3rd A/C Unit

Wondering how hard it would be to get a third unit installed on the bunk end of my camper. Went to the beach this summer and it got HOT in the trailer.

Two a/c's are not enough for large 5th wheels in the summer heat (95 plus degrees)I also had mobile tech come and check the main a/c, he said it worked like it should. I installed a 3rd a/c in the rear vent of my 38ft fifth wheel. It did take some time pulling wires using a fish tape. But well worth the time and effort. I installed an a/c that was not ducted and find that it works much better. All the air goes dumps in the room with the a/c. On 50amp I can run all three. On 30amp I can run two, we always pick the 3rd one that dumps in the living area( I have a rear living plan). Good luck, you won't be disappointed with a 3rd air.

I have had it checked and they ssay they are normal. The big one is ducted, but the small one is just for the master bedroom. I don't know what vto do.

Are the two units you have ducted to each other? I have 3 a/c's on my Voltage and the middle (main) unit is fully ducted (there is no down vent) and the taping job where it joined the ducts was terrible. You might want to check your ducts for proper taping to make sure the cold air is going where it's supposed to go.

As Sea Six referred to..something ain't right with the two you have. Two units should have kept you cool even in the direct sun at the beach. You should have them checked out before you do anything else.
