Thank you for the input. Ron, by residential AC some manufacturers are using the term referring to cold air returns as opposed to the standard RV AC units which are noisy.
Ok, you got me here. I'm not sure what you mean by "cold air returns". Can you explain this to me please?
AC units only cool existing air from inside the rv (or house). I've never heard of one that will take outside air and heat/cool it. My mh has intakes on the ceiling that takes the interior air, runs it through the AC unit to either heat it or cool it, and then returns it back to the interior of the rv. My home AC units does exactly the same so I don't think it makes a difference (in the process) whether the AC is on an rv or house.'
