I am curious are RV's in Europe or Australia better insulated than US models?
I have a 21 FT Toyota Sea Breeze class C and have been experimenting with an 8000 BTU AC. I am running into negativity about this with people insisting that a 13.5 BTU unit is needed.
My unit came from the factory with an 11K btu which
works well. I live in hot humid Florida so I know it is enough, perhaps too much?
I am hoping the 8K will work as it will run off a Honda EU2000i
I also know that other countries suggest smaller AC's, in Euorpe a Dometic Fresh Jet 2200 would be recommended at 7500 BTU's. But I wonder if I am not comparing apples to oranges??
Would like hearing from anyone that has used a smaller AC in hot humid climates. I know there are some window AC and 8K and 9K btu units out there. Jim
Australian and European RV's are pretty different. Many local manufacturers now use Composite walls that keep out heat and retain it when it is freezing outside.
