Ductless AC instead of roof mounted AC
In addition to my roof repairs I am replacing the AC unit on my trailer. Does anyone have any experience with the Mini Split Ductless AC Heat Pump reliability on an RV? I have seen installs on youtub...

I will stay with 120v at 7amps.
I'm also looking at making a relay that will hold the compressor off when the refrigerator or microwave is starting. Something that monitors the amp draw/power coming into the RV. When a threshold of amps is drawn by something the control circuit/wire to the compressor is held open (compressor off or wont start). Make the threshold settable.
Assumed usage:
Microwave 5 amps
Refrigerator 3.5 amps
Ductless ac 7 amps
so about 15.5 amps when all is running and assume 2x when it tries to start
As long as more than one thing does not start within a few seconds of each other all is swell!!
Thoughts?
