We take the motorhome when over night or hot. But if we didn't have that, I would be tempted to do a mini split. They are more efficient and there are lots of folks who have done them. I think they would be slick as a motorhome replacement if there was a good place for the inside unit. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

No place in trailer for split unit. When/if I can get to where I build the design I have it might be more feasible . Had three very good comments on Dometic and going that route. Motorhome has dual AC's and needs one replaced if this one works I will be buying another for it. Probably another soon there after. One dies the other is not far behind. America home of free.

Where would you mount the outside unit? Also, it looks like anything bigger than 12000 btu requires 220 volts and a 30 amp breaker. I only glanced at them so there maybe something else out there. Chris, I've bought Coleman, Dometic, and one other brand. Seems everything I own needs a new unit just before I trade it off..lol I always look at the current requirements of the unit.

Dometic 15000 btu pulls 15.9 amps compressor and motor and is 110 volt. 3.5 minimum generator and 5 kw if using two. Hoping with 15000 I will not need second one for trailer. Especially since motorhome needs one right now also. But thats later project. Never a shortage of those you know.LOL America home of free. Brought to you by 2nd amendment. | |||

I usually see them on the trailer tongue. Now in the motorhome, it would need a little more creativity, but I think I could do it on mine. Chris, I don't know what numbers you looked up, but remember the startup amps are way higher. David, I haven't looked at many of them, but you are right. Many are 220V past a certain size.

You know I haven't found any above 12k btu for 110V now that you say it. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||
