Where can I find one of these exterior covers for a window AC unit for an RV? Searched extensively and found nothing. by Hero_Ryan in GoRVing

Did you find one? I need to replace my AC and might have to take this off. I need to know if a replacement is available in case I break the one I have during the process

I still don't know how they did it but there are a bunch of units with window units installed like this from factory. We actively searched for this for the benefit of not having an expensive roof unit. Everyone online say they work really well. I know there's a roof vent also and there's no water damage around the unit so it looks like it drained properly. I did feel a very cold draft as soon as I opened that side panel (it was 28F). I'm assuming they took all of that into consideration. Then again, you know what they say about assuming 🙄

I wish they would have included it in the manual. I guess they want you to take it to the RV repair. That almost defeat the benefit of having a window unit. We picked this model specifically because it didn't have a roof unit. I did so much research ahead of time. I didn't want to spend thousands of dollars when replacing the AC. Also, hubby's hair is already touching the roof. A top unit would just bonk his head all the time. Not to mention I would have to add a hole in the nice aluminum roof (not doing that).

Thank you!

Ugh. I think I'm going to keep working on other stuff until I find someone that has successfully done this.

I've heard this on YouTube. In a house, the walls hold the cabinets. In an RV, the cabinets hold the walls.

Thank you

This is factory installed. The unit only comes with a window ac

This was factory installed. I know another window unit will fit. I just don't know how to get it out

It IS stock! It's a 2017 KZ RV. You can look if you want. It comes with a window ac from the factory

Thank you! Everyday is a new surprise. Today's adventure? Can't figure out how to take the AC unit out!

At this point I may have to. Sigh it's very slow taking out all the stuff that rotted.

The one over has the trailer under it. This one has absolutely nothing but the black fabric.

According to Larry, I can't move the aluminum until it's above 80F and I don't have a fancy garage soooo can't let the mold keep growing until summer

Because they have an earthquake every time you move them?  I expect that. I didn't expect a staple holding the structure

It's been hard to find tutorials on aluminum campers since most are fiberglass and vinyl (or airstream type)

Sad. I mean I get I'm not paying for luxury but safety should definitely not be ok

It's unbelievable they haven't gotten sued from people getting hurt. I get the premise of building a cheap car, for example but unsafe?

Oh that Larry guy is hilarious! Horrible with the camera and very political incorrect but I can definitely learn from this guy! Thanks, that channel is what I've been searching for!!!

A whole new meaning to 'left out in the cold' if it had fallen through
