Not missing anything. Read the specs. This unit provides a couple options for dealing with condensation. Again, if it doesn't fit your needs, find something else?

I'm tapping out of this thread. If you cannot imagine scenarios where this Tripp Lite unit could be applied to your needs, then this isn't the unit for you. I just tossed it out there because folks *are* using this unit to cool teardrop campers - even off-grid.

Well, if I were installing, I'd attach the rear of the unit to a louvered vent on the exterior of the van, slap a 90 degree elbow on the condenser discharge and vent it outside as well. I'd also mount the whole thing up relatively high in the cabin so the room air intake can draw in warmer...

Sorry, I don't mean to be rude but it seems you don't know how AC works. There is no "makeup air." AC does not "exhaust the hot air out of the van." Air conditioning is a heat pump, drawing heat off one air circuit and moving it to another. The SRCOOL2KWM is nothing more than a mini window AC...

Well, nobody expects a window AC unit dropped in the middle of a room to work either. Gotta use basic common sense and install correctly.

It doesn't exhaust - it recirculates. There's a filtered intake and cold air output right below. On the back of the unit is the air intake over the condenser coils and the heat goes out the top.

Not true - look at the pics. There's discrete paths for the cooled air and heat discharge. 2000 BTU is indeed small though. There's a 5000 BTU version as well, with obviously higher power requirements. Then of course, there's also cheap window AC units people have been retrofitting for...

Got mine just a few days shy of two months back in February, but things are worse now. The backups to unload at the Port of Los Angeles are insane.

Tripp Lite does small ACs for IT server racks that could be easily retrofitted to van/camper use. 2,000 BTU for a bit over $500. https://www.tripplite.com/smartrack-wall-mount-server-rack-cooling-unit-2000-btu-120v~SRCOOL2KWM

I was talking about AliExpress on-time delivery guarantee. ALL sellers are required to provide it, no exceptions.

Whichever his AHJ uses.

Have a look at NEC 690.13.

Granted I'm just one data point but I didn't see squat on tracking until my LiitoKala cells were released from customs to FedEx. I've bought a lot of crap direct from China so I was already used to this. Never heard of AliExpress failing on their guarantee so I wouldn't lose sleep over this.

Probably just need to be patient. The number of ships backed up to unload at the port of LA right now is absurd. AliExpress requires all sellers to provide on-time delivery guarantee. There's a date on on your order - once it's passed you can ask them for all your money back.

I suggest hitting the "ignore" option on Derpsy. Made this thread infinitely better for me anyway.
