I’m not being critical by any means but doesn’t cold air fall would you want that higher in the camper? I do understand you wanting to keep as much weight down low as possible.
Good observation. There for sure are pros and cons to the way I did it. In some of my original drawings I had it up higher to conserve floor space, however trying to manage how to get fresh air up into the unit, and exhaust became very complicated. I really like the idea of sucking in air from under the camper, and then exhausting right out the back - this prevented me from having to get auxiliary fans to force the air to move around. I actually somewhat got this idea from another video showing a factory built camper using a similar technique. I guess I'll see how well this setup works. I know 5,000 BTU will probably be overkill for such a small space, but this was the smallest unit I could find with a small price tag (I actually already had it too, which really helps the price lol).
