;D lots of us read daily and don't say much unless we have something to share or save someone from making the same mistakes ($) that we have made. Mini splits work for me but I have repair supplies for emergency repair..Not used yet. Have heard of failures which give the system a bad rep Ideal for me would be a rooftop drop in with the same inverter technology. I know some high end motor-home conversions use them. Gree or cree I think was manufacturer. So what my point is we all do it different. But some have been battered for opinions and are just choosy of what we say. I learn something interesting here every day. Bob old fart that loves buses. I definitely think outside box!!!
Every system has it's good and bad points Bob I think the more mini splits installed you guys will find all the flaws JMO,Coleman is coming on the market with the inverter technology but I heard they were going to be over 1K in price range for the 13,500 btu
You always start with a premium price for the buyers willing to pay to have it first.

That is so true Lee
Someone sure needs to come up with somthing better for cooling our coaches!! It is a disgrace when a twenty two year old Coleman cools better than a brand hammer new Dometic!!!!!!!.
There are enough systems in coaches that require maintenance, that other than looks, rooftop airs work, are easy to replace, use no bay space and require little maintenance. Too many try to go with the latest and greatest and never think about what to do if your system breaks down in that place in Egypt.
We love our one & only roof top, we're on our 2nd one in over 38 years. They hold up fantastic and will drop inside temp at least 20 degrees lower than ambient. We're talkin' 13,500 btu on less than 11 amps HE not to mention the heat strip.
Would love to find a mini split that had an outdoor unit built to lay down instead of standing tall, so that you could mount it on the top of the bus. That would make installation really easy and save bay space.
