The wind tower sounds like it may be a better solition (depending on price I guess).

We got a nice Honeywell brand oscilating fan from HomeDepot last weekend for about $14.  It is a nice compact unit that moves a decent amount of air.  

I am also considering some type of removable deflector in front of the side A/C to direct the air up towards the ceiling.  This should improve our efficiency slightly, since heat rises (and cold air sinks).

All in all we were pretty happy last weekend with our unit.  It was in the mid 90's and we keep it about 72 in the TM.  We were parked in the shade though and full sun might be a different story.

As a side note, I removded the A/C and sprayed some coil cleaner on both sets of coils.  Now the old Fedders looks brand new, and seems to work a little better.

Be sure to keep an eye on your condensate drain if you have a side AC.  Don't want condensate in your cabinets.  Our drain had mud daubers in it.
