They are inherently more efficient than RV air conditioners is the biggest difference.
Huh???
Please explain.
For example ... why would a split 13.5K RV A/C be more efficient than a single package (on the roof or otherwise) 13.5K RV A/C .... especially with regards to a single package on the roof RV A/C with interior ducts distributed shooting down from the ceiling throughout the coach area?
Kindof related .... we specifically went with a 4 ton single package heat pump for our stick house because efficiency losses were less and reliability was better than having an outside-the-house condenser section connected via leakable, rottable, and rodent edible hoses to the inside-the-house evaporator section.
A split system seems to violate K.I.S.S. -> keeping it simple by having everything built and held together right inside the same metal enclosure with all interconnecting tubes made of metal and short in length.
