Mini Split Install

Well, I decided to install a mini-split after seeing what S Branch did to his toy hauler. I bought a Pioneer WTY-22, and today was the first time of using the unit early days yet got to get used to the controls. The thing does blow out cold air. The only place I felt that I could put the head unit was over the door tall ceiling.
I have seen other videos where others have used the overhead cupboards but did not fancy losing the storage,
I see that it could be better because of blowing cold air up the coach.
I was looking for that wire cover with no joy, so I made up a tunnel to go between the head unit and the switch wall panel where I dropped the line set straight down and stained it the same as the cabinets.
With a bit of surgery at the staircase area, I think the outside unit fitted well.
Took out the fold-away steps and I have installed the drawbridge-style steps, well what do you think?

Guys thanks. I think this is the way to go. It really is quite cold and very quiet only my second day in use it gets very cold at our desk having the head unit over the door.
I do think that if the head unit was at the bottom blowing up the coach being she is long and narrow might be better.
The other thought maybe two 9000bthu's one at top and one at the bottom end could be nice if they run on 120v together, but all in all, I think a good move.
Den.
