Adding a BR A/C in 30 AMP Trailer
Hi All,
My biggest regret was not having ordered my Cougar High Country 299RKS with 50 AMP service. But it is what it is. I really want to add an A/C unit in the bedroom. I realize I wouldn't be able to run both units through the house electrical system but I was interested to hear options and opinions for getting power to it.
Also, this unit did not come with ceiling vent in the bedroom at all so the install would be more complex than just a drop in. Is that a big problem or something a competent RV service center can handle?
We've had our 5er for 2 1/2 years now, towed it about 6,000 miles and it has been trouble free essentially. Even still running the original tires (I hope I just didn't put a curse on myself). I have 1 more year to work and our plan is a tour of the US next summer so we want to get a number of things done before then. I just changed to a Mor-Ryde pin box that I love. I am changing out my wheels to 16" and going with a better tire (lot's of good reading here on that). I will be shopping for a good tire pressure monitoring system too. I am also adding an invertor and switching to 4 - 6 volt batteries from our 2 - 12 volt system. And, we may add a satellite dish.
Any input or advice, especially regarding my A/C question, will be greatly appreciated.
