Got the AC put up on the roof. The shroud is in bad shape. I'm going to spend a few bucks to see if I can repair and paint it. If not a new one will be needed.
My dad removed the tv antenna since the condenser sat right over it's mounting. We left the base plate and sealed the hole. The AC fit perfectly in the fan hole.
We did a couple amp tests with the camper/ac and with the "new" ac. We used a kill-a-watt meter for the testing.
Camper OFF-
Amp- 2.5-2.7 constant
Camper ON-
Amp- peak 14.8 (including constant)
New AC only-
Amp- 13.6 (slowly turning up to high)
Amp- 24+ (cranked right to high)
At this point it was 8:45pm-ish so we called it since we couldn't see anymore. I will do a couple tests tomorrow hopefully. If I can figure out how to run both without tripping 20A, we should be good to go with our 30A.
I'm hopeful w could maybe run them on low cool. but we will see.
