I've searched and read until my neck can't take anymore. I'm trying to iron down which route I will go with A/C for the 5x8 I'm starting. I'm down to these 3 options:
1. Window A/C setup like what Shadow Catcher did. Ducted in and out via 4" duct through marine deck plates. I've read the posts, but they are all fairly old. Has this method proven to work well? Pros are cost and can be left at home during cooler seasons. Cons are setup each time and ???
2. Window A/C installed completely inside the trailer in a cabinet compartment. Cross ventilation through the back of the compartment using 4" ducts and 120mm 12v fans. One blowing out and the other drawing in. Condensation pan and drain. Pros are that it would be easy to use and always ready. Also, cleaner look IMO. Biggest cons to me would be the potential for issues with the condensation draining and not leaking and whether the cross ventilation will be adequate to keep the unit from overheating.
3. ClimateRight CR-5000 Pros same as #1 Cost is biggest con.
Love to hear your thoughts and experience with any of these.
