I installed an evap cooler in a double wide trailer in China Lake (Mojave desert) where temps routinely get above 110 and even 120, and ground temps exceed that of the Sahara desert.

Needless to say the client was very happy!

Someday, someone will invent a truly portable plug-in airconditioner. No hose, no connection to the outside. Impossible?

Extremely informative! I only wish I could purchase the portable a/c unit that you demonstrated over here in the states!
