THOR #23309
Mini Split A/C Upgrade

I'm the owner of a Thor Windsport 34J and it has two A/Cs - a 15k btu and a 13.5 btu. In the Texas summer, it won't keep the coach cool enough ... I can keep it around 87 or so during the day and that's just not cool enough.

I've added an RV Air Flow system to both A/Cs. I've added insulation board into all the windows. I've added a ShadePro in the front windshields. It's not enough.

I've considered a third A/C, but my generator won't run all three (5500w) and we spend quite a bit of time at softball parks where we're on the generator.

I thought about replacing the two Coleman roof a/cs with a mini split AC system which is significantly more energy efficient. I like the idea of a 36k btu system with three ceiling cassettes.

My challenge - where is the best place to install the outdoor condenser? Here's one I'm looking at

I've thought about a hitch setup, but was wondering if anyone has done anything like this in a storage compartment? I'm completely new to this and will need quite a bit of guidance.

Thanks in Advance!
Daniel
