These pics are from a 61 Shasta Compact. That is a Kul brand portable A/C unit. In the picture you can see the hose that goes to a hole in the floor inside the cupboard that allows for drainage. Also notice how they modified the Compact. This was a beautiful unit owned by a darling couple from Kentucky. Forgot their names...darn. Anyway, he totally redid the interior and modified the layout which you'll see a bit of in the follow pictures. Notice they took out the oven/stove and instead built in a double burner in the counter and also put in a larger fridge. Attachments:

Here is a close up of the vent that goes in the floor. If I remember correctly he said that underneath the trailer he has a "slider" of sorts that covers the hole when the A/C is not in use. He said it's sort of a pain getting under and sliding it open or shut but he did it so he doesn't have to worry about moisture getting in or critters. They did mention that the A/C works great and keeps them quite cool (one night they woke up and had to turn it off) but said that if the door is swinging open and closed a lot that it's not effective. Good to know though that this type of portable unit would work well as long as you had the door shut. Attachments:

They shortened the bed and built a cabinet on the door side that has pull out baskets. The closet was made a bit bigger if I recall and they put in the most darling little sink and mirror and put in a port-a-potty that was raised. Behind the port-a-potty he built a built-in dirty laundry basket (cupboard floor to about 2-3 feet tall with hinged lid). On the other side (nearest to the dinette/bed) they had this tall narrow clothes closet. It cracked me up!! It was wide enough for about 3-4 articles of clothes to hang in there. But hey, every little bit of room helps ;D Attachments:
