Specifications show the Sequence comes standard with 11,000 BTU/hr Power Saver, 2,800 Watt Onan, 1,000-Watt inverter, and two AGM house batteries. I checked and La Mesa has a bunch of them with MSRP sticker confirming standard equipment. It’s all fairly standard for mass-produced van campers.

The only listed option I see is the “Power Pack Electrical System”, which I think one video said would be available at a later time. Whether that system will have a 9,000 BTU/hr A/C I have no idea.


Realistically, the main reason to spend so much money on high-capacity lithium batteries and upgraded electrical is to run A/C off grid for extended periods. And while the 11,000 PowerSaver is efficient, manufacturers could do better with even higher efficiency A/Cs, particularly if running directly off batteries without inverter. Variable speed A/C is key to save energy at night and also make unit quieter.
