I don't have the headroom to do that, 10" roof raise.  :-\
I think with a step up transformer I can run a 240V inverter style 3ton condenser off a 30A 120V connection or my 3500W inverter (continual rating). Even if I can't run all three evaporators that will keep me going most of the time. I believe the wiring difficulties will be easier than trying to find someone to make me a custom rear cap for my MC9.

How tall is your bus with the roof raise?

The big power hog is the compressor, the rest are just fans.

Substitute other space for a pair of 120 units, and use the old ac compartment for storage, if two won't fit into the space?

Not a big deal to fabricate a solid door for the purpose...

We get so hung up on assigning spaces to certain things, and block free thoughts from popping into our heads...

Also, think about how small a space the two of them can take up, and still have appropriate air flow... if you are stuck thinking they have to face a certain way... unstuck it!

Happy coaching!
