That would be my concern. I don't know how well the compressor and other "outside" components would handle all the rocking and rolling.
Well Sir,
To see how well all those type of components work, in an RV type situation, just look at the thousands of Winnebago and Itascas that were produced from around maybe '00 to about maybe '09 or so. A very, very large percentage of those coaches, were made with "Basement A/C" units. Those are almost the same as a residential mini split. And they are close to regular residential units.
But, in any case, the compressors in those basement units, we have one, last and handle the rocking and rolling that RVs instill on them without issue. Our coach, an '04 Itasca Horizon 36GD with the CAT C-7 330HP, has the basement A/C and at around 15 years old and 89,000 miles of "less than perfect American roads and freeways", that basement A/C is still putting out "tons" of cold air.
