You need to talk to Brainpause (Larry), he has a frame and a light window AC for one of his windows in his camper.
 
 One of the MAPCE members bought what turned out to be a swamp cooler, works great in arid areas, but not in the midatlantic.
 
 Raymond threatened to put a hole in the back of the camper and put a window AC in the hole and mount supports to the bumper to hold it in place.  I bought the Bantam instead.

Is this what you are referring to?

 I bought one of these last year when it was half price at Wally world ($250)
 I took it out of the box and it was HUGE!!  Since our popup is so tiny, I just couldn t see a decent place to put it.  I sold it on ebay.
 
 Here they are on ebay

Welshie, more of a toy than a really useful cooling unit. With only 100 cfm and they say it only cools a 7 x 7 x 5 volume you d need 3 of them to cool a 12 footer and then you d have to replace ice about every 2 hours. If you didn t use frozen bottles (which would slow down the cooling) you also have to deal with all the moisture you d put in the air from the melting ice. Thats how a home humidifier works; blowing air over a water source.
 IMHO if you were in a humid climate it would make it worse not better.
 Might be nice to take to a game and sit on it instead of those hot seats.[]
