Air Conditioner - Yes We Will

Sweet peaceful sleep.  I have a need to sleep.  And I can't sleep in our summers' overheated air that drips with humidity.  Not like the cool droplets on the outside of a beer bottle - it is more like living in a steam shower.  Water in the oppressively hot air condenses on the ceiling and rains down the walls as if all burners were boiling huge pots of pasta.  So we are adding an air conditioner to our vintage Airstream.

But.

No, we don't want a clunky roof air conditioner.  It would ruin the graceful line of the trailer outside.  Even with the new (cool modern) lower profile interior units the interior ceiling would not look "right".

Briefly, we looked at an air conditioner that would slide out of a new street-side drawer.  We were worried about someone outside walking into the open drawer.  Visually, we did not really want to add another access panel to the shell. And then there are reports that the units freeze up.  So we are trying something new!

Our choice is to work with Colin to use a Dometic Auxiliary Self-Contained Truck Air Conditioner.  The noisy compressor will be in a compartment below the floor with air intake and exhaust through louvers in the belly pan.
