I wish I had a picture but then again I am telling on myself. Many years ago, my wife and I purchased a used 30' bumper pull. It appeared to be in good shape but found later that there was a lot of hidden damage, the biggest being a water leak. Well we took it on its maiden voyage to a campground about 2 hours away. Halfway during our week long stay, the a/c quit. Turned out the fan blade was brittle and came apart. No local shop could get one for several days. Determined not to end our stay early- this was June and in the mid 90's, I went to Walmart and purchased a window a/c unit. The camper had 2 entry doors so I used cardboard and filled in the door and made a cut out for the window unit. The window unit was then supported with 2x8's that I had cut up for leveling boards that I didn't need. We finished camping the rest of the week. I am sure everyone around just laughed at the Clampetts that were camping. I ended up fixing the a/c and repairing the water leak. A friend then purchased the camper to take to his hunting land.

Seeing a regular house window AC unit in a trailer is almost a common occurrence for me anymore. I don't even look twice when I see it.

We see window unit A/C's in tents all the time around here during the summer. And we also see a lot of tents in full hookup sites, so they can run those A/C's.

Some tents have a flap for it. Go figure.

Saw this today in a parking lot for the Washington Island Ferry. Instead of taking the ferry trip I'd have spent my time getting a new tire!! This one "may" have "issues." Not a real good photo, but you get the idea.

Agree that he needs a usable spare, but maybe he's trying to show the world how sorry the state of trailer tires has become...in many cases.

Actually, no Bob - this is the brand new super secret Berkshire, Submarine edition, that will be released at the Hershey show this year - you are gonna get in trouble for posting that photo from the Forest River secret test area!

Yeah but it's a redneck thing - folks north of the Mason-Dixon line wouldn't understand Bama Rambler
(and yep, we see tents with window A/Cs propped up on coolers all the time )

Spotted last weekend...
Yes, those are German plates. MIL talked to the same folks at a campground the week before and they are part of a group - they had their campers shipped to Argentina and have been working their way north. This summer they will end up in Vancouver where they'll all be shipped home.

I could definitely use this setup. Probably packs down into a nice package. I like it.
And what's wrong with tents having a/c

Boy Scout summer camp two years in a row, I used a 5000 BTU air conditioner. Makes it nice for sleeping in the humid Louisiana summer.

I'm glad you cleared that up for me, Bob. I actually thought it was the final inspection station at FR where they check for water leaks.

Here's something I saw in a campground a couple of years ago. He was living in a burrow not more than five feet from the rear of our trailer. My apologies to any arachnid lovers on our forum, but I couldn't sleep at night knowing he was out there so I was the instrument of his demise.
This is also a good reason to quit tent camping and buy a FR trailer.

You should have just thrown a saddle on it and road it out of town....

The DW would have made me move the unit even after I killed it. I can hear the screams now about that thing hitchhiking it's way to our house and having babies.
Some things I just don't show her.

That would be me screaming from the other side of the campground while my wife is laughing her but off. I also would have either pulled the shotgun out or torched the place.
Did I mention I hate Spiders and the picture about made me drop my phone
