Tom,

In order to install an RV A/C unit you would need to cut a 'standard'
14''x14'' opening to mount the A/C.  It would not fit on the luggage rack up
front, so you would have to mount it on the pop-top.  The lightest unit I
was able to find was 87 LB and could conceivably run on an inverter while
the van was in motion.  I found this out when I was considering purchasing
an air-cooled Westfalia and wanted to minimize the drag on the motor while
still using A/C.

I think you are better off using a small home window A/C unit in the
driver's window, while camping only, and block off the open space using
plywood.

Chris.

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?
