Hi all,
I have a 2016 Dutchmen Denali 325rl.
It is 50 amp and pre wired for a 2nd ac unit.
Has anyone added a 2nd unit?
Any idea if I can tie into the ducts or if I will have to go un ducted?
Any input here is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

I pulled the trim from the vent and it is solid braced.
It looks like I could drill a hole towards the wiring and I am planning on putting in a non ducted unit. This is the easiest most cost effective.
Thanks for all the replies.

An easy way to verify would be to pull the trim ring for the vent and have a look in the cavity. If there's a duct sitting there waiting for a connection then you'd want to use a ducted AC. If not then you'd want a standalone unit. Most trailers that I've seen that come with a 2nd AC option are designed for a stand alone unit in that spot. Ducted or not, it will be effective with reducing the temps quickly.
I would caution against trying to tie into the duct system when it's not designed for it. A lot of these trailer have a duct system designed for one AC. When you tie in a second AC then the efficiency goes down as both ACs try to force their air through the duct work.

Had a second 15K AC added in the bedroom of my Cedar Creek 36CKTS.
Had to mount a junction box for wiring. Tied into existing AC duct work.
