I am considering installing an evaporative cooler to the existing duct system the heater uses. It's a 14X60 double wide. Has anyone tried this? Can anyone share comments or concerns?

Only if you live in a super dry area like the desert or Reno, Las Vegas etc.
There is also the consideration of mold buildup in the ducting from the added moisture.
In Nevada we had an evaporative cooler on the roof that blew straight in with no long dict work and let me tell you that if could freeze you out. Saves a ton of A/C electricity.

I would check with a couple of A/C dealers in your area first and don't only trust one of them, like 2nd opinions for a doctor.
