Hi,
I have a 99 Dodge Ram Van 1500 that I put a tall (About 30") fiberglass topper on.
I am going to be moving back into the van soon, and I am preparing it for living conditions once again.
My options to mount the AC unit are, towards the very top of the van in the topper (There is a ledge perfect for it), or, in one of the double-doors in the rear. I may sleep up top again, I cut out the roof of the van and had wooden slats that held a mattress, but it didn't leave me a lot of room up there, and every day I had to fold the mattress up and stack the slats, which was fine at first, but eventually just became tedius.
I was thinking now, of hanging a hammock inside and using that to sleep in, or possibly a mattress on the floor. If I sleep up top, the air conditioner up top would be a good idea, but possibly not a good idea if I am sleeping in the hammock? Does cool air fall (As hot air rises)? So putting the AC in the rear window would not cool the upper air...
I am not sure what to do, here...
