Don't give up on it instead Mod it.

Single hose units work best for this Mod but its doable with a dual hose
The problem with dual hose units is they use 2 different CFM fans with the exhaust being larger as a result it draws air in from the cracks and cycles the indoor air with fresh. *I read* its done so the air stays fresh in the room ie: stale air out with some fresh air in to keep the house from breathing.
Personally i think the design is in place to cripple the portable market but read the design is there to ensure the houses will get adequate oxygen exchange.

First Mod I would do is add a 2nd intake port and add a six inch flex hose to the outside.
If that did not work I would make sure the exhaust vent system is sealed to the intake side so the airflow is in and out.
I imagine adding a 2nd 6 inch intake vent to the side of the unit would be enough of a mod to fix the issue.
