<p>UPDATE.. Forgot to mention, as a final step in the completion of the install. The knob controls where relocated from the original location on the window unit. The wiring was extended down thru the roof hole down to the control face of the inside cover. If your not very good at electrical, have someone who knows how to do this (for safety reasons). We just cut the wires and used electrical connectors and a longer length of wire to relocate the switches inside for controls.</p>

<p>Thats true,, You duct the cold air vents downward into the cabin. Seperate duct work will go to the air vents of the roof cowling, (cover). Flex ducting is good to work with and is lightweight.</p>

<p>Thanks for this LW! We have put off dealing with the broken roof A/C as long as we can, we will need to make a decision before this summer rolls around. We forked out for a new shroud when we first bought the rig but the unit itself is non-working. We have tossed around the idea of trying just what you and your friend did. We had all the electrical checked and the wiring is good and will support whatever we are willing to try. Many of the new small trailers come with residential units…</p>

We had all the electrical checked and the wiring is good and will support whatever we are willing to try. Many of the new small trailers come with residential units with a through wall mount so the idea is catching on. I think you have given us the courage to try it - thanks. </p>
