coach as has been suggested and this might do it for me. It 



certainly would be simple. Let you know.

Perhaps some sort of deflector attached to the existing roof AC that directs the air forward would do the trick. Later WLs has ducted ACs (mine does) but even those don't really blow much cold air up front where you sit in the glass house. 

The ACs on my coach can be directed through the ducts, or you flip a thing and all the cooled are comes straight out of the AC (blowing downward). It wouldn't be that difficult to make up a light weight piece of aluminum that clamps to the AC vent to redirect the air. Make it so you can take it off when you're not on the road so it doesn't affect the headroom when you're parked.

(But I'll bet the 12v fan will give you 90% of what you're trying to accomplish.)

John, Pete is right. Buy a cheap fan. I bought one of those Flying J clamp on fans and clipped it to the overhead consul. Works great and I don't have to run the front AC (and corresponding Super Fan) nearly as much. Sure work the ten to twelve bucks.
