I see the carry on A/C units on craigslist all the time for fair prices. You might keep an eye on it.

I saw those the other day in Meijers. Looks like it could be a handy unit to have for several different situations. I just wondered what method they used for heat exchange, its gotta go somewhere.


they have a few different portable ones

See that hose going out the back, that has to go outside.

I have one of the 12,000 BTU Soleus units. I returned it once under warranty as it just went dead. The replacement unit ran okay through warranty but shortly after the warranty period the electronics started locking up. The unit is heavy and I would not call it a portable or carry-on unit. The vent hose does have to be run out of the area being cooled, out a window, hatch, etc.

thanks for all the reply's, think ill jus get another portable for the hatch, kinda think the other units with running drain hoses etc..... out the window will prolly jus be a big hassle.
