I've been looking at the mini-splits too. But the OP (and me too) is asking about a roof mounted unit that has similar characteristics to the typical mini-split. It doesn't seem that difficult from a manufacturing stand point. Maybe just not enough market to justify the upfront costs. Too bad.
The ones I've seen are mounted on the rear bumper. Probably best to beef up the support (vs the 4inch sheet metal bumper) but should be easy with a little welding.
General thoughts:
- This is not about battery powered air/con running on DC. These are 120v-AC units.
- On a larger RV, you can get a multi-zone with an interior unit in 2 or 3 units fed off one exterior unit.
Avoiding the roof mount is one of the big advantages in my mind.
