a window-AC unit under the rear seat!....what a great space and well out
of the way! mounted on the floor for a better, lower center-of-gravity.
Having 50 pound A/C unit on the westy's luggage rack makes the van extra
top heavy...and not good in
side-winds/cornering.
I only wish there was pictures, i hate to cut through all that beautiful
westy formica laminated wood...they arent making these westy's anymore:(

Bud,
The installation that really impressed me was the
one a list member (can't
remember his name) had in the space beneath the
rear seat. It was vented
thru vents to the engine compartment (minor hole
cutting) and the face of
the unit appeared to be factory installed. Very
neat job, hard wired into
the Westy electric system. Of course this was with
him all the time winter
and summer.
your preferences may vary.
I had not thought of putting an AC under the seat. That is the best
idea i've ever heard of. If anyone has any pictures or other info about
this installation I would love to see it.
Thanks,
Ron
