i know how you feel bro, i'm in the same boat. i just look at it as it's going to be hot for 3 months, then i'll be alright for the next 9. but to help you out, and i am being dead serious, just roll down your windows and make sure to have a nice cold drink with you. it'll still be hot, but the cold drink helps alleviate it a bit.

Re: (Do_Ster)
you could build a custom bracket to teh frame to mount the a/c compressor 180 degrees from its original location, then re-locate the condensor to the front of the core support, and run custom lines.

I've actually thought of this before. I find that car A/Cs just don't work nearly as well as home units. This would be just the thing for our 100+ degree days. It would also have the advantage of being removable in winter. And furthermore, it would be more energy efficient, as compressors don't do as well when they run at constantly varying speeds. But I would have added one thing for sure: a high-output alternator.
