Thanks for the tips

Thanks. I may try the foil bubble wrap if I need to. Any tips on attaching it? I did add slide toppers as well. I figured along with keeping leaves and debris off the slides and out of the rig, they would provide shade for the slides as well. Should help the heat load some. I know there is...

Thanks for the tips. I do think I need to pull some covers down and check the ducting.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't done this yet. Thought I might as well wait to see if too little AC becomes an issue. We seem to be okay up to at least 90 or so. Although the main unit sure is noisy in the living area.

Thanks for the reply. I need to do something similar. No handy cabinets or duct work. 30 amp service, so no point of running it to the service box. I believe my walls are 3 inch thick laminations. Heartland won't even okay putting the unit on the roof, because they didn't prep it they...

Thanks. Some scary stuff there....... I really think I have a capacity problem though. Although, now I am wondering about roof insulation losses as well...... Even when I just open the air dump to dump all the cooled air into the living area, it is not enough at very high outside temps.

Can't seem to find the post on AC mods.

looks good. I am a bit concerned about the electrical integrity of the Marinco inlet and the depth of the plug/wall. I am accoustomed to electrical devices being housed in electrical boxes to help prevent fire if the device overheats. Any comments about the integrity of the device? Also, do...

Yep, I have seen that brochure. I really think the roof is strong enough. Sure wish the factory would confirm it and it had the wiring.... I will most liely wait a bit to do it. Go through this summer first and see how it goes. Going to Pechanga (Temecula, CA) in July..... AZ for club...

Sounds like a great place to camp. I have found what looks like a good price here for a Dometic 13,500 Brisk Air 2 AC unit: http://www.adventurerv.net/dometic-duo-therm-brisk-air-conditioner-13500-btu-top-unit-p-1339.html Anyway, I think it is the "2".... Shipping would be around $90 and...

Yours should be simple since it is prepped already. Take the vent out and put in the AC and hook it up. Is the Greystone a full size/height with 5 inch thick roof? My Sundance is an XLT - light weight mid-profile with 3 inch thick roof. It's interesting yours doesn't do better with the...

The current unit is 15,000. Just seems to be not enough if outside temp is 100+. Even opening the dump vent into the lving area and closing off the bedroom, getting the rig below 80 is a challenge.

I am considering runing some surface mount wire mold across the ceiling, down the wall and throgh, terminating in a power inlet plug on the outside. That way I could run a seperate cord to the 20 amp outlet at the power post and run both at the same time. I am curious about roof strength...

Has anyone done this yet? The 285TS has a 30 amp service and is not prepped for a 2nd AC. I was wondering if anyone has taken the plunge to do it themselves.

Sounds like a plan. Thx
