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.

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.
