Jerry -
Just a thought, before you abandon the A/C idea: There's no reason why the
inlet vent has to go through the side - I'm putting my former rooftop a/c
(from another vehicle) under one of the forward 'cafe' seats... and an
LPG-fired 4000watt genset under the other... both will be vented through the
floor, through some flexible clothes-dryer style vent hoses...with
screened-over access panels in the belly-pan. Just make sure there's a large
enough volume of outside air being drawn in... in the worst case, it would
be possible to mount a small 12v 'muffin fan' in the intake stream...
Likewise, the exhaust/muffler for the genset will be mounted inside a
ventilated box inside the belly-pan (to prevent the muffler from melting the
insulation). I'm lining both A/C and genset boxes with this
mylar/foam/lead-impregnated rubber sandwich stuff they use to sound/heat
proof marine engine-compartments. It might seem a bit elaborate, but I think
Wally would approve...

<snip>... I've just about given up on the AC in the TT. Can't bear to cut a
hole in the side ..sigh ..I think I will experiment with the portable
models that you can roll around. Sit it in the bath and put drain line in
the shower. Only worry is the heat from the unit. O' well,. it beats cutting
a hole.
