2nd AC unit
Our 5er is set up for a 2nd AC unit up front including a 50 amp service and dedicated 20 circuit with 12 ga wire in the ceiling near the front ceiling vent. I'm thinking about installing the 2nd unit ...

I have a 2014 Rockwood Ultra Light Signature 8282 fiver with 30 amp service and one 15k BTU ducted A/C in the Living Room. In full sunshine and temps over 80 it can't keep the whole trailer cool, even with the ducted air. In hotter temps (with full sun) the trailer will creep up to 88 or 89.
If the trailer is 30 amp, is it for sure not prewired for a front vent A/C? I have the roof height for it.
Do you just remove the vent cover to see if there's a pre-wired set up or check elsewhere?
If it is not pre-wired and I bought one of these direct vent Dometic a/c units, how would I run the wire? These dometic units are 110 v units. Would the wire just be run to a new 110 volt side plug? (RV park set ups often have the thirty amp plug along with a separate 20 amp 110 plug.)
My local dealer (not place of purchase) seemed to suggest that it was likely not prewired and if so a second a/c unit could not be added.
Appreciate any thoughts.
