John, your 65 Trade Wind should have 4 vent holes each one 14x14. The front and kitchen should have the standard type vents, unless they have been upgraded to Fantastic Fan Vents. The third vent just aft of the bulkhead separating the kitchen from the bedroom, should be the hole for the A/C. If it has a vent now, the vent should be removed, and a 110 volt romex wire should already be there for the A/C unit. Your choices are limited. You can put in a Coleman, or one of the new Carrier models, but really, there is only one choice. The Duo Therm Penquin, is a solid performer, it is low profile, and it has a special condensate tray to catch and drain the condensate thru a special flexible hose that runs thru the cabinetry, and out thru a hole in the floor and bellypan. If you use any other type of A/C, the condensate will snake around the roof for a while, until it finds an easy path to the ground. If you can live with condensate dripping over the side, then get any A/C you wish. Your local dealer can do the work, or even Camping World. Bill Scott 66 Trade Wind
hello, Looking for an air conditioner that will fit into the vent cutout on my 65 tradewind. (New or used) What size is best for a 24 ft airstream? Should I get a heater/ac combination, given that we will travel in the fall? Thanks john wright
