I have 2 A/C units in a 2011 3950, and when I'm someplace hot it is just barely doing the job. The bedroom unit will cool the bedroom and not much else. The excess cool doesn't seem to transfer to the rest of the unit much at all. A strategically placed fan helps, but only so much.
My friend has a new Dutchmen Komfort with dual a/c units and his are both mounted above the main living area. One unit feeds ducts in the main living area, and the rear bathroom/bunk room. The other unit feeds a duct in the main living area and the front bathroom/bedroom. With both units going and the A/C vents opened up in the "quick cool" mode they will pretty much freeze you right out of the living area. With A/C vents closed the whole unit will stay very cool.
What I'm thinking of doing is replacing the front bedroom a/c with a ducted model, tieing it into the main duct work, and then trying to split that duct work in half so the front unit feeds the bedroom/front bathroom and one vent in the living area, and the other a/c feeds one living room vent and the garage/back bathroom.
Changing the a/c to a ducted model should pretty much be a no-brainer, but the big unknown is splitting the existing duct work in half. It "seems" like it shouldn't be a big deal, but I haven't taken a look at it yet. Can anyone offer any insight on doing this?
