Selecting the right size of A/C is important because over-sized and under-sized systems can reduce your comfort and increase your utility bill. A system too large will cool your home too quickly and will cause the product to start and stop more, which will shorten the life of the air conditioner. If the size is too small, then the A/C will continually run more which will increase energy costs and may not even cool the room down to a satisfactory level. See similar questions...

For a quick selection of capacity, we can use the rules of the thump (area(ft2) X 65 = BTU/hr require) e.g. Room size 10ft X 10ft = 10 X 10 = 100ft2 X 65 = 6,500Btu/hr. See similar questions...

Your air conditioner furnace filters size is measured by the width x length x thickness in inches. For example, a pleated air filter that is 20x25x1 means 20 inches wide by 25 inches long by 1 inch thick. Most residential air conditioner furnace filters are 1” thick. The actual measurements of each air conditioner furnace filters are usually about half an inch less than the listed size. See similar questions...

This is a personal choice comfort item. Depending on where you live it may be unnecessary to have one, or it may almost be a necessity. Pop-Up campers in the northern states or Canada may not need an air conditioner, but a Texas or Florida camper would probably look strangely at any one with out AC. Even living in the Maryland and camping in the Mid-Atlantic area I am glad I got an air conditioner. An item to keep in mind is that a pop-up has very little (OK, none) insulation.

The industry sound rating numbers are complicated and often difficult to understand. Sound rating is just one of these areas. A difference of 6 decibels (such as between 72 dB and 78 dB) is technically a four-fold increase in compressor sound when rating air conditioners or heat pump units. However, it takes a difference of 10 decibels to double the loudness. It is also noted that it takes approximately 3 decibels for the average human ear to discern any difference in loudness at all.
