well I am to the stage of planing my AC install, I plan to have a dresser in the rear of the camper under the rear window with the AC unit built into the top half of the dresser. a metal bottom with drain will be under it, with sealed sides on the rear half as well, this is one of those no drip AC units but they do splash small droplets out the side when the fan hits the water. so the back half will have to be boxed in and sealed so the water will drain to the pan and out the bottom. it will vent the hot air out the back through a vent under the rear window. the two top drawers will be fake and will fold down to access the AC filter. the only visible clue that an AC unit is in it, will be a small 3x10 vent in the front over the top drawer. the side and front vents will draw in air from a huge vent on the curb side of the dresser (this will be under the bunk bed and not visible.) any thoughts, comments, snide remarks?

Looks good to me! Just make sure all the vents are as big as, or bigger than, the corresponding ones on the A/C... Snide remarks? Ok! You're not really gonna make it out of beaverboard, are ya?

You might want to build a duct from the top front of the AC directly to the vent over the drawers to make sure you get all the cool air you're paying for. Otherwise some will bounce back and be sucked back into the front intake.

We cannot wait to see the finished product. This is going to be one heck of a camper, universal!

Even just a little piece of plywood to separate the intake air from the outlet air.
