Not sure if I missed it - did you connect it to the ducting, or is it just cooling the bedroom? If just cooling the bedroom, what steps would be added? Doing the same thing to a Reflection travel trailer in a couple weeks, so I want to have my ducks in a row.
We did the install without ducting. It just had a rubber chute that routes to the louvers to cool the bedroom. I ended up having it ducted later on when we went in for some service work. It was early on and I didn’t get any information on it. Looking at the Coleman mach on their website it doesn’t specify one unit is any different from the other. When we bought the second unit we got the best price from camping world believe it or not. You may call your local CW parts counter and see if any additional install kit is needed. I’ve always found them to be really helpful
Eh, not really here. We were lucky that ours came prewired. I would probably reach out to your manufacturer and see if they can give you a wiring schematic or some guidance. Sorry I couldn't help more here
We did cover it albeit briefly. Luckily our rig was pre wired for the second ac. There was a small box in the ceiling with the wires in it, color coded and super easy. Plug & play in our experience
@@RVUntethered I am in the process of restoring a 78 model travel craft RV wiring is butchered so I'm in his boat. I got regular electrical experience but I don't want to wire it like a regular light and mess up a condenser or something lol. Especially with a 1k plus Coleman.
We didn’t put any caulk around the air units. Our Coleman Mach model had a smash seal built onto the air conditioner, so it compressed when we tightened it down. We were not to put anything around the unit, but each product may be different. If you get a unit that calls for it, I would look into lap sealant, rather than caulk, when it comes to the roof.
If it came in a box leave it in the box and take out on roof
Great Job!

Great video, I'm wanting to do the same thing to mine but it's not prewired. any suggestions?

Did I miss how you wired it in? I didn't see any wiring instructions.

What's the best caulk to use?

You talk wayyyyy too much.
