If I visit 100 degrees I may bring along a freestanding portable air conditioner but my 32 fr class A has been entirely satisfactory in the high 90s. For most of the country 2 units simply isn’t necessary.

...dual unit capability should be built into every unit....

With buyers of RV's running all over this country for the best deal, regional building would not work. It's more the humidity on the 90 degree plus days that we battle...not the dry heat alone. Most vehicles (cars and light trucks) built today have a universal wiring harness installed that will accommodate all options. If you order heated seats, it's plug-n-play. Ordering $100K+ RV and skimping on another $800 A/C doesn't make much sense to me. Build them with two A/C's or with one A/C and pre-wire the unit for a second unit if opted for by the buyer would not cost Thor much more money. The 30A to 50A changeover could be plug-n-play also. The aftermarket conversion is 5 times that cost. There is a threshold driven by size that includes many upgrades but most units sold are not in that category.
