What exactly does "Second AC Prep" mean
This weekend I am going to be looking at a couple of Evergreen Ever-lite Travel Trailers being offered for sale. One is an actual new unit, one is used. Both have 50 amp service and both are billed as...
Forum Discussion
Until an owner or tech who's installed the second A/C on pretty much the same model and year of Ever-Lite comes along and tells us, My Answer:
Whatever the Builder and Vendor want it to mean...
Ideally, there'll be
Dedicated Circuit Breaker
Wiring for Power and Thermostat already installed
Some information on how to do the addition, like where to find that wiring
We bought an old Class C with "generator prep" and it had
An empty compartment that fit a generator
Wiring from that compartment back to the shore tie box (with BARE wires)
Control wiring we never would have found without an electrician's "fox and hound" wire detection gadget
And... NO fuel line! Called Factory, they said "we didn't provide fuel lines in prep"
The original owners we bought our present Class C from, wanted a second Fantastic Fan. In that case, the 12VDC wiring to power one was already there. But no wiring for another wall mounted control, like the OEM one has.
Proceed with caution! Looking at your travel map, if you have a trailer that's big enough to be 50 Amp, you won't just Want a second A/C - You'll NEED it.
I found This Page and see only Pre-Wire = Yes. This for 294RKS Travel Trailer. It seemed there's a 50 Amp option that ups the standard A/C from 13500 (that will NEVER cool a 30-something coach in Texas) to 15000 and also adds the pre-wire. Does not say what the pre-wire feature involves.
