The logical install would be in the luggage rack area. Biggest problem I see is garageability. There are some portable marine units designed to attach to port holes while docked. Maybe something like that would work?

Maybe, I'm beating a dead horse. But has anyone looked into the typically self contained roof top ones on normal RV's? Of course I assume this mean cutting a hole in the fiberglass top. They might be heavy as well, or not run at an angle. Just wondering.

I went through the process of buying several A/C units trying to accomplish the installation you mention. I tried and returned several small 5000/6000 BTU units but most had plastic cases that prohibited them from any practical mounting that I felt would be durable. I opted for the removable unit in this picture. http://williamwareagency.com/forsale/stanvan/ac_unit.htm Its heavy to hang (50 pounds) and I normally get very wet removing it because the tray is full of ice cold water when I wiggle it off the hanging devise, but its cheap and works good. I saw one unit on a Mexican (Mexico License Plates) bus that was mounted to pass through under the Westy sink area. It was a very nice installation but I'd never cut a hole in my Westy. I experimented with A/C units under the rear seat but every one required cutting a big hole.
