Looking for someone else that has a 5th wheel like this.

I am looking at installing next year an air unit low profile in the bedroom was wondering if anyone else has done this and if so, is there power in the air vent ........ I recognize not all
units actually make it so you can do this. Alpha made theirs without roof air conditioners.
They have basement heat and air.

Thanks guys.

  • I owned an Alfa Gold 38.5 ft 5th wheel with the basement air system. I crawled around under that trailer for a while sealing up every single connection to stop the air leaks causing the system to not cool like it should. The a/c unit put out cold air but the trailer always seems to be luke warm. After I got those leaks sealed, the trailer became cold, and I mean really cold when we set the thermostat low. I ended up helping another couple that had the same trailer only shorter fix their air leaks to improve their air cond system. Before adding a second a/c unit you may want to investigate the leaks in your system if the a/c unit is producing cold air. It will make a difference in how well it will cool.
