THOR #5275
Smile AC installed in ACE bedroom

So I ordered a Coleman 13.5 PS and installed it in the bedroom of my 30.2. Getting the wiring in was a bear but its done now and I'm thrilled to have it. I ran the power (10-2) concealed to a boat style receptacle next to the generator. Now while at a campground we can use it for extra cooling or electric heat in the winter months. I know the existing generator cannot power both however we have a small Honda 2000 that I can bring along as required. Most of the time we will have shore power to use. I really wish Thor would have pre-wired the bedroom for an AC. Seriously how hard could that be during manufacture??

It was 110 degrees this weekend and we didn't want to struggle in the heat lifting it up on the roof. I backed the RV up to the house and just carried it out the window of the house onto the RV. It wasn't too difficult once the sun went down. We tried during the day with a ladder but the sun quickly heated up both the ladder and the AC cover from the heat. My neighbors probably think i'm crazy but hey it got the job done.
