I have seen one posting on the internet where a TT owner installed a 110 volt mini ductless A/C unit. Don't know if he updated his posting as to how it performed. I installed a 12,000 BTU Pioneer 110 volt mini ductless in my double garage (480 SQ FT). It is quiet and very efficient in the uninsulated garage. My TT has a 13,500 btu Coleman Mach which is too noisy. Although it cools well, the RV industry once again needs to get their collective act(a$$) together and do better. My garage unit also has a heat pump but is only good down to the 40'sish. I know Pioneer has a cooling unit which mounts on the ceiling instead of on the wall like most of their mini ductless do. My mini ductless uses about 9 amps and runs off a regular 15 amp household service and it is not the only item on that circuit. Would be nice to replace that RV A/C unit with the Pioneer unit.

This could be a good idea, just don't see much experience with mini ductless units in the U.S. and the RV industry appears to have no experience with them. Might be a good experiment!!!!!

I've also seen the ceiling mount units on the web. The issue is it still uses the "standard form-factor" outside unit. About the only place it could be mounted would be off the front or rear wall of the camper, and while it would probably work, wouldn't be visually pleasant. You'd also have to figure out how to route the freon lines.

I also hadn't thought about the condensate line that runs off the inside unit, but I imagine that could also be piped away. I'm not certain how that's handled with the ceiling mount units.
