    I would wonder if that unit is built to be bounced around while towing the trailer, unlike those made specifically for RV's...but you could mount it on the front of your trailer and it would be below the tailgate which means it wouldn't effect mileage very much...

    I would assume it's built for it. The ClimateRight's are built to go onto teardrop campers, etc..

    Pulling the trailer with my Explorer = gas mileage sucks anyway and would doubt any window/roof unit would affect it much

    This is really trick. Not sure if I need AC in the trailer I'll be building for this season or not, but if I do I'll grab one of these.

    correctamundo, nor put large holes in the trailer.. Just a couple 4in holes with nice covers. Still now way I'm convincing the wife...

    She says we need air conditioning, but won't let me provide it! :bounce:

    I have; however, being married to a red head, I beg to differ the factualness of this statement... :crutch:

    I think I would cut the vent holes in the floor easier to patch/replace then a outside panel

    You know, that's an interesting idea. Use some 4 or 6 inch pvc pipe vertically from the floor, put a 90 elbow on them that could pivot, and you'd have something you could point in specific directions..

    Unfortunately, I would need the floor space that the random holes would take up (have to be 12" apart).... They come with caps for when the ducting is not run to the trailer. So, I figure if I upgrade that someone just gets a couple extra vents when they buy :)

    yes I was thinking the same. I guess I could put both vents on opposite sides near the wall, but still seems like floor is least likely spot. I was actually thinking cold air drops and warm air rises, so lets say you have a 7_6 interior height trailer. Would you want the cold output duct at the bottom and the intake draw duct at ceiling height, or vice/versa. I am thinking one needs to be high and one low, but not sure which is correct.

    I'd think you'd want to pull out the hottest air at the top, and blow the coldest air in from the bottom..
