Jayco 228 or X213, Lance 2185
now considering these units but due to living in south florida i am worried about the heat and have a non-ducted system for keeping cool when we sleep. would love to get some input there.

- I would buy the Jaco just because you get a two year warranty instead of a one-year warranty.
- The non ducted air will keep you cooler than the ducted. On a 35 ft Jayco I had, there was a short box running to the ducts in the front. I modified it to bypass the ducts and it kept the trailer much cooler.
If I had a choice, which you don't usually these days, I would get non ducted air. - Ducted or non-ducted, the X213 isn't big enough to NOT freeze us out with the A/C on. It pumps pretty solid, I never even think about that. I'm more concerned about our slide and having that work correctly (which I believe our dealer and Jayco have fixed if the first extension of it this weekend is any indication).
- We just traded in an x213 that we absolutely loved. Needed bigger bunks for the growing children so upgraded to a Keystone Cougar 28RBS.
Loved the X213 and would highly recommend. As for the Florida heat, I lived in Canada and used the a/c from time to time. Never had an issue. We do have hot and humid summers believe it or not :)
I am sure our humid makes your humid look dry though.
