I have it, it's made of some semi-flexible plastic. The corners cracked from the AC jouncing around in it for 10+ years.
The problem I have is that the AC unit I have, that I replaced the factory one with, is literally the largest possible one that can fit in the existing space. I built a nice drip pan out of sheet metal, but I can't get it and the AC unit back into the space as one piece without breaking the hose connector off the bottom of the drip pan. I can't put the drip pan in, then place the AC unit, without bending down the walls of the drip pan.
Long term plan is to get a physically smaller AC unit, then I can use the sheet metal pan I made.
The portable AC unit I used on this last trip has a feature where it doesn't need a drain! I guess it internally evaporates the water and blows the vapor out the exhaust duct. I'd love to find that in a wall unit.
Anyway, after fighting with it last year, I just got sick of it. When I go back to it, I need to find a 1) physically small 2) high BTU 3)non drain wall unit. Easy, huh?
