Subject:Re: window AC units - any lower than 5000btu?

Try Home Depot, Lowes, Fry's, Sams Club, or just watch the big ads in the
paper at real cheap low end furniture stores.
These things were $139.00 two years ago when I assembled mine.
Most are 5000 BTU single room air conditioners and come with accordion
type slide panels to seal the window. You might find a use for these but
I never have. I just use a piece of wind brace board, its about 1/8"
thick and ugly hanging there on the side of my Westy but it is easy to
mount on the unit before I lift it into place and flexible enough that it
won't scratch anything. Read the unit weight on the carton, you may find
a lighter weight unit. Mine weighs 48 pounds.
