HACKED AC UNIT FAIL
In "Deceivers" thread about AC hacking, I mentioned a problem I think I had for my "hacked AC". If you recall, this is what I tried to make work.
(Deceiver's thread http://tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=6 ... r&start=60)
It was not cooling my trailer enough and I had freeze up of the coils, so I add 120V fans to each duct. That helped some, but not perfect.
During a TJ camping trip to Fort Chiswell, several weeks ago, while it did work, it just would not get the CT cool enough for my wife's and my liking.
Then right after we returned home, my wife developed a serious cough and her chest hurt. The doctor hinted that our unit could be a culprit because of mold, mildew and what not. I did not buy that, but I am not a doctor of course. Lynn's lung issue is still there and is being treated with steroids and antibiotics and is getting better.
But her health is paramount and I decided to go back to basics and eliminate any possibility for future issues. Lynn's lungs have always been susceptible to issues.
I tore apart my AC hacked unit and found no mold or mildew, but did find way too much "bad stuff" for our liking. This is stuff, along with bugs, that came into the back part of the unit while sitting on the ground.
So I scrapped this whole effort, rebuilt my 5000 BTU window unit and mounted it in the false back wall ahead of the barn door.
Almost immediately the cooling effectiveness worked much better then before (go figure). I will just have to leave the left side back barn door open enough for the air to circulate around the back cooling fins.
Notice the foam layed wall section. The glues held the foam very well to the thin out wall sections. I am impressed with this process.
