wore on it got up to mid 90's and the best I could do then was 78. Since pretty much all we will do in the CTC is sleep we should do okay. Yea, I love the duct tape. At some point I will go back and finish it off a little better. Just wanted to see how well it was going to work. I do have the hot exhaust isolated with insulation on the inside of the enclosure.

:applause: That'll work. 46 days to Sturgis and counting down. That looks just about like my trailer the first year I took it.
Still better than a tent. :thumbsup: Not sure where I'll be this year, but maybe we can hook up for a whiskey and a cigar. Thinkin about staying at "Kickstands". Went there last year to see Black Oak Arkansas and it was a great venue so I may try the camping.

We get into the Custer State Park campground on Aug 5th. My sister-in-law brought back a box of Cuban cigars from Havana. I will have to remember to bring them. Could be a good time to enjoy one.
