Looking in to adding a front A/C unit for better cooling. I'm looking at the Coleman ultra unit w/o the heat strip. It's a 9K BTU unit and should be plenty for that small space. The 5'er isn't pre-wired and I was told today the simplest way is to just add a single 110/30 amp twist-lock connection on the outside and route it thru a circuit breaker to the ceiling unit. Your thoughts or suggestions.
PS-- The dealer has mentioned a price of $1400 to install.

I went this same route three years ago but with a larger unit. It has worked very well for us.

The dealer charged $1300 which included a 30 amp shore power cord and the addition of a 110v outlet wired into the circuit where it routes through an internal wall. This allows us to run another electric heater in cold weather.

Note: be sure to check the new height of your rig with the additional unit on top.
