Can you turn an A/C 180 degrees?

I have a 2019 Hideout 21FQWE and it has a Dometic 13.5K A/C.
It is not ducted and the way the inside shroud is built, the majority of the cold air shoots backwards. Since the A/C is already in the back part of the trailer, I would like to know if you can turn the A/C 180 degrees and still have the top cover fit? Looking at it, I don't think so.
You can't just turn the inside shroud around either.
At least I don't think I'll be needing the A/C much in the PacNW. And the trailer is small enough that it should cool it down enough.
Any thoughts?

NO! Not without other modifications. Use a couple fans to move the air around, much easier & inexpensive.

Thanks, that's what I thought.
But it doesn't hurt to ask.
Mostly where I go you might only need the A/C for a few hours.

To amplify on the mods, the Dometic pumps cold out to the side and the vent pickup is to the side. I have only looked up at the bottom innards a couple of times but you would have to move the air dam so the cold air exhaust would be to the other side to hit the ducting inlet. Not sure if this is possible but if you removed the bottom part, you could look and see this issue clearly.
