    Copy that, with a few differences. I lined the bottom of my custom built shelf with nice rubber insulation tape to cushion itself on the window sill and seal it and run a 2 x 4 painted to match the exterior of my truck from the bottom of the shelf to the top of the passenger side step to support the weight. Had a window boot made at the upholstery shop to seal it all up nice and tight.

    No problems so far, might not have had it pushed back that day or the boot far enough over.

    All I know is once I put my complete window coverings up and that unit is running, I am chill(ed)

    I saw a video on YouTube. The Guy had the whole window unit outside, made a plenum, to direct air inside of a camper.

    They have some Interesting units on Alibaba. DC thermoelectric, not sure if they work very well. All sorts of different models. One piece, mini splits. I imagine the shipping would be expensive.
