Want to install 2nd AC in a 2013 Silverback. It has a ducted system from the lower area AC to the BR. Will the 2nd AC be able to tap into the ducted system or will I have to use a non ducted AC & just dump all the air into the BR? Contacted the factory & they were no help at all, told me to contact the dealer which will be my very last choice.

On my ducted system, the BR A/C goes directly into the ducting. It does not have an inside grill that lets air dump into the BR. Some of the cooling air makes it to the rear LR . Generally we use both A/C's to more rapidly cool the unit down as we setup. The BR A/C is fairly loud and only use it in Texas in the warmer months.

We have a 2012 Silverback with one AC in the middle, and its wired for a second in the front bedroom. I just purchased a second AC to install in the front...which I hope to do sometime in May (due to weather here).Mine is wired with power only, and no thermostat wires, but has the option to tie into the ducts. I want this second AC tied into the current duct system, which requires a certain ceiling assembly, which does not have thermostat controls. Therefore I will have to figure out a way to get the thermostat wires to a wall location.I guess to better answer your question, you should remove the trim-work that is in the vent location now. Should jut be four screws. Take that down, and you will see if you have power, stat wires, and if the ducts are there to tie into. Good luck!

One of my friends with a single AC unit was wanting to add a second AC in the bedroom but was told he would have to rewire everything for 50 amps. If you are looking into this, could you verify whether this is true or not?TIA

It is all about current demand and most dual A/C's would exceed 30 amps-- especially if you use other appliance with the A/C like battery charger, microwave, electric water heater and etc. The start up current and running current should be calculated. Start up for two A/C's simultaneously would definitely trip a 30 breaker.

I find that hard to believe that CC "didn't know". They are the ones that made it. I agree as well on power supply coming into the coach. 30 AMP for 1 A/C, 50 AMP for 2---that is running at same time.
