How To Install Portable AC in Pop Up Camper
Can mod the single hose A/C to a dual hose. Just depends on what model you get though.
I think this is a great way to add a/c to the pop up! Thank you!
💯 same problem
Do you have a link to the deck hatch?
Nice, I'm glad it works for you! Its a great fit! Only thing is that not all pop up tent trailers have small rectangular zipper windows like yours have, unfortunately.
I don't believe you said what BTU ac you used?
Thanks, that's a good idea. Although your trailer has a nice narrow wall section. Are window units are waterproof enough to be installed like this? I just never owned a window AC
Thanks fro your video. I have been wanting to put my vent out the window , but my windows are the type that open like a door upwards. And I don't think I would be able to put it there. But I will do it like this.
What do you use to power the 10k ac? If a generator inverter how big?
Excellent idea-using it for our poolside shower when the kids get out -thanks a million- plus who doesn’t have a broken shade frame-ingenious
Is rain an issue? I love this. Ur videos r so informative. I’ll keep watching. We’re 2 days into our 2004 coachman clipper sport 107. Loving it. Thank you so much for all ur ingenuity.
I want to do this, I only have 25" clearance when the beds are pushed in. How do you transport it from place to place? I could only fit it with the beds pulled out
Hey there! Wanting to do something similar to this with our popup, and have a couple questions. Why did you decide to place the mounting brackets and AC unit in that particular spot? I think personally I’d prefer to have ours on the other side of the camper but wanted to make sure there wasn’t a specific reason the spot you used might be best. Also, have you noticed if the weight of the AC unit pulls the roof out of alignment at all? For our camper, if it is just a little unlevel our door has a hard time opening/closing and don’t want something like this to make that harder. Thanks!
Portable AC units are NOISY!
They all make some kind of noise. All ac units make noise. You invent a non noisy ac unit bro & we all will buy from you!😉
I'm just going to take out my useless refrigerator where there's already a hole in the wall.. build a frame and make it permanent.. my camper doesn't have the individual zipper areas for the windows.. so not really an option
I don't see a video of your window AC. Did you post it?
Great idea, terrible video. Get some order to your instruction. And a website that no longer exists? Remember, internet lasts forever. You ought to remove this video. No help to anyone
Where did you get that flange??
I've always fancied a Mariner 4 because the are relatively long but unfortunately there's no way of attaching fold away wheels on the transom and handle on the front for easier maneuverability.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I would have installed a mesh screen on the bottom so critters wouldn’t crawl up the hose
Mine is charged but keeps shutting off
One question, now that you've had for 3 years, how did the ceramic coating held up, did it start to flake or is it still intact? thanks
I just got one this a couple of days ago and haven't tried it yet. I'm scared lol But am wondering the same thing and if it's necessary to season this griddle or not since it's ceramic coated.
you do not need to season it@@uniquedivas
Take the axle out and paint it Might help with corrosion
Awesome idea! This is the way I will be going next year. I’m picking up my new Pop up in two weeks so I most likely won’t need it till next season. Thanks again. I was on the verge of deciding on a portable unit.
Materials list?
You are a genius! I have been using a single hose portable AC in my canvas tent and even with 12000 btus, it just could not hold up to the Texas heat. I had major issues with the canvas sucking in and bugs getting in. Also when we camp in humid areas, the unit had to be set up to drain constantly, sometimes getting water in the tent. You solved all these problems!!! I can’t wait to try this in my tent. No cutting, no bugs and cool air!!! Thank you so much. 😊
I have this same one in my camper in the outdoor kitchen. I bought a table for it and cook everything outside. It's absolutely great.
id be wondering how long the springs would last
Couldn’t you just use a dual hose unit for a portable AC?
This was a very helpful video
what is the hottest it can get, for searing a thick steak? thx
If anyone does this, be sure to buy a dual hose unit or you'll be sorry. The air being blow out on this single hose unit has to come from somewhere. Yep, every crack and crevice will have hot outside air sucked through it. I bought my dual hose unit from Costco. 8000 btu heat pump. That means it cools in the summer and heats in the winter by reversing the freon flow. $450-500. Goodluck!
Fantastic video! Great job! How’s the boat holding up? Anything you’d change after the few years of use? I just bought one and hoping I can fit me, my wife and 2 grandkids.
What's the outside diameter of your ac vent tube
Check out the other GCI Rocking Chairs, such as the GCI RoadTrip Rocker, which has a higher back!
How do you take it out
Uhhhh ummmm ummm
Uhhhh
The backpack usually comes sold with sealed ice packs it's not supposed to be filled with ice.
What do you use for power when you camp. As far as a generator.
Very thorough review...thanks!
I have considered doing this with mine and after watching this video I’m convinced I’m going to do the same. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Ray…were you able to try this? I’m about to go pickup an 8,000 btu LG unit I ordered off Amazon for my pop up. I hope this works !!
Do you think if you had used a 8k BTU unit, the sucking of the canvas would not have been ass bad? Maybe the 12k was just to powerful? I have a rock wood pop-up camper and I’m looking into using a portable AC.
A link to the lights you used would have made a much much better video.
I want to see how to use the window ac?
Awesome 👏 🤓🇺🇸👍😊thank u
I know this is old but get a 6in to 4in reducer over in the duck work section of any home store then drill a hole in that to run your condensate pipe that alway you have a tight fit from outside elements
Where do you store that when traveling?
It's cheap enough to buy off Amazon
