Notwithstanding, a second AC will be a welcome addition. One advantage to doing it as an add on is that you are not limited to 50A sites.

Trust me, Texas can qualify as an oven during June, July, Aug & Sept. The Winnebago Intent was originally one of the 1st coaches we looked at, but all were wired for 1 AC and Winnebago would not support ANY mods made for 2 ACs
I think every Winnebago rep in Texas knew me because I was constantly seeking a workaround. It ended up being the Sunstar; but I noticed that all of the new 2021 Intents come with 2 ACs. At least the ones sold at local Texas Dealer anyway.
Part of my bewilderment was that I can get why in some cases for some units sold up North; a 2nd AC may never be needed, but why they aren't all at least prewired for easy authorized dealer install is nothing more than a travesty.
FWIW, at home, I am normally connected to only 30 amp service. I have 20/30/50 Service. I agree that I could manage to get by with one AC, but when you need two, you need two; and if they ain't there; it is a big issue. When I pick campsites, I go by best location available, not by 50 amp service. When we travel to friends or relatives; I become "
dkuzin Eddie" and I can run the coach and 1 AC off 20 amps
