My AC was also empty when I got it, except it was new in the box, but packaged in 1993. It turned out that the refrigerant charging valves only relied on an O ring for sealing around the valve stem. We replaced them with modern Schraeder charging valves, ran a leak test, pumped a vacuum, and...

The S250 AC was originally only 6000 BTU, but as they started adding more electronic equipment, the 6000 BTU AC had to become a 9000 BTU AC. It looks like you probably have the shelter's mounting points, so what you would need is the aluminum structure that supports the actual AC. The shelter...

I think you're asking about the front mounted AC and not the rear mounted AC?

That's probably why they designed the S250 AC installation for the rear next to the door instead of on the door. The AC mounts I've seen are definitely designed to carry a load.

Good thought - the manufacturers and shippers do not treat ANYTHING like glass (including glass...). I can remember seeing the gorillas on the pier handling boxes, and it is surprising how well everything came through the journey. At any rate, I have a 6000 BTU MIL AC, and the plan is to stuff...

I had the same thought - a split system would be simple (assuming you could find someplace for the condenser), but they are built to a price, and most homes don't go for weekend drives, so their life expectancy might be less than the warranty. By using a MIL air conditioner, its built like a...

Putting one in the front of the shelter was a thought, as was a rooftop RV unit. Front mounting would impact on sliding the shelter into a pickup, and rooftop works if you mount the AC on a filler - the corners of the shelter stick up about 5/16", and rain can result in a pool that will leak...

From what I've heard, the Army initially set a few hundred shelters up with AC, then sent the AC shelters to Korea, and the non-AC units to Vietnam. The ACs are capable of operation in NBC atmospheres, and virtually every shelter today has an "Environmental Control Unit" -- AC to everyone else...

I am getting ready to add a 6000 BTU MIL air conditioner to my S-250 shelter. This means that I need to cut a hole on the hinge side of the door, and install whatever hardware is required to hang the AC. I've seen the hardware on other shelters at Iola, and I've taken photos and measurements...
