[C320-list] Portable air conditioner

[Paul Rickman]

I once used a regular window air conditioner in the companion way. 
Worked out great. I got the highest BTU possible that still used 110.
You would need to build some sort of stand for it to rest on in the
cockpit. I put throw pillows on the sides and pulled towels down
on top of it. Would put the temps to 60 degrees at night. Only
disadvantage is that you have to make room for it while going
port to port.

Has anyone used a portable air conditioner the stand up type that is vented through a window hatch. I have been looking and reading reviews. I see some advantages but not sure what the negatives are. I have a Cruisair type you drop in the hatch. It doesn't get very cold it might need a recharge if that can be done?
