I love the split systems that I have in my home.
Now that I have the roof on my 2000 Bounder 34T cleared for recovering I'm wondering if anybody makes an inverter system unit for RV's.
There are some 12VDC or 24VDC A/C systems designed for trucks, but nothing in the RV specific market.
Some people have taken residential mini-split systems which do use inverter powered compressors and installed on RV. Not sure how well they would handle all of the bouncing around.
If you are a HVAC person, it would not be difficult to build your own. All of the parts are readily available.
You can of course run an A/C off of an inverter if you have a large enough one and sufficient battery power.
The big win on 12VDC compressors is that they actually use 3 phase AC motors. 3 phase motors are much more energy efficient than straight DC or single phase AC.
