Mounting and running mini split AC units

[bridg73988]

Just a couple quick questions about mini split AC units.

1 - Did you mount the outside unit firm, with rubber mounts, or on a floating base suspended by springs?

2- Did you run the copper line all the way to the outside unit or did you stop the copper along the bus frame/body and finish it out to the unit with rubber AC line for flexibility so the copper would not work harden and crack?

3 - Do you run your mini split while driving or only when parked? Seems like the constant bouncing would not be good on a unit while running.

Idk much myself but I read on here that bumping could hurt the condenser. And usually you will need a lot more btu’s while driving so that also makes it not worth it.
