How about up through a vent or down under the rig. But it must go outside to work right.

We have a laundry chute in our bedroom thats located in the cabinet under the sink. I rum the pipe through the chute and open the outside access door to the fiver so it can vent the hot air out. Works great.

Cut a hole in the floor, to be simple about it. I am installing one of those in my bedroom, I can route the vent to the refrigerator hood on the roof.

Is it a very big job to cut a hole in the floor.

I wont to put it in the bedroom in the back and use it to cool just that part.I do have a couple of dummy vents in the back.Will this help in any way to duct the hot air to the outside.My windows in the back are the roll out type.I was thinking about taking the glass out of one of the cranks and replace it with plexiglass and cut a hole in it to fit the exhaust.Im sure this will work but i will have to find me a glass company that will shape and cut the glass.Guess i didnt realize how hard this was gonna be.

Don't think those dummy vents will lead outside. Best to check.

Why not just cut a hole in the wall? They aren't very thick, and seldom have wiring in them. If you have the right tool for cutting, you can save the pieces for reinstallation if you want to take the AC with you later.

I have a storage area in the back that is pretty big.One of the dummy vents lead to this area.Maybe i can lead the hot air to this storage compartment.If i go through the wall i will have to drill to the other side and out the rv to get to the outside.I think that is to risky.
