I found a good deal on a roof mount a/c unit. Its a colman 13.5k BTU. The only thing is it doesnt have the peice that goes on the inside of the trailer. How do i get one of these? Any help of how to install the a/c unit would be helpfull as well.
A/C Help If you'll be at Tally this weekend stop by my "MotoPhotos" trailer and I'll give you some tips on the A/C. I put mine in with no problems. You should be able to buy that part at a Camper Supply place that sells the A/C units. Regards, Troy

i found the inside part at a local RV refigeration shop, got it used for $20. How is the duct that come down normaly done. Guy there told me to make one. Any ideas?
You left out, "buy a MIG welder to weld in the extra supports to connect the roof hoops on either side of it." My roof vent/AC unit has a frame all the way around the opening. I'm not sure if it would really be necessary, but they saw fit to do it in the first place. But that's not a bad thing by any measure. Justifying a new toy, er I mean tool, to complete a project is always a feature. If you can use it to get the spousal unit to approve a $3000 TIG welder set-up, all the better.
If you can find a line of reasoning let me know what it is. I've been working on getting a welder of some sort but still haven't gotten persmission... For some reason she feels I should know how to weld first
Talk her into buying the father in-law one for christmas. Then you can just take clame of it after a few months when he hasent used it. And say i'll just keep this in my garage for you, that way you have a nice place to come and weld
How are you supposed to learn if you don't have a welder to play with? That's like buying the text book AFTER you take the class.
Check this out Mongo. Great beginner machine, runs on 110v, can be used w/ or w/o gas, will work on thicknesses up to around 1/4". It is a MIG machine but unless you are doing aluminum (difficult) or heavy duty structural stuff a TIG is overkill. Best deal is lists for only$668 (US). Lot easier to sell this one at home as something you just happened to pick up on the way back from the market. http://www.millerwelds.com/products/mig/millermatic_135/
