Try Home Depot, Lowes, Fry's, Sams Club, or just watch the big ads in the paper at real cheap low end furniture stores. These things were $139.00 two years ago when I assembled mine. Most are 5000 BTU single room air conditioners and come with accordion type slide panels to seal the window. You might find a use for these but I never have. I just use a piece of wind brace board, its about 1/8" thick and ugly hanging there on the side of my Westy but it is easy to mount on the unit before I lift it into place and flexible enough that it won't scratch anything. Read the unit weight on the carton, you may find a lighter weight unit. Mine weighs 48 pounds. Stan On Sun, 24 Mar 2002 22:53:58 EST Phillip Bouton <Dadtocarson@CS.COM> writes: > Ingenious!
