want to add second A/C unit
I have a 2012 Sandpiper 365SAQ, it has only one A/C unit and needs a second. lol. Is there a designated area marked on roof for A/C unit? Do I need a low profile or regular unit?

- For the location, go back to Forest River , they should have it on file, for powering it though it may not be prewired, have your VIN available when you talk with them to confirm.
As to standard or low profile, most 5ers are higher in the front, so unless you want the new unit to be the highest thing on the trailer you will likely need to go low profile. (and it may still be the high point)
Do you have 50 Amp power now? If not you will have to get creative.
If you arent already wired for 50 amp you may want to check out portable units and vent one via hoses through a window or even dryer vent. - We have a second air conditioner(Atwood 13.5K BTU Non-Ducted Air Command Air Conditioner)for our 36 ft. Motorhome that can be plug into 15 amps. Sometimes on the road traveling we have both airs going. My sister and brother in-law are now at the Colorado River in their 5th wheel and just recently took out their Fantastic Fan and replace it with the Atwood Non-Ducted Air Conditioner. They are really happy they did it. Our friends that spends 5 months in Palm Desert did the same thing, replaced fantastic fan with Non-Ducted Air Conditioner.
- No clue but if you have a 30amp rig, it may not be able to run both ACs at one time even IF it were doable to install and I am skeptical..... Good luck.
