After a miserable Saturday night of trying to in St. Augustine, I too will
be installing an AC unit. I don't want a rooftop model because I want to
park the Turtle in the garage and now it just fits. I looked at using a
split unit and mounting it under the rear seat, replacing the stock heater,
but those units are expensive.

Right now I'm looking at purchasing a Panasonic window unit and installing
it in the front drivers window while parked. The CW-C50RK is a 5000 BTU/hr
capacity unit that measures 19"w x 14"h x 10"d and weighs 42 lbs.  You can
take a look yourself at
http://www.panasonic.ca/products/AirConditioners/specs.htm . I should be
able to store it under the rear seat when not in use. It is available for
under $200.00 on-line.

I have no stock in Panasonic, but was looking for a unit that I could store
somewhere in the Van out of the way.

If anyone has any better ideas, please let me know before I purchase.

Is it possible to add an electric A/C on the roof rack, like thoses
installed on RV (aerodinamic model)? Or is exist a model you can install on
a westfalia?
