There is an interesting German grocery store/concept in the Midwest called
ALDI.  Sell mostly food--cheap.  Also sell products like the computer I just
bought(Medion).  To my surprise; made in Germany.  Bought a pressure
washer--Germany.  Next week they will be promoting an inexpensive 6,000 btu
a.c.  I am curious weather it too is a German built unit.  Just a tip for
you Germanophiles.
I don't use a.c. when camping in Wisconsin/Michigan--more likely to need
heat at night.
BTW, two 5,000 units will cool my (smallish)house to a pleasant 80 on
hottest days.  Where do people live that they can remove their
complex/expensive vanagon a.c.??(and I don't mean folks that despise a.c. on
principle)   Tell me.  I'll check Monster.com ......and I'm there.
