the new Penguins ll are really junk   

I agree, that is why I saved the older ones. They are not the ducted type though. I might just have to add them to the roof.

Picture of the bottom of the Penquins on the plywood stand I made with the addition of ducting.

[DoubleEagle]

Thanks Tom, was this originally a ducted model, and how is the unit positioned (original horizontal or vertical)? The legs are confusing me.

[TomC]

It is positioned just like on the roof, the legs are to raise the unit up for the ducts to clear.

[DoubleEagle]

Ah, so the original outer cover is not used at all?

We always shoot for higher elevation in SW summers. SoCal, NV, UT, NM, even CO, especially AZ, time to get high guys! Lol...

One good thing about living here in 1 hr we can be at 6000 ft in Kingman and 3 hours we can be in Flagstaff at 7800 ft ,Flagstaff here we come

Tom what you did with the roof tops is interesting. I was thinking on a similar idea using window units. Is there an advantage using roof airs or just something you had on hand? dimensions? Space requirements? How did you exhaust the condenser heat?

Clifford; surprise you haven't fled before now! Our temps here and in Dan's area of florida are simular this time of year. 90's feels like over 100   His humidity aproaches 100 %  ours is just in 80%. So his sweat sweats.  I'm inside in ac by 10am.  Guess all those years we had to work outside year round have changed us with age.  God speed to all

We are at 85-90 today in the sun. I walked 10 yards outside, picked up a part and carried it inside and my shirt is wet. Its nuts!

[dtcerrato]

Yeah the bus barn is insulated & air conditioned and where we're spending most of our time. If we're outside in the sauna for any length of time it's on the boat or in the water it's sitting in...

LOL this morning I have the Aquahot on,light jacket and long pants , damn 53F and 5% humidity is cold ,AZ you got to love it a 60 degree swing in 125 miles
