Thinking about adding a 2nd AC

Jayco Eagle HT 27.5RLTS - has the 15k whisper quiet unit. Yesterday it did well (89 degrees & real feel of 96.). Noticed that I was still sweating after an hour inside the unit. Dealer said 13.5k unit in bedroom would make a huge difference. Est. cost $1000-1100 since my unit is pre-wired & 50amp. Here in Eastern NC the humidity is so high and uncomfortable so I am thinking long term it would be worth it. Price quoted seems to be about what I was thinking.

Who has added one? Did it make a big difference?

Adding the 2nd AC was the best thing we ever did. Hardest part of the job is getting the unit on the roof.

We ordered ours with three units from the factory (living area, bedroom, and garage) and it makes a huge difference.

I added a second to ours. It was pre wired, and I bought a 13.5 on-line, had it installed by a local RV shop. All in buying and installing was just over $600 if I remember right. And it did make a difference. A side benefit, you can run only the bedroom AC if it's not too hot, and it is much quieter in the living area.

I got a 13.5 Dometic Brisk Air2 w/ inside distributor for $539 shipped.
