You're correct. It is a side mounted air conditioner. Our 2002 2619 has the same type unit. You'll no doubt get a lot of opinions, but we live where it is hot and humid much of the year, and I consider the AC performance in our TM to be marginal at best when the temp gets in the upper 80's. You don't get much cool air to blow toward the beds (the 2619 has beds fore and aft). I think the factory now uses roof mounted ACs, and I would think they would provide better air circulation, since cool air tends to fall.
We supplement the AC with a few small fans to help move the air. This seems to work pretty well for us.
