The old roof mounted Coleman Mach was just too loud and too big for this camper. I'm wiring and plumbing this smaller air conditioner in so that it can run off of our inverter and solar panels.

    Dumb question here: This obviously weighs too much too install in a regular car or even RV Window right? at over 40 lbs even when used in park mode for say 2 or 3 days at a time, won't the weight be too much for long term use on the window door frame before warping or compromising the integrity structure of the window frame?

    The only mistake was not smrunning the slide in and out several times before putting the fabric retention screws in (Per the instructions). This lets the fabric end settle in its best position and minimizes the tendency for minor diagonal ripples over time.
