Is there an opening on the side of your motorhome? Question 2: Did you measure the decibels when the a/c was on?

The air intake is right above that compartment. It has two standard residential air filters. Air is pulled from inside the RV, cooled through the evaporators and blown through the ducts. The condenser is the only thing outside and hangs below the main enclosure. I didn't measure the dB, but it's pretty quiet from the outside. My neighbors would not know it was running. Inside you can hear the blowers from the bedroom because it's underneath that area. You don't hear it much in the rest of the living area like you would a ceiling unit.

Great job thinking outside the box - very creative and unique design. Clean install too. Man, that looks like a lot of work, congrats! What is the seer rating of this 18,000 btu ducted 12v system? If it only draws 1080 watts (90 amps) to make 18,000 btus of cooling that's an EER of 16.67 which should give it a SEER of over 30. Does it provide heat as well? I'll bet it cost a pretty penny too, not even counting the hundreds of hours of work you put in. We live in our motorhome FT so don't have a home base with a shop to build things. We went with a 12k EG-4 28.5 Seer-2 mini split heat pump. It is super-efficient, and so quiet we can't even hear it run, though the head unit inside is huge. The install was much simpler though. We don't have the bay space on our MH that you do. We had rooftop A/Cs from the factory, so our floor ducting is for furnace only and roof ducting is A/C only. We can run ours all night providing either heating or cooling for only 15-20% of our 16.3kwh 48v battery. We have a 12v 560ah (7.1kwh) battery for our 12v needs. During the day when it's hot, we must run our soft start equipped front 14.5k Furrion A/C too. We've got 4,400 watts of solar on the roof so can run both A/Cs and charge our batteries at the same time. Take care! We hope to see you on the road one day.

Nice setup. We're running 1740W of solar and 810Ah of lithium. I don't know what the SEER rating is for this unit. No it isn't a heat pump, just cooling. All of the high quality 12V compressors and reversing valves are very expensive compared to their 120VAC counterparts...so I'm told.

Great video and recap of your ac conversion. What refrigerant does the new system use? I have an old SCS basement unit in my Beaver and went through that last fall and knock on wood it’s working great. I’m currently on the Mississippi gulf coast and it’s mid to high 80’s, but very humid. I was looking at RV basement units and nothing came even close to matching the existing ductwork. If I have to replace that unit it will have to be a custom build too. If you ever need another custom A/C hose Belfair Hose and Rubber can make them for you.

It is very similar to an automotive system and uses standard R134A refrigerant. You're right. Those units are obsolete and there are no replacements. I only know of one shop in Tennessee that will attempt to repair it.

If you don't have a basement ducted a/c could this be used on the roof ducted units? Also I just replaced my double door norcold refrigerator with a 12 volt only norcold fridge and actually gained more cu ft nit having all that tubing on the back for the propane. Not cheap , just over $4000 but replacing it with the original was almost $5000. Great work you do, very professional.

These aren't designed for roof mount. There are lots of 12V roof mounted A/C units available though.

$7k with you doing all the labor? Beautiful install, but for anyone living in reality, yeah a 12k 120 volt mini split work great for this type of system for about $600. A mini split will only draw max current (10amps) in extreme conditions 100+ or below 30. Plus you get efficient heat, I didn't catch if he got efficient heat or not.

ANY air conditioner is gonna kick ass in 80 degree weather. Come to south Texas in the summer where all HVAC comes to die...immediately. The south will eat up the 12v toy With that being said.. it was a fantastic build/fabrication...but a no no to 12v

@RVwithTito

I'm not sure if it eats more or less. The newer units tend to be more efficient though because they are variable speed and can use less energy when maintaining temperature. Old systems are usually on full-blast of off. With an off-grid setup, a DC powered system can be more efficient simply because it doesn't have to get 120V AC power from the inverter which will have some energy loss from the DC to AC conversion. Not sure if that answers your question. I'm not an expert on the subject, but this is my understanding.

They are really full proof “ruggedized” even the home use units are pretty tough and wouldn’t have any foreseen issues on the road. Kind of disappointed in this video because it comes off in a way that you are pushing a specific product whether or not it’s the best and most affordable.
