Anyone ever mount a small window a/c unit in a astro van. This is for long term camping at campgrounds ect.

Sure, it's been done.

Nothing holding you back, just need a little creative engineering :dance:

Yeah, I guess I would have just used an inverter instead of strapping a generator to the back of my car.

 

[mattsrevenge]

well, with the generator you can run it w/o the engine on, maybe the only + side?

Personally, I would have mounted the genny on the drivers side. Easier access to the driver to start up, and on the pass side, it makes for one heck of a blind spot.

Thats just to geto for me. I was thing about one of the rear windows maybe.

Ohhh come on. If you mount the genny on the roof, most people in cars wouldn't even know it was up there

Well I haven't looked at a window A/C unit in a long time, but you could pull the window, skin with sheet metal with proper sized A/C hole and paint. If you have those little slider windows at the bottom like in a lot of conversion vans, you could set the unit on the floor and build a duct box up to the window. Then maybe you could put unit on floor or hang from roof and do a roof vent. Then you'd just need a big enough power inverter to run it.
