Subject:Air conditioner for camping
From:Tim Hannink
Date:Fri, 29 Mar 2002 19:41:42 -0500

My latest project is installing a window air conditioner that can be used
while parked in a campground. It is now installed under my jumpseat as
shown in the following photos:

In order to use this unit in place I plan on building a duct that I can
install between the top of the unit and the middle side window. The seat
bottom itself hinges forward and provides full access to the top and back
of the unit. The unit has no drain, but if needed, I can add one through
the floor.

Your comments and suggestions would be appreciated on what to build the
duct with. I am leaning toward using Astrofoil insulation and making the
duct foldable for easy storage. The top of the duct will either fasten to
the window screen or replace the screen entirely.

Thanks,
