Upgrading air conditioner

TikiBarTab

Just wondering if anyone has replaced the air conditioner in the T@b 320s.  Can you use any window AC unit that fits in the space, or do you have to get one especially made for campers?  I'd like to put one in that has a thermostat and remote control.  We will be using it a lot living in FL.  Any recommendations would be appreciated.

One thing of note I will add as something to do in the above install.   Look at the old unit, specifically underneath the bottom pan of the AC unit and see if there are any drain or water exit points on the bottom portion of the air conditioning unit.   I say this because some friends also changed out their AC unit, converted to the digital model and later experienced some leaking or overflow of condensation from the unit.  I was told by the factory to drill about 4 holes in the bottom of the new unit so that any condensation and water can drain down into the pan beneath the unit.   This should eliminate the problem, but be careful when drilling so as not to damage anything above.

Thanks...I'll check into that!
